Drop Kerbs in East Sussex, West Sussex and all Surrounding Areas Including Eastbourne
Looking to make the transition between your driveway and the street outside your home less jarring? Drop kerbs are exactly as they sound – a much lower kerb that is safe to drive across, providing a seamless transition between the driveway and street. M Jaques Groundworks and Surfacing is a popular and trusted installer of drop kerbs in Bexhill, Billingshurst, Burgess Hill, Eastbourne, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Lewes, East Sussex and West Sussex
Also referred to as crossovers, these essential features help prevent the kind of vehicular damage so commonly sustained that it is literally referred to as “kerbing”. They also help you circumvent the law, which prevents a vehicle from driving across public footpaths. However, do keep in mind that you will require planning permission from the local authority to have one installed.
Groundwork contractors help you secure said permission and provide:
- Free quotations and expert, no-obligation advice
- The removal of the previous kerb
- Disposal of any waste generated
- A speedy and stress-free installation
- Expert project management from start to finish
- Work completed in line with all relevant regulations
So why not contact us for a consultation? We have installed countless drop kerbs to date for projects in Bexhill, Billingshurst, Burgess Hill, Eastbourne, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Lewes, East Sussex and West Sussex.
Before drop kerbs are installed, our groundwork contractors will need to carry out a survey to measure the paved area, and to ascertain whether there are any underground utility lines present. By getting a comprehensive idea of the footpath and road itself, we can draw you up an authoritative and ultimately convincing proposal that you can then submit to your local authority.
But what might affect your planning application? Chiefly, the classification of the road that is being altered. Private roads and unclassified roads around Bexhill, Billingshurst, Burgess Hill, Eastbourne, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Lewes, East Sussex and West Sussex can be altered without having to seek an approval, while Class A, B and III installations will all require an application.
Drop kerbs designated for commercial use are also subject to slightly different regulations than those that are applied to domestic use.
The fact this might seem somewhat obscure or complicated is why we assist our clients with getting the go-ahead. Other reasons that we recommend choosing our groundwork contractors over other installers of drop kerbs in the aforementioned areas, include the fact that we are card carrying CSCS members with a huge amount of experience in this area, and a Buy with Confidence approved company that cares about its customers and clients.
This makes for peace of mind, knowing you will receive a standard of service that meets all regulatory requirements and appeases your local authority.
