The bit most driveway firms can't do
A dropped kerb is highway work, so it can only legally be carried out by a contractor licensed and insured to work on the public footway. We hold that licence — which means the crossing, the drive and the sign-off all come from the same team, on the same programme, under one quote.
We'll survey the frontage first. Sight lines, footway width, the position of drains, lamp posts, telecoms boxes and street trees all affect whether an application will be granted, and it's better to know before you've committed to a new driveway that you can't drive onto.
- Free feasibility check on sight lines and obstructions before you apply
- Application prepared and submitted to the county council on your behalf
- Full traffic management, signage and public liability cover
- Footway reconstructed to the council's specification and inspected
- Utility diversions coordinated where a drain or box is in the way
