Dropped Kerbs in Canterbury

Council Certified Dropped Kerb Installation

A&A Construction & Surfacing is council certified to undertake dropped kerb works. Our wider experience in groundworks and surfacing also means we understand the construction beneath the finished crossover rather than concentrating solely on the visible kerb.

It is important to remember that contractor certification and permission for an individual crossover are not the same thing. A proposed dropped kerb may still require local authority approval and will need to satisfy the applicable requirements for its particular location.

New Vehicle Access for Canterbury Homes

If you have suitable space at the front of your property, creating off-street parking can provide a practical alternative to relying entirely on roadside parking. Where there is no existing vehicle crossover, however, suitable access from the road also needs to be considered.

We can construct the dropped kerb and crossover required to connect the highway with your parking area once the necessary permissions and requirements have been satisfied.

Complete New Driveways in Canterbury

Our driveway services include tarmac, resin bound and block paving, giving homeowners a choice of finishes for their new off-street parking area. We can undertake the excavation and preparation beneath the driveway as well as installing the final surface.

Where a dropped kerb is required at the same time, the levels and transition between the road, crossover and new driveway can be incorporated into the overall project.

Dropped Kerbs for Existing Driveways

A new vehicle crossover can also be installed independently where a property already has a suitable driveway or parking area. This may be appropriate where off-street parking exists but access from the highway needs to be created or improved.

We can assess the existing layout and determine what physical construction is required once the applicable approval for the crossover has been established.

Groundworks for Vehicle Crossovers

Once vehicles begin regularly crossing an area of pavement, the construction beneath the surface becomes an important consideration. Simply lowering the kerb does not address the wider preparation required for a proper vehicle crossover.

Groundworks form a major part of our business. We can undertake excavation and preparation as part of the dropped kerb project and extend this work into the property where a complete new driveway is also being constructed.

Driveway Levels & Access

The difference in height between the road and the property can influence how a new entrance needs to be constructed. Careful consideration of these levels helps create a practical transition from the highway through the crossover and onto the private driveway.

Our experience across site preparation and driveway installation allows these areas to be considered together where we are undertaking the complete project.

Drainage for New Driveways

When a front garden or existing external area is converted into a driveway, drainage may need to be considered alongside the new surface. The layout and construction should work with the individual property and surrounding levels.

As drainage is part of our wider groundwork services, we can incorporate associated drainage work into a new driveway installation where required.
