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 Ossett we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Ossett are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across West Yorkshire, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. 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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Ossett jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
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.
