A&A Construction & Surfacing provides professional dropped kerb installation throughout Strood and the surrounding Medway area. If you are creating off-road parking, installing a new driveway or need appropriate vehicle access to an existing parking area, our experienced team can undertake the physical construction of the vehicle crossover.
Based in Medway and backed by over 25 years of experience in construction, surfacing and groundworks, we are council certified for dropped kerb works. From excavation and ground preparation through to the crossover and adjoining driveway, we can provide a complete approach to improving access to your property.
FREE Dropped Kerb With a Qualifying New Driveway
Customers choosing us for a qualifying new driveway installation can benefit from our FREE dropped kerb offer. This enables the new parking area and vehicle access to be completed as parts of the same wider project.
The offer applies to qualifying new driveway installations and the crossover remains subject to site suitability, the necessary permissions and relevant local authority requirements.
Council Certified Dropped Kerb Contractors in Strood
Dropped kerb construction involves the area between the highway and private property, so it is important that the work is carried out by an appropriately experienced contractor. A&A Construction & Surfacing is council certified to undertake dropped kerb works and provides vehicle crossover installation throughout Strood.
Certification of the contractor is separate from permission for the proposed crossover. Depending on the individual property and location, local authority approval and other requirements may need to be satisfied before construction can begin.
Creating Off-Road Parking at Your Strood Home
Converting a suitable frontage into off-road parking can make vehicle access considerably more convenient, but a driveway needs an appropriate connection with the highway. Where a standard raised kerb and pavement run across the front of the property, a vehicle crossover may be required.
We can undertake the physical work involved in creating this access, considering the existing kerb, pavement, levels and proposed driveway when planning the construction.
New Driveways & Dropped Kerbs
If you’re starting with a frontage that does not currently provide suitable parking, A&A Construction & Surfacing can undertake considerably more than the dropped kerb alone. Our services include excavation, site preparation, drainage and complete driveway installation.
Having these elements handled together allows the levels and construction of the new driveway to be coordinated with the vehicle crossover, creating a practical transition from the road into the property.
Driveway Options for Strood Properties
We install tarmac, resin bound and block paved driveways throughout Strood and Medway. Each provides a different appearance, allowing homeowners to choose a surface that works with their property and the type of finish they want to achieve.
Whichever surface is selected, good preparation remains fundamental. We can undertake the groundwork beneath the driveway and incorporate associated drainage where required before completing the chosen finish.
Standalone Vehicle Crossover Installation
Not every dropped kerb project requires a new driveway. If your property already has suitable off-street parking and you simply require an appropriate crossover from the highway, we can discuss carrying out the dropped kerb work independently.
The existing entrance and surrounding area will need to be considered so we can establish what physical work is required once any necessary permission for the crossover has been obtained.
Proper Preparation Beneath a Dropped Kerb
A vehicle crossover regularly carries cars across an area that may previously have formed part of a pedestrian pavement or verge. The work therefore involves more than changing the height of the visible kerbstones.
Our background in groundworks enables us to undertake the excavation and preparation necessary for the project. This experience is particularly valuable where the crossover is being incorporated into a wider driveway or frontage improvement.
Connecting the Road, Crossover & Driveway
Creating comfortable vehicle access requires consideration of how the different surfaces meet. The level of the road, pavement and private property can all influence the finished entrance.
Where we are constructing both the driveway and dropped kerb, these elements can be considered together. This allows us to plan the preparation and finished surfaces as one coordinated project rather than treating the driveway and crossover independently.
Drainage Around New Driveways
When a larger area at the front of a property is being converted into a hard-surfaced driveway, drainage may also need to be considered. The existing layout, levels and chosen driveway construction can all influence how surface water is managed.
Drainage forms part of our wider groundwork capabilities, so where additional drainage work is required it can be incorporated into the overall driveway project.
