Dropped Kerbs in Rochester
Council Certified Dropped Kerb & Vehicle Access Installation Across Medway, Kent & Surrounding Areas
A&A Construction & Surfacing provides professional dropped kerb installation throughout Rochester and the surrounding Medway area. From creating access to an existing parking space to combining a new vehicle crossover with a completely new driveway, we can undertake the physical construction required to create a practical entrance to your property.
We are based locally in Medway, have over 25 years of experience in construction, surfacing and groundworks and are council certified for dropped kerb works. Our wider driveway and groundwork capabilities mean we can take care of the complete frontage where more than the crossover itself is required.
FREE Dropped Kerb With Qualifying New Driveways
Homeowners choosing A&A Construction & Surfacing for a qualifying new driveway can also benefit from our FREE dropped kerb with every qualifying new driveway installation.
This provides an excellent opportunity to complete the new parking area and vehicle access together. The dropped kerb element remains subject to the necessary permissions, suitability of the site and applicable local authority requirements.
Council Certified Dropped Kerb Installation
A&A Construction & Surfacing is council certified to undertake dropped kerb works. Where work involves the pavement and highway boundary, it is important to use an appropriately experienced contractor for the physical construction of the crossover.
Individual vehicle crossovers can still be subject to local authority approval and site-specific requirements. Council certification of the contractor does not itself provide permission for a new access at a particular property, so the applicable requirements should be established before construction begins.
Experienced Dropped Kerb Contractors in Rochester
Installing a dropped kerb involves altering the existing access between the road and private property. The kerb needs to be lowered and the crossover area appropriately prepared so that it can accommodate vehicles travelling to and from the driveway.
Our experience in excavation, ground preparation and surfacing allows us to undertake these different elements as part of the same project, with the work tailored to the existing layout of the property.
New Vehicle Access for Rochester Properties
A property may have enough frontage to create useful off-street parking but still require appropriate access from the highway. Where a raised kerb and pavement separate the proposed parking area from the road, a new vehicle crossover may form an essential part of the project.
We can assess the physical site and undertake the groundwork, kerbing and surfacing required to connect the driveway with the highway once the necessary requirements have been satisfied.
Combine Your Dropped Kerb With a New Driveway
If the entire frontage is being transformed, arranging the driveway and dropped kerb together can provide a more coordinated approach. Levels, preparation and the transition from the road into the private parking area can all be considered as parts of one project.
A&A Construction & Surfacing installs tarmac, resin bound and block paved driveways throughout Rochester and the wider Medway area, with excavation, ground preparation and drainage available where required.
Tarmac Driveways & Dropped Kerbs
A new tarmac driveway can provide a practical, clean-looking parking surface for a Rochester property. Where there is currently no suitable vehicle crossover, we can incorporate the dropped kerb into the wider project rather than leaving the access to be arranged separately.
Our tarmac and groundwork experience allows us to undertake the preparation as well as the finished driveway, creating a coordinated transition between the crossover and private parking area.
Resin Bound & Block Paved Driveways
For homeowners looking for a more decorative finish, we also install resin bound and block paved driveways. Both options can significantly change the appearance of a property’s frontage while providing a dedicated area for off-street parking.
Where the new driveway also requires a vehicle crossover, we can plan the construction of the entrance alongside the chosen driveway surface.
Dropped Kerbs for Existing Parking
A complete new driveway is not always necessary. If you already have a suitable parking area but do not have an appropriate crossover from the road, we can discuss installing the dropped kerb as a separate project.
The existing driveway, pavement, kerb and surrounding levels will need to be considered when determining what work is required at the property.
Groundworks Beneath the Crossover
The visible kerb is only part of a vehicle crossover. Once an area becomes a regular route for cars entering and leaving a property, the construction beneath the surface becomes particularly important.
As experienced groundwork contractors, we can undertake the excavation and preparation required as part of the installation. Where a new driveway is being built at the same time, the preparation on both sides of the property boundary can be coordinated.
Levels, Drainage & the Finished Entrance
Properties can vary considerably in height relative to the road, so existing levels need to be considered when creating new vehicle access. The finished crossover and driveway need to connect in a practical way rather than being treated as completely separate surfaces.
Drainage may also need to be considered when the wider frontage is being resurfaced. Our groundwork and drainage services allow these aspects to be incorporated into a complete driveway project where required.
