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 Kenilworth, 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. Around Kenilworth, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Kenilworth we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.
