Dropped kerbs in Bredbury SK6
Dropped Kerb Contractors Bredbury
Vans, second cars and busy through roads all strengthen the case for dropped kerbs in Bredbury. We provide dropped kerb installation across SK6, from George Lane to Bredbury Green and on towards Woodley, following the vehicle crossing process run by Stockport Council. Our dropped kerb contractors build the crossing to take daily use, then lay a driveway behind it that can cope with a working van.
First comes a free site survey, where we look at the kerb, the footway and the space where you want to park, along with the vehicles you run. A fixed written quote follows with no obligation. Our own insured team, never sub-contractors, takes on the whole job, lowering the kerbs and laying the driveway behind the crossing on a base built for the load.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Bredbury
Every dropped kerb in Bredbury 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.
Driving over a Bredbury footway is only allowed once Stockport Council has consented to a vehicle crossing. Their officers check sightlines, lamp columns, gullies, street trees and grass verges, and note whether the road is classified or inside a conservation area. If a van will use it, a stronger construction may be asked for. Who builds the crossing varies between councils, and we confirm the position for your road.

Local knowledge
Dropped Kerbs on George Lane, Stockport Road West and in Woodley
Bredbury is largely interwar and postwar housing, with semis and terraces near Bredbury Green and newer estates spreading towards Woodley. Plenty of homes have a single-width drive or none at all, while many families now run two vehicles, often including a van for work. Stockport Road West carries heavy traffic, including lorries heading for the industrial estates, so visibility at a new access is weighed carefully. Estates off George Lane often have grass verges and street trees between the footway and the road.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Bredbury
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Bredbury?
Expect a Bredbury quote to reflect how many kerbs come down, the width and make-up of the footway, any grass verge, and covers or services that need adjusting. If a van will cross it, a heavier build may be needed. Council fees for application or inspection are separate, and the drive behind is priced on its own. Call 0161 841 7075 and we will survey for free.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Bredbury?
Stockport Council handles applications for Bredbury. We explain what they usually want to see, help you get measurements and photos together, and highlight anything such as a verge, gully or lamp column that could affect their answer. They make the decision, so approval can never be guaranteed. Once you have it, our team builds your driveway to line up with the crossing and carry the vehicles you use.
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.
