Why it matters
Legal access starts at the kerb
Driving over a full-height kerb can damage the footpath, vehicles, and utilities — and it is usually not allowed. A proper dropped kerb creates a lawful crossover with the right falls, strength, and reinstatement for everyday use.
- Council approval guidance before works begin
- Accurate levels from road to driveway
- Kerbs dropped and reset for vehicle use
- Footpath and verge reinstated neatly
- Optional driveway or parking works quoted together
Our process
From visit to finished crossover
We keep the steps clear so you know what happens before, during, and after council approval.
Site visit and access check
We measure the crossing, check levels, drainage, utilities, and how the new access will meet your driveway or parking area.
Planning and permissions
Most dropped kerbs need local authority approval. We talk you through the council process and what evidence or drawings they typically expect.
Build and reinstate
Once approved, we excavate, drop and reset the kerbs, form the crossover, and reinstate the footpath and edges to a neat, durable finish.

FAQs
Dropped kerb questions
Quick answers before you request a quote.
Do I need planning permission for a dropped kerb?
Yes in most cases. Vehicle crossovers usually need approval from your local highway authority before work can start on the public footpath. We explain the process during your site visit so you know what to apply for.
Can you install a driveway at the same time?
Often yes. Many customers combine a dropped kerb with a new or resurfaced driveway so levels, drainage, and edging are planned together. Tell us what you need and we will quote the full package clearly.
How long does a dropped kerb take?
The physical works are usually completed in a short programme once permission is in place. Timing depends on the width of the crossing, utilities, weather, and any related driveway works. We confirm the expected programme before we start.
