Dropped kerbs in Bramhall SK7
Dropped Kerb Contractors Bramhall
Wide frontages are common across SK7, but a full-height kerb can still keep a Bramhall car on the road. We put in dropped kerbs in Bramhall, from the homes near Bramall Hall to the newer streets towards Woodford, and our dropped kerb installation is planned around Stockport Council requirements. As dropped kerb contractors who also lay driveways, we finish the crossing and the parking area together, with one team on site.
Every job begins with a free site survey of the kerb, footway and garden. We then give you a fixed written quote, with no obligation. Our own insured team handles everything without sub-contractors, lowering the kerbs and then laying the driveway behind the crossing in block paving, resin or tarmac, chosen to suit the house and the trees around it.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Bramhall
Every dropped kerb in Bramhall 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.
A vehicle crossing over a Bramhall pavement needs consent from Stockport Council. They consider visibility, street trees, lamp columns, gullies and any grass verge, as well as whether your road is a classified A or B route and if it lies in a conservation area. Some councils build the crossing and some let an accredited contractor do it with consent, and we confirm which applies to you.

Local knowledge
Dropped Kerbs Along Bramhall Lane South, Ack Lane and Woodford Road
Bramhall homes from the 1930s and 1960s usually sit on generous plots, and many streets have grass verges and trees between the footway and the road. Bramhall Lane South and Woodford Road are busy routes, so visibility and traffic are weighed carefully for any new access. Around the village centre and Ack Lane, parking demand is high. Some homeowners want a second access or a wider crossing, and each change needs the agreement of the council before work starts.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Bramhall
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Bramhall?
In Bramhall, the price of a dropped kerb depends on how many kerbs are lowered, the width and construction of the footway, any verge crossing and utilities or covers along the line. Stockport Council may charge separate application or inspection fees, and the new driveway behind is priced too. Call 0161 841 7075 to book a free survey.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Bramhall?
Applications are made to Stockport Council. We explain what they usually want, help you prepare drawings and photos, and point out anything such as a tree or lamp column that could affect the decision. The outcome is the council's to decide, not ours. Once approved, we lay out your new driveway so it meets the crossing neatly and keeps as much of the garden as you want.
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.
