Dropped Kerbs in Devon
Professional Dropped Kerb Installation Across Devon
Hutchings Groundworks & Plant Hire provides professional dropped kerbs in Devon for homeowners, businesses and commercial properties requiring safe and suitable vehicle access.
Also known as vehicle crossings, dropped kerbs provide a properly constructed access point between the road and your driveway or parking area. Our experienced team can manage the groundwork and installation while helping you understand the approval process required before work begins.
Whether you are creating a new driveway, improving access to an existing property or installing a vehicle crossing for commercial premises, we can provide a complete and professional service.
Dropped Kerbs in Devon – We Can Handle The Paperwork
Dropped kerb installations must meet the requirements of the relevant highway authority. In Devon, approval is required before work can begin, and the appointed contractor submits the vehicle crossing licence application.
Planning permission may also be required depending on the property and location. This can apply where access leads onto a classified road or forms part of a larger development. Listed buildings, conservation areas and other circumstances may also require additional consideration.
Our experienced team can help you understand what is required and assist with the application process before installation takes place.
New Vehicle Crossings
If you intend to drive across a pavement or highway verge to access your driveway, a properly constructed vehicle crossing is required.
The existing pavement must be adapted and strengthened so that it can safely accommodate regular vehicle use. The kerbs are lowered to create suitable access while the surrounding area is constructed to the required specification.
Our team has extensive experience in groundworks, excavation and surfacing, allowing us to undertake the complete installation rather than relying on several different contractors.
Dropped Kerbs for New Driveways
A dropped kerb is often required alongside the installation of a new driveway.
Hutchings Groundworks & Plant Hire can provide both services, giving you one experienced team for the vehicle crossing, driveway preparation and finished surface.
Our driveway options include block paving, concrete, resin and slab installations. Combining the groundwork and surfacing with the dropped kerb installation can help create a consistent approach from the road through to your property.
