Dropped kerbs in Cheadle Hulme SK8
Dropped Kerb Contractors Cheadle Hulme
Busy school runs and station parking make off-road space valuable across Cheadle Hulme. We fit dropped kerbs in Cheadle Hulme for semis and detached homes from Ladybridge Road to Turves Road, and our dropped kerb installation follows the requirements of Stockport Council. Our dropped kerb contractors stay on once the kerb is down to build the driveway behind it, so the whole SK8 frontage is finished together.
Our free site survey looks at the pavement, any verge and the space behind the boundary. Afterwards you get a fixed written quote with no obligation. The work is done entirely by our own fully insured team rather than sub-contractors, and after the kerbs are lowered we lay the driveway behind the crossing, using materials from Brett, Tobermore and The Resin Mill, who have approved us.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Cheadle Hulme
Every dropped kerb in Cheadle Hulme 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 needs to consent before anyone drives across the footway to a Cheadle Hulme home. They look at how well you can see when leaving, plus any street tree, lamp column, gully or grass verge, and whether the road is classified or in a conservation area. Depending on the council, an accredited contractor may build the crossing with consent or the council may do it, and we check.

Local knowledge
Dropped Kerbs on Ladybridge Road, Turves Road and Grove Lane
Cheadle Hulme is mostly interwar and postwar family housing, with older Edwardian homes near the station. On many residential roads there are grass verges and mature trees, so the crossing often has to pass through grass as well as pavement. Ladybridge Road, Station Road and Grove Lane see heavier traffic and parked cars, which makes visibility a common question. Families wanting space for two cars often need a wider crossing, and that is something the council has to agree first.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Cheadle Hulme
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Cheadle Hulme?
Cheadle Hulme dropped kerbs are priced on the number of kerbs lowered, the footway width and build, any grass verge, and covers or services in the way. Widening a crossing for two cars adds more. Stockport Council application or inspection fees are separate, as is the drive behind. Call 0161 841 7075 to book a free survey.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Cheadle Hulme?
You make the application to Stockport Council. We explain what they tend to require, help you put together measurements and photos, and highlight anything at the verge or kerb that might need discussion. The council decides, and approval cannot be guaranteed. Once consent is given, we build your driveway to line up with the crossing they have agreed, whether it is single or double width.
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.
