Dropped kerbs in Heaton Moor SK4
Dropped Kerb Contractors Heaton Moor
Heaton Moor's Victorian streets were laid out long before anyone owned a car, and on-street parking is often tight after work. We build dropped kerbs in Heaton Moor, Heaton Mersey and Heaton Chapel, and every dropped kerb installation we take on follows the vehicle crossing process at Stockport Council. Unlike dropped kerb contractors who stop at the pavement edge, we also lay the driveway behind, saving original walls and tiled paths wherever we can across SK4.
Our free site survey looks closely at the kerb and footway, but also at brick walls, gateposts and any original tiles near the boundary. Afterwards you receive a fixed written quote and are under no obligation. Everything is done by our own fully insured team, with no sub-contractors, from lowering the kerbs to building a driveway behind the crossing that suits a period house.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Heaton Moor
Every dropped kerb in Heaton Moor 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 agree before anyone drives over a Heaton Moor footway, and that agreement covers a proper vehicle crossing. Officers think about the view from the access, street trees, lamp columns, gullies and verges, along with classified roads and conservation status, which affects parts of Heaton Moor and Heaton Mersey. Some councils lay crossings themselves and others accept accredited contractors with consent, so we check for your road.

Local knowledge
Dropped Kerbs Off Shaw Road, Didsbury Road and in Heaton Chapel
Red-brick Victorian and Edwardian villas define much of Heaton Moor, many still with their original walls, gateposts and tiled paths. Opening up a boundary for a car means deciding what to keep, and in the conservation areas some changes may need permission of their own. Residential roads are lined with street trees, and kerbside spaces near the Heaton Moor Road shops fill quickly. Didsbury Road carries heavier traffic, so visibility counts there, while Heaton Chapel has more interwar semis with straightforward frontages.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Heaton Moor
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Heaton Moor?
No two Heaton Moor frontages are quite alike, so the price reflects the number of kerbs lowered, the width and build of the pavement, any verge, and the covers or services along the line. Rebuilding a wall end or gatepost can add work. Any council fees for applying or inspecting are separate, as is the drive. Ring 0161 841 7075 to arrange a free survey.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Heaton Moor?
Applications for Heaton Moor are handled by Stockport Council. If you live in a conservation area, it pays to ask early whether altering a wall needs separate consent. We explain what they normally look for, help you prepare plans and photos, and point out anything at the kerb likely to draw questions. The council has the final word. Once it agrees, we build the drive to suit.
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.
