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.
Before quoting groundworks in East Molesey we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around East Molesey are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in East Molesey include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive 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
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
