Dropped kerb applications across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
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.
Driving over a pavement without a dropped kerb is an offence and can damage pipes and cables under the footway, so a new drive with no crossing should not be used until one is in place.
Across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, the projects we price include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive.
Prices in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde

Planning in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde
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
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Paisley jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
