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 Darton depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Darton are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Darton we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about dropped kerb applications.

General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Rainfall varies widely across Yorkshire, from the drier Vale of York to wetter Pennine towns, and cold snaps shorten the laying season at either end. 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.
