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.
In Kirkby-in-Ashfield, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Kirkby-in-Ashfield mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Nottinghamshire, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about dropped kerb applications.
