Dropped Kerbs in Warwickshire – Professional Installation by South West Works

At South West Works, we specialise in the installation of dropped kerbs across Warwickshire, helping homeowners and businesses create safe, legal, and convenient vehicle access to their properties. A dropped kerb provides a smooth transition between the road and your driveway, ensuring compliance with local regulations while preventing damage to pavements and public pathways.

With extensive experience in dropped kerb installations, we handle the entire process for you—from securing council approvals to delivering high-quality construction. Our skilled team ensures a seamless and hassle-free experience, whether you’re installing a new access point or upgrading an existing driveway entrance.

Understanding Dropped Kerb Regulations in Warwickshire

Before a dropped kerb can be installed, approval from the local authority is required. Warwickshire County Council oversees this process to ensure that installations meet safety standards and do not interfere with existing infrastructure. As part of our service, we guide you through the application process, ensuring all necessary permissions are obtained before work begins.

Certain factors may influence the approval process, including:

  • Properties on classified roads (A, B, or C roads) typically require planning permission.
  • Driveways exceeding five square metres with non-permeable surfaces must have proper drainage solutions to manage surface water runoff.
  • Local councils may have additional requirements based on property location and surrounding infrastructure.

Our expertise in working with local authorities means we can efficiently handle the application process on your behalf, ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations.

Our Dropped Kerb Installation Process

As trusted experts in dropped kerbs across Warwickshire, we follow a structured approach to ensure a high-quality, compliant installation:

1. Site Assessment
We start with a full site survey to determine whether your property is eligible for a dropped kerb. This includes checking space requirements, potential obstructions, and council regulations.

2. Application Assistance
If planning permission or council approval is required, we assist in preparing and submitting all necessary documentation, ensuring the process runs smoothly with minimal delays.

3. Professional Installation
Once approved, our accredited team carries out the installation using industry-leading materials and techniques. Before excavation begins, we conduct a CAT scan to detect underground utilities and prevent accidental damage. The process involves removing existing kerbs, installing new lowered kerbs with tapered edges, and resurfacing the footpath using council-approved materials.

4. Compliance and Final Inspection
After installation, we ensure that the work meets all council regulations, providing you with a fully compliant, long-lasting dropped kerb that enhances your property’s accessibility.
