Dropped Kerb Specialists in Gloucestershire – South West Works
At South West Works, we are leading dropped kerb specialists in Gloucestershire, providing expert installation services for homeowners and businesses looking to create safe and legal vehicle access. A properly installed dropped kerb allows vehicles to cross the pavement without causing damage to public walkways, all while complying with local council regulations.
With extensive experience in dropped kerb installations, we manage the entire process from start to finish. From securing council approvals to delivering high-quality construction, our skilled team ensures a smooth and hassle-free experience for every client.
Expert Assistance with Council Approvals
Installing a dropped kerb requires formal approval from the local council to ensure compliance with safety regulations and infrastructure guidelines. Gloucestershire County Council oversees this process, and requirements can vary based on location. Our team of specialists navigates these regulations on your behalf, assisting with applications and ensuring all permissions are secured before work begins.
Certain factors can impact the approval process, including:
- Planning permission is required for properties on classified roads (A, B, or C roads).
- Driveways over five square metres with impermeable surfaces must include suitable drainage to prevent water runoff.
- Local councils, such as Cheltenham Borough Council, may require a lawful development certificate or additional permissions.
Our experience in dealing with local authorities means we streamline this process, ensuring compliance while minimising delays.
Our Professional Dropped Kerb Installation Process
As trusted dropped kerb specialists in Gloucestershire, we follow a structured approach to ensure each installation is carried out professionally and to the highest standard:
1. Site Assessment
We begin with a thorough site survey to determine whether your property meets the criteria for a dropped kerb. This includes checking space availability, potential obstructions, and local council requirements.
2. Application and Planning
If planning permission or council approval is needed, we guide you through the application process, ensuring all paperwork is completed accurately. Our expertise in local council regulations means we help prevent unnecessary delays.
3. Professional Installation
Once approval is granted, our skilled team carries out the installation using industry-leading techniques and materials. Before any excavation, we conduct a CAT scan to identify underground utilities, ensuring a safe and efficient process. We then remove existing kerbs, install lowered kerbs with tapered edges, and resurface the footpath with materials that meet council specifications.
4. Compliance and Final Checks
After installation, we ensure the work meets all council regulations, leaving you with a high-quality, durable, and fully approved dropped kerb that enhances the accessibility and functionality of your property.
