Dropped kerb applications across Perth and Kinross
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.
Highway authorities look at visibility, distance from junctions, trees, lamp posts and the size of the parking space. We measure the drive to the authority's standard, help with the application drawings and photographs, and time the drive so it is ready when the crossing is built.
In Perth we can price work such as replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance.

Planning in Perth and Kinross
A dropped kerb always needs consent from your council as roads 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
Tayside has cold winters and a shorter laying season, so jobs are usually booked for the warmer months. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
