Dropped kerbs in Sale M33
Dropped Kerb Contractors Sale, Greater Manchester
Parking on a crowded M33 street every evening soon wears thin, which is why so many households ask us about dropped kerbs in Sale. We offer dropped kerb installation in Sale from Ashton upon Mersey across to Sale Moor, following the vehicle crossing process run by Trafford Council. Plenty of dropped kerb contractors simply lower the kerb and leave. We lower it and then give you a proper place to park behind it.
Nothing is priced from a photograph. One of our team visits for a free survey, walks the pavement, measures your frontage and talks through where the crossing could sit. You then get a fixed written quote with no obligation. The same insured crew, never sub-contractors, lowers the kerbs and builds the driveway behind, and we are approved by Brett, Tobermore and The Resin Mill.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Sale, Greater Manchester
Every dropped kerb in Sale 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.
A vehicle crossing in Sale needs consent from Trafford Council before you drive across the pavement. Their checks cover how well you can see along the road, plus anything in the way such as a lamp column, gully, grass verge or street tree. Classified A and B roads and conservation streets can bring extra steps. Whether the council or an accredited contractor builds it varies, so we confirm that.

Local knowledge
Vehicle Crossings Off Marsland Road, Northenden Road and Brooklands Road
Much of Sale was built for the railway age rather than the car, so many terraces near the town centre and the Metrolink have no off-road space at all. Along Washway Road and Cross Street, both part of the A56, traffic is heavy and visibility is a real issue. Sale Moor streets off Northenden Road are tighter, with cars lining both sides most nights. Out towards Brooklands the footways are often wider and some have verges, which changes how a crossing is put together.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Sale, Greater Manchester
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Sale, Greater Manchester?
A dropped kerb in Sale is priced on the number of kerbs being lowered, the width and build-up of the footway, any verge that needs crossing and whether manholes or utility covers sit in the way. Council application or inspection fees are separate, and most people also want the driveway behind. Ring 0161 841 7075 and we will come out for a free survey.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Sale?
You apply to Trafford Council for a vehicle crossing. We can explain what the application normally covers, help you prepare a sketch and photos of the frontage, and point out anything on the pavement that might raise questions. The council makes the decision, and we would never promise an outcome. Once it is approved, we set out your new drive so it meets the crossing neatly.
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.
