Dropped kerbs in Hale WA15
Dropped Kerb Contractors Hale
Gated drives and generous plots are common in WA15, yet many Hale homes still lack a proper crossing from the road. We build dropped kerbs in Hale and Hale Barns, handling dropped kerb installation alongside the driveway work so both are finished together. Trafford Council controls vehicle crossings here, and we explain what they will look at. As dropped kerb contractors and driveway builders, we carry on from the footway edge through the gateway and up to the house.
Every enquiry gets a free site survey, where we look at the pavement, the gateway and the levels up to the property. We then put a fixed written quote in front of you, with no obligation attached. Our own fully insured crew does the digging, the kerb setting and the new driveway behind the crossing, without handing any part of it to sub-contractors.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Hale
Every dropped kerb in Hale 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.
To use a vehicle crossing in Hale lawfully you need consent from Trafford Council. They weigh up visibility at the access, any street trees or lamp columns close by, gullies in the channel, grass verges and whether the road is classified. Parts of Hale are conservation areas, which can add questions. Some crossings are built by the council and others by accredited contractors with consent, so we check yours.

Local knowledge
Crossings and Kerbs on Ashley Road, Bankhall Lane and Hale Barns
Hale mixes Edwardian houses close to the station with larger detached homes along Bankhall Lane and out towards Hale Barns. Wide plots often mean adding a second access, or moving an existing one to suit new gates, and each change needs fresh consent for the crossing. Mature trees line many roads, and verges are common on the quieter lanes. Around Ashley Road and the village shops the pavements are busier, so safe sightlines and room for people on foot come first.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Hale
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Hale?
Hale dropped kerbs are priced on how many kerbs are lowered, the footway width and construction, any verge crossing and whether services or covers need adjusting. If the council charges an application or inspection fee, that is on top, and most Hale clients also want the driveway behind finished at the same time. Call 0161 841 7075 for a free survey.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Hale?
The application goes to Trafford Council. We explain what they generally need to see, help you get the plan and photos ready, and talk through issues such as trees or a second access that may need extra thought. The decision is theirs and nothing is guaranteed. When consent comes through, our team builds the driveway and gateway to match the approved crossing.
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.
