Vehicle Crossing/Dropped Kerbs

A “Vehicle Crossing” is defined as a section of kerb, lowered to provide vehicular access to an individual property. A standard crossing is usually five kerbs, made up of two dropped kerbs and three flat kerbs in the centre. Two metres of footway will be dug up and re-tarmacced. It is accepted that more than five kerbs may be required and such a quotation would reflect this. An exact fee is unavailable due to the bespoke nature of therequirements. However a typical fee ranges from £450 to £550. It is also possible to have an existing crossing extended.

 

 

For a person who is disabled, a vehicle crossing can be installed without charge (subject to consents required for Council Houses and Classified Roads). It should be noted that there is a long waiting list for this service (currently approx 12 months - this is due to budgetary constraints).
