Dropped Kerb Contractors Altrincham
Belvoir Contractors builds dropped kerbs in Altrincham for households tired of hunting for a space on the street. Across WA14 and WA15 we handle dropped kerb installation as part of a complete parking solution, working to what Trafford Council requires for a vehicle crossing. As dropped kerb contractors who also build the drive itself, we plan the lowered kerb, the pavement crossing and your new frontage as one job from the start.
Your visit begins with a free site survey, where we measure the frontage, look along the kerb line and check the levels between the pavement and your front door. A fixed written quote follows, with no obligation to go ahead. Our own fully insured team digs out, sets the new kerbs and then lays the driveway behind the crossing, so no sub-contractors are involved at any stage.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Altrincham
Every dropped kerb in Altrincham needs consent from Trafford Council before anyone drives over the pavement. Planning permission is a separate question, usually only needed for a classified road or a listed building.
Before anyone drives over the footway in Altrincham, Trafford Council has to consent to a vehicle crossing. Officers look at visibility for drivers pulling out, street trees, lamp columns and road gullies, any grass verge, and whether the road is classified or inside a conservation area. Some councils build the crossing themselves while others let an accredited contractor do it with consent, and we check which applies to your street.

Local knowledge
Lowered Kerbs Along Dunham Road, Hale Road and Broadheath
Altrincham has a wide spread of housing, and the kerb work changes with it. Along Dunham Road, part of the busy A56, sightlines and passing traffic get close attention from the council. Older streets near the Old Market Place conservation area often have narrow pavements and original boundary walls, while the newer roads around Broadheath tend to have wider footways and fewer obstacles. Mature street trees are common on the roads between the town centre and Hale, so we note root spread and tree positions early on.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Altrincham
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Altrincham?
Several things set the price of a dropped kerb in Altrincham: how many kerbs need lowering, how wide the footway is and how it was built, whether there is a grass verge, and any utility covers or cables in the way. Any application or inspection fee the council charges sits on top, as does the new driveway behind. Call 0161 841 7075 to book a free survey.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Altrincham?
Applications go to Trafford Council, who decide whether a crossing can be approved at your address. At our survey we explain what they typically ask for, such as a sketch of the frontage and photos, and help you put it together. Once consent is in place, we build the driveway so it lines up with the approved crossing. The final say always rests with the council, never with us.
Do I need planning permission for a dropped kerb?
Highway consent from the council is always needed. Planning permission is a separate question: you usually also need it if the crossing gives access onto a classified road, and listed buildings need extra consent. Trafford Council confirms what applies to your address.
Is it illegal to park across a dropped kerb?
The Highway Code says you should not park where the kerb has been lowered to help wheelchair and mobility scooter users, and councils with civil parking enforcement can issue a penalty to a vehicle blocking a dropped kerb. A proper crossing to your drive also protects your right to get in and out.
Can I drive over the pavement without a dropped kerb?
You should not. Driving over a full-height kerb damages the kerb, the footway and the services underneath, and the council can take action to stop it or require a proper crossing. Getting consent and having the crossing built correctly is the safe route.
Will you build the driveway behind the dropped kerb?
Yes. Most of our dropped kerb customers want the front garden turned into parking at the same time. We lay block paving, resin or tarmac driveways, with the levels matched to the new crossing.
