FROM FOOTWAY
TO DRIVEWAY.
A dropped kerb creates lawful, practical vehicle access across the footway. The exact construction and permissions depend on the location and local authority requirements.
GMGB can assess the physical work required and complete the excavation, kerbing, preparation, reinstatement and connection to your driveway.

DROPPED KERB FAQS.
Do I need council permission?
Permission is commonly required because the work crosses a public footway. Requirements vary, so the relevant local authority should be checked before work begins.
Can an existing entrance be widened?
Often yes, subject to the site layout, utilities, street furniture and any required local authority approval.
Can you connect it to a new driveway?
Yes. GMGB can coordinate the entrance with a wider driveway and groundwork project for consistent levels and finish.
What could affect the work?
Utility covers, lamp posts, trees, gradients and road or footway construction can all influence suitability and design.
NEED A NEW VEHICLE ENTRANCE?
Send the address and clear photographs of the kerb, footway and proposed driveway entrance.
