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 Hatfield we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Hatfield mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Hertfordshire, the projects we price include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Hatfield
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Laying days in Hatfield are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
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.
