Dropped Kerbs in Kent
Council Certified Dropped Kerb & Vehicle Access Installation Across Medway, Kent & Surrounding Areas
If you need a new dropped kerb in Kent, A&A Construction & Surfacing provides professional vehicle crossover installation for homeowners and properties throughout the county. Based in Medway and backed by over 25 years of construction, surfacing and groundworks experience, we are council certified for dropped kerb works and can undertake the physical construction required to create practical vehicle access to your property.
Our central location allows us to provide dropped kerb services across a wide area of Kent, including Medway, Maidstone, Sittingbourne, Faversham, Canterbury, Herne Bay and surrounding towns and villages. Whether the crossover forms part of a completely new driveway or is required to improve access to existing off-street parking, we can discuss the work involved and provide a free quotation.
FREE Dropped Kerb With a Qualifying New Driveway
For Kent homeowners considering a completely new driveway, A&A Construction & Surfacing currently offers a FREE dropped kerb with every qualifying new driveway installation.
We install tarmac, resin bound and block paved driveways and can undertake the excavation, ground preparation, drainage and surfacing involved in creating the new parking area. Where a dropped kerb is also required, the driveway and vehicle crossover can be approached as one coordinated project, subject to the relevant permissions and site requirements.
Council Certified Dropped Kerb Contractors in Kent
A dropped kerb involves more than simply lowering the kerbstones outside a property. The pavement or verge between the highway and private driveway needs to accommodate regular vehicle movements, making appropriate construction and preparation important.
A&A Construction & Surfacing is council certified to undertake dropped kerb works. We combine this with extensive experience in excavation, ground preparation and surfacing, allowing us to undertake the different construction elements required for a professionally finished vehicle crossover.
Vehicle Crossovers for Kent Homes
Creating off-street parking can make everyday access to a property considerably more convenient, but where a pavement and standard raised kerb separate the road from the driveway, suitable vehicle access is also required.
A professionally constructed vehicle crossover creates the transition between the highway and your private parking area. We can assess the physical layout of the entrance, existing levels and adjoining surfaces before undertaking the necessary construction work.
Dropped Kerbs for Existing Driveways
You do not necessarily need a completely new driveway to use our dropped kerb service. Where suitable off-street parking already exists but vehicle access needs to be created or improved, we can undertake the crossover work as a separate project.
The individual property will need to be assessed to determine the work required, and any necessary approval for the proposed crossover should be obtained before construction proceeds.
Kent Council Requirements & Permissions
Although A&A Construction & Surfacing is council certified for dropped kerb works, this does not automatically provide permission for a crossover at every property. Approval for the proposed access and certification of the contractor carrying out the work are separate considerations.
The applicable requirements depend on the location and circumstances of the property. Factors such as the proposed position of the access, visibility, existing pavement, utilities, drainage and nearby street features may need to be considered by the relevant authority.
Customers should therefore ensure that the necessary permission and requirements for their individual property have been established before the crossover is constructed.
Groundworks & Preparation
The area beneath a vehicle crossover needs to be prepared for its new use. A section previously intended primarily for pedestrians will subsequently experience vehicles repeatedly travelling between the road and driveway.
Groundworks are a major part of A&A Construction & Surfacing’s wider business, so we can undertake the excavation and preparation associated with the crossover rather than only dealing with the visible finished surface.
Driveway & Dropped Kerb Specialists
Many dropped kerb projects are directly connected with the construction of a new driveway. Using one contractor for both parts of the project can make it easier to coordinate the levels and transition between the highway, crossover and private driveway.
Our driveway options include tarmac, resin bound surfacing and block paving. We can also undertake associated drainage, groundwork, paving and landscaping where these form part of the wider improvement to the front of the property.
Dropped Kerbs Across Medway & North Kent
Being based in Medway means we are particularly well placed for dropped kerb projects across Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester and Strood, together with Rainham and the surrounding Medway area.
Our coverage also extends throughout North Kent and neighbouring locations, with our team available to discuss both standalone vehicle crossover projects and complete driveway installations.
Dropped Kerbs Across Mid & East Kent
We also undertake dropped kerb and driveway projects further across the county, including Maidstone, Sittingbourne, Faversham, Canterbury and Herne Bay and surrounding areas.
If your particular town or village is not mentioned, contact us with your postcode and details of the proposed work. Our coverage extends throughout Kent and into surrounding areas depending on the nature of the project.
