Dropped Kerbs in Sittingbourne

Council Certified Dropped Kerb Installation

A&A Construction & Surfacing is council certified to undertake dropped kerb work. Our experience extends across excavation, ground preparation, drainage and surfacing, allowing us to approach the crossover as a complete construction project rather than simply altering the kerbstones.

Council certification of the contractor does not automatically provide approval for a new crossover at an individual property. The proposed access may still require permission and will need to satisfy the requirements applicable to its particular location.

Creating Off-Street Parking in Sittingbourne

For properties with a suitable frontage, creating dedicated off-street parking can provide a practical improvement to everyday vehicle access. Where no crossover currently exists, however, the connection between the road and new parking area needs to be considered as part of the project.

We can undertake both the dropped kerb and driveway construction, allowing the complete entrance to be planned together from the initial preparation through to the finished surface.

Complete Driveway Installation

We install tarmac, resin bound and block paved driveways throughout Sittingbourne, providing a choice of finishes to suit different properties and preferences.

A complete driveway project can include excavation, ground preparation and drainage where required before the final surface is installed. If a new dropped kerb is also needed, the crossover can be incorporated into the wider project.

Dropped Kerbs for Existing Parking Areas

You may already have a suitable driveway or hard-standing area but still require proper vehicle access from the road. In these circumstances, we can discuss installing the dropped kerb without replacing the entire parking surface.

The existing layout, pavement and levels will need to be considered so the physical work required for the crossover can be established before construction begins.

Groundworks Beneath Your Vehicle Crossover

The construction beneath a dropped kerb is particularly important because the area will regularly carry vehicles entering and leaving the property. A section originally intended as pedestrian pavement may require different preparation when it becomes part of a vehicle route.

Groundworks are one of our core services, enabling us to undertake the excavation and preparation ourselves and coordinate this with any associated driveway work.

Road, Pavement & Driveway Levels

Existing levels can vary considerably between properties. The height of the road, pavement and private frontage all influence how the finished vehicle entrance needs to connect.

When we are constructing a new driveway alongside the crossover, we can consider these levels throughout the preparation of the private parking area, helping create a practical transition into the property.

Drainage for New Driveway Projects

Where a larger section of a property’s frontage is being resurfaced, drainage may also need to be considered. The layout and levels of the new driveway can influence how water behaves across the completed area.

A&A Construction & Surfacing undertakes drainage as part of our wider groundwork services, allowing associated work to be incorporated into the driveway installation where required.

Driveway Finishes to Suit Your Property

Customers combining their dropped kerb with a new driveway can choose between several different finishes. Tarmac provides a straightforward and durable surface, resin bound driveways provide a decorative aggregate appearance, while block paving offers a distinctive paved finish.

We can discuss the different options based on your property and the result you want to achieve, with preparation remaining a key part of the installation whichever surface is selected.
