Dropped kerbs for your new driveway.
If you want to drive across the pavement onto your property, you need a dropped kerb with the council's permission. We fit dropped kerbs alongside new driveways across Sandbach, Crewe and Cheshire.
Council approval first
Dropped kerbs need permission from the highway authority — Cheshire East, or Cheshire West and Chester. You apply to the council; we can explain what they usually ask for.
Built with the driveway
Planning the kerb and the driveway together means the levels, falls and drainage at the boundary work as one.
One assessment
We look at the pavement, verge, levels and drainage at your site assessment and include it in your written proposal.
Dropped kerb questions
Do I need permission for a dropped kerb?+
Yes. Any work on the public pavement needs the highway authority's approval. The decision is the council's, and you should have it before work starts.
Which council do I apply to?+
Most of our area is Cheshire East. Northwich and the west of the county are Cheshire West and Chester.
How much does a dropped kerb cost?+
It depends on the width, the pavement and any services underneath. We price it after your site assessment.
