Professional Dropped Kerb Contractors Across Kent
Installing a dropped kerb involves much more than simply lowering the kerb stones. The pavement must often be reconstructed to withstand vehicle traffic, drainage levels may need adjusting, and the work must comply with local highway authority requirements.
Our experienced groundworks team carries out professional dropped kerb installations using quality materials and proven construction methods. Every installation is completed with safety, durability and compliance in mind.
We work throughout Kent on projects ranging from individual residential driveways to larger commercial access points.
What Is a Dropped Kerb?
A dropped kerb (also known as a vehicle crossover) creates a safe transition between the road and your driveway by lowering the kerb and strengthening the footway beneath it.
Driving over a standard kerb can:
- Damage the pavement
- Damage your vehicle
- Lead to enforcement action by the council
- Create hazards for pedestrians
A properly installed dropped kerb protects both the highway and your property while providing safe, convenient access.
Do You Need Permission for a Dropped Kerb in Kent?
In most cases, yes.
If your driveway connects directly to a public road, permission from the relevant local authority is usually required before installation can begin.
Approval may consider:
- Road classification
- Traffic speeds
- Visibility splays
- Nearby junctions
- Existing street furniture
- Utility services
- Drainage
- Footway construction
- Pedestrian safety
Our team understands local authority requirements throughout Kent and carries out installations in accordance with approved specifications.
