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.
Before quoting groundworks in Llandudno we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Llandudno, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Typical projects we can quote for in Llandudno include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about dropped kerb applications.

General information for Wales, not legal advice.
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 Llandudno jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
