Dropped kerbs in Cheadle SK8
Dropped Kerb Contractors Cheadle
Cheadle has plenty of 1930s semis with front gardens big enough for a car but no crossing to reach them. We install dropped kerbs in Cheadle and Gatley across SK8, and our dropped kerb installation follows the approach Stockport Council takes to vehicle crossings. Compared with dropped kerb contractors who only lower the kerb, we take the job further and lay the new driveway as well, keeping front walls where you want them.
A free site survey comes first, so we can check the footway, the kerb line and the garden behind. Then we give you a fixed written quote with no obligation. The whole project is carried out by our own insured team, with no sub-contractors, from setting the lowered kerbs to laying the driveway behind the crossing to suit your house and budget.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Cheadle
Every dropped kerb in Cheadle 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.
To drive over the pavement in Cheadle legally, you need Stockport Council to consent to a vehicle crossing. Their assessment covers visibility at the access, lamp columns, gullies, street trees, grass verges, classified A or B roads and conservation areas. Some councils carry out the work themselves, while others allow an accredited contractor to build it with consent, so we check which applies on your road.

Local knowledge
Kerb Crossings Off Councillor Lane, Schools Hill and in Gatley
Cheadle village grew along the High Street and Stockport Road, with interwar semis and detached houses spreading out towards Gatley and Heald Green. Roads such as Councillor Lane and Schools Hill carry steady traffic, so visibility at any new access is checked carefully. Many quieter avenues have grass verges and established trees beside the footway. Near the old village centre there is a conservation area, where boundary walls and gateways need more thought before anything is taken down.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Cheadle
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Cheadle?
A dropped kerb in Cheadle is priced on how many kerbs are lowered, the width and make-up of the footway, any verge, and services or covers near the line. Application or inspection fees from Stockport Council are on top, and most homeowners also want the front garden turned into a driveway. Call 0161 841 7075 to book a free survey.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Cheadle?
Applications go to Stockport Council. We explain what they normally need, help you prepare the plan and photos, and point out anything such as a tree or gully that might come up during their assessment. Whether to approve is for the council to decide, and we never suggest otherwise. Once they agree, our team lays the driveway so it lines up with the crossing and suits the house.
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.
