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 Leamington Spa depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Leamington Spa range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Leamington Spa we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about dropped kerb applications.
