Dropped Kerb Installation in Gloucestershire by South West Works
At South West Works, we provide professional dropped kerb installation services across Gloucestershire, helping homeowners and businesses create safe and legal access to their properties. A dropped kerb, also known as a vehicle crossover, allows vehicles to move smoothly from the road onto a driveway while protecting pavements and ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Our team handles every aspect of the process, from initial consultation to securing council approvals and carrying out high-quality installations. With years of experience in the industry, we ensure that your dropped kerb installation meets all required standards, providing a seamless and stress-free experience.
Expert Guidance Through the Approval Process
Installing a dropped kerb in Gloucestershire requires permission from the local council. Gloucestershire County Council regulates this process to ensure all installations meet safety and infrastructure requirements. As part of our service, we guide you through the application process, helping you submit the necessary paperwork and liaising with the council to keep things moving efficiently.
Certain factors may affect the approval process, including:
- Properties on classified roads (A, B, or C roads) often require planning permission.
- Driveways larger than five square metres with impermeable surfaces must include drainage solutions to prevent water runoff.
- Local authorities such as Cheltenham Borough Council have specific requirements, such as the need for a lawful development certificate.
With our expertise, we simplify these steps and ensure all regulations are met, saving you time and effort.
Our Dropped Kerb Installation Process
We follow a structured approach to ensure smooth and compliant installations:
1. Site Assessment
We begin with a detailed site survey to confirm that your property meets the criteria for a dropped kerb. This includes checking space requirements and identifying any potential obstructions.
2. Application Support
If planning permission or council approval is required, we assist in preparing and submitting all necessary documentation. Our team stays up to date with local authority regulations, ensuring a straightforward application process.
3. Professional Installation
Once approved, our accredited contractors carry out the work to the highest standards. We use precision equipment to scan for underground utilities before excavation, ensuring a safe and efficient installation. The process includes removing the existing kerbs, installing new lowered kerbs with tapered edges, and resurfacing the footpath with materials that meet council specifications.
4. Completion and Compliance
We ensure that all work is completed in line with local authority guidelines, providing a fully approved and durable dropped kerb that enhances both the accessibility and value of your property.
