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 Merthyr Tydfil depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Merthyr Tydfil have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Merthyr Tydfil include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about dropped kerb applications.

Planning in Merthyr Tydfil
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 Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
