Based locally in Medway, we are council certified for dropped kerb works and bring over 25 years of construction, groundworks and surfacing experience to every project.
We can undertake dropped kerbs for properties with existing off-street parking as well as complete projects where a new driveway and vehicle access are being created together.

If your plans include a completely new driveway, you can take advantage of our FREE dropped kerb with every qualifying new driveway installation.
A&A Construction & Surfacing installs tarmac, resin bound and block paved driveways throughout Gillingham and Medway. Combining the driveway and crossover means the preparation, levels and finished entrance can be approached together, subject to the necessary permission and site requirements.
Council Certified Dropped Kerb Contractors in Gillingham
A vehicle crossover affects the area between a private property and the public highway, making it important that the work is undertaken appropriately. A&A Construction & Surfacing is council certified to carry out dropped kerb works, providing Gillingham homeowners with an experienced local contractor for the construction of their new access.
The proposed crossover may still require permission and need to satisfy the relevant local authority requirements for the individual property. Contractor certification and approval for a particular crossover are separate, so the necessary requirements should be established before construction begins.
Creating Vehicle Access to Your Gillingham Property
If you have space for off-street parking but a standard raised kerb separates your property from the road, a dropped kerb can provide the appropriate vehicle access. The kerb is lowered and the crossover area prepared so vehicles can move between the highway and private parking area.
Every property has a different layout, so we consider the existing levels, pavement and proposed entrance when assessing the construction required.
Complete Driveway & Vehicle Crossover Installation
Creating new off-street parking can involve considerably more than laying the visible driveway surface. Existing ground may need to be excavated, an appropriate foundation prepared and drainage considered before the chosen driveway finish is installed.
Where a dropped kerb is also needed, we can coordinate this work with the driveway construction. This gives customers one experienced team for the groundworks, driveway and vehicle crossover rather than having to arrange several different contractors.
Dropped Kerbs for Existing Driveways
Already have a driveway or suitable parking area? We also undertake standalone dropped kerb projects in Gillingham where a new vehicle crossover is required without replacing the complete driveway.
We can inspect the existing entrance and discuss the physical work involved. The applicable permission and requirements for the proposed crossover will need to be satisfied before the work is undertaken.
Preparing the Vehicle Crossover
The section between the road and private driveway needs to cope with vehicles regularly passing over it. Appropriate preparation beneath the finished crossover is therefore an important part of the construction.
Our extensive groundwork experience means we can undertake excavation and preparation as part of the project. This practical background is particularly useful where existing levels need to work with both the crossover and the driveway beyond it.
Driveway Options for Gillingham Homes
If you’re combining your dropped kerb with a new driveway, we offer several different surfacing options. Tarmac provides a clean and practical finish, block paving offers a more traditional paved appearance, while resin bound surfacing provides an attractive decorative aggregate finish.
We can discuss the different options based on the property, intended use and appearance you want to achieve, with the associated ground preparation and drainage incorporated into the project where required.
Levels, Drainage & Access
A successful entrance needs the road, crossover and private driveway to work together. Existing levels can influence how these areas connect, while drainage may also need consideration when hard surfaces around the front of a property are being altered.
Because A&A Construction & Surfacing provides drainage and groundworks alongside driveway installation, these elements can be considered as part of the complete project rather than only focusing on the final surface.
