Dropped kerb applications across Gwynedd
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.
Driving over a pavement without a dropped kerb is an offence and can damage pipes and cables under the footway, so a new drive with no crossing should not be used until one is in place.
Projects we quote in and around Bangor include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property.
Prices in Gwynedd
Guide prices for Gwynedd are based on North Wales rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Dropped kerb applications: about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority.
Planning in Gwynedd
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.
Weather and working days
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Bangor jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Dropped kerb applications in Gwynedd: questions
How soon can you survey in Gwynedd?
Call 0800 088 6341 or use the quote tool and we will offer survey dates. Surveys are free and run all year.
Do I need planning permission in Gwynedd?
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Is the price fixed for Gwynedd jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
