What dropped kerb applications involve
A dropped kerb, or vehicle crossover, is a lowered section of kerb and strengthened pavement that lets a car cross the footway to reach a driveway. It needs consent from the highway authority (your council in England, Wales and Scotland; DfI Roads in Northern Ireland), and the work in the pavement is done by that authority or a contractor it approves.
Groundwork prices in Prestwich depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Prestwich have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Prestwich include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.

A dropped kerb always needs consent from your council as local highway authority, whether or not the driveway itself needs planning permission. A new access onto a classified road can need planning permission as well.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
