Services / Dropped Kerbs
Dropped kerb installation in Trowbridge & Wiltshire
If your new driveway meets the road, you'll need a dropped kerb (vehicle crossover) installed to your local highway authority's specification. We build crossovers to Wiltshire Council requirements and can guide you through the application.
A compliant crossover involves more than lowering a few kerb stones: the footway has to be excavated and rebuilt to a heavier-duty specification so it can carry vehicles, with kerbs re-laid at the correct transition heights.
We often combine dropped kerb work with a new block paving, resin or tarmac driveway, handling the whole project — application guidance, crossover and driveway — as one job.

Common questions
Do I need permission for a dropped kerb?+
Yes — a vehicle crossing application to your highway authority (Wiltshire Council for most of our area). We'll help you with the details it needs.
Can I just drive over the kerb?+
No — it damages the footway and services beneath it, and the council can require you to stop or pay for repairs. A proper crossover protects you.
