Reliable & Durable Dropped Kerb Installations in Sevenoaks
Driving over a full height kerb to reach your drive is not permitted, and it damages both the kerb and the footway beneath. A proper dropped kerb gives you a legal vehicle crossing, with lowered kerb units and a footway built to take the weight of a car every day.
Every crossing we build in Sevenoaks follows the specification set by the highway authority, from the depth of excavation to the concrete haunching behind each kerb.

Professional Dropped Kerb Installations in Sevenoaks
The process starts with your application. A dropped kerb sits on the public highway, so approval from the highway authority is needed before any digging, and we can help you with the application and the details it asks for.
Once approval is granted, the footway is excavated, the full height kerbs are replaced with transition and dropped kerb units set on a concrete bed, and the footway is rebuilt to vehicle loading and finished to tie in with the pavement either side. The authority may inspect the completed Sevenoaks crossing before signing it off.

Dropped Kerbs in Sevenoaks
Quality You Can Depend On
A poorly built crossing shows its faults quickly: kerbs tilt, the footway cracks under the weight of a car, and the highway authority can require it to be put right.
We bed and haunch every kerb in concrete, build the footway to the depth vehicles need, and finish the surface so it meets the existing pavement cleanly. Our Trading Standards Buy With Confidence approval gives Sevenoaks homeowners an independent check on how we trade.
Serving SevenoaksSevenoaks Dropped Kerb Repairs & Upgrades
Older crossings were often built for smaller cars and can be too narrow or too steep for a modern vehicle. We can widen an existing dropped kerb, reset kerbs that have sunk or cracked, and rebuild a footway that has broken up under traffic, subject to the highway authority’s approval.
Widening a crossing usually needs a fresh application, so speak to us before booking any work on a Sevenoaks crossing and we will explain what the authority is likely to ask for.
