Dropped kerbs in Stockport SK1-SK8
Dropped Kerb Contractors Stockport
From the terraces around Hillgate to the semis of Reddish, Stockport homeowners ask us how to get their cars off the road. We create dropped kerbs in Stockport across SK1 to SK8, following the vehicle crossing process managed by Stockport Council. Our dropped kerb installation is done by the same people who then build the driveway. Having the same dropped kerb contractors on both keeps the levels between road, pavement and drive consistent.
Stockport slopes make every frontage different, so we always carry out a free site survey before quoting. You get a fixed written quote and no obligation to proceed. Our own fully insured crew, never sub-contractors, lowers the kerbs and lays the driveway behind the crossing, with the falls set so rainwater runs away from the house rather than towards it.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Stockport
Every dropped kerb in Stockport needs consent from Stockport Council before anyone drives over the pavement. Planning permission is a separate question, usually only needed for a classified road or a listed building.
Stockport Council must consent before a vehicle crossing is used to drive over the pavement. They consider sightlines, street trees, lamp columns, gullies and grass verges, along with whether the road is a classified route, such as the A6, and whether it sits in a conservation area. Some councils build the crossing themselves and others allow accredited contractors with consent, and we check what applies.

Local knowledge
Dropped Kerbs for Reddish, Adswood and Heaton Norris Homes
Stockport housing ranges from Victorian terraces around the town centre to interwar semis in Reddish and Heaton Norris and postwar estates in Adswood and Brinnington. Steep streets are common, so the gradient from road to house affects how the crossing and driveway are shaped. The A6 and other main routes carry heavy traffic, which brings visibility to the fore. On estates with grass verges, the crossing has to be built through the verge as well as the footway, which adds to the work.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Stockport
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Stockport?
In Stockport, the cost of a dropped kerb is set by the number of kerbs lowered, the width and construction of the footway, any verge, and the utilities or covers along the line. Slopes can add work too. Any Stockport Council application or inspection fees are separate, as is the driveway behind. Call 0161 841 7075 to arrange your free survey.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Stockport?
You apply directly to Stockport Council. We explain what they generally ask for, help you get the drawings and photos together, and mention anything at the kerb, such as a lamp column, that may affect the decision. Approval is up to the council and is never certain. Once it is given, we build your driveway to line up with the agreed crossing and the slope of your plot.
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. Stockport 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.
