Dropped kerbs in Timperley WA15
Dropped Kerb Contractors Timperley
If your car lives on the road outside, dropped kerbs in Timperley can change that for good. We carry out dropped kerb installation in Timperley on everything from interwar semis along Heyes Lane to bungalows near Thorley Lane, all within WA15. Trafford Council decides whether a crossing can go in, and we explain what they look at. As dropped kerb contractors who also lay driveways, we finish the whole frontage rather than just the pavement edge.
We begin with a free, unhurried survey of your frontage and the pavement outside. After that comes a fixed written quote, with no pressure and no obligation. Work is carried out by our own insured team rather than sub-contractors, and once the kerbs are lowered we lay the driveway behind the crossing in block paving, resin or tarmac to suit the house and the street.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Timperley
Every dropped kerb in Timperley 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.
Any vehicle crossing over a Timperley pavement needs Trafford Council to agree to it first. They consider the view along the road, street trees, lamp columns, gullies, grass verges and whether your road is a classified A or B route. Conservation status can matter as well. Depending on the council, the crossing is built by them or by an accredited contractor with consent, and we confirm which applies.

Local knowledge
Kerb Crossings for Heyes Lane, Wood Lane and Timperley Village
Timperley streets were mostly laid out between the wars, when few households owned a car. Many semis still have a full-height kerb outside and a front garden that would happily take a car if access allowed. Busier routes such as Stockport Road bring more traffic to think about when pulling out, while quieter roads near Timperley Brook may have verges or trees to work around. Homes close to the Timperley Metrolink stop also see commuter parking, which makes space on your own frontage worth having.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Timperley
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Timperley?
The cost of a Timperley dropped kerb comes down to how many kerb units are lowered, the width of the footway and what it is built from, whether a verge has to be crossed, and any covers or cables underneath. Council fees for applying or inspecting are separate, and so is the driveway behind it. Phone 0161 841 7075 to book your free survey.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Timperley?
Start with Trafford Council, which takes the application and decides whether to approve it. We talk you through the information they tend to request, help you gather measurements and photos, and flag any lamp column or tree that could affect the decision. We cannot guarantee approval, but once you have it we line up the new driveway with the crossing they agree.
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.
