Dropped kerbs in Stretford M32
Dropped Kerb Contractors Stretford
Ask anyone in M32 about parking and match days at Old Trafford soon come up. We fit dropped kerbs in Stretford so you can get off the street and onto your own frontage, from the terraces near Chester Road to the semis by Longford Park. Our dropped kerb installation follows the process set by Trafford Council. Unlike dropped kerb contractors who only lower the kerb, we build the driveway too.
We survey for free and look at the whole frontage, including walls, bins, meters and the slope back to the house. A fixed written quote follows, with no obligation. Everything is done by our own insured team, with no sub-contractors, from cutting out the old kerbs to laying the driveway behind the crossing in block paving, resin or tarmac to suit a terrace or semi.

Council consent
Dropped Kerb Planning Permission in Stretford
Every dropped kerb in Stretford needs consent from Trafford Council before anyone drives over the pavement. Planning permission is a separate question, usually only needed for a classified road or a listed building.
Trafford Council has to agree before you drive across a Stretford pavement to reach your frontage. They look at visibility for traffic and pedestrians, nearby lamp columns and street trees, gullies, verges and whether your road is a classified A or B route such as Chester Road. Some councils build the crossing themselves and some allow accredited contractors with consent, and we find out which applies to you.

Local knowledge
Dropped Kerbs Near Chester Road, Barton Road and Old Trafford
Parking pressure in Stretford peaks on Old Trafford match days, when football and cricket crowds fill streets well beyond the grounds and residents can come home to find no space at all. Most houses here were built before cars, with small front gardens behind full-height kerbs, so a crossing is the only way to park off the road. Along Chester Road and Barton Road, traffic and bus stops make visibility checks important, while side streets around Gorse Hill are tighter still.

FAQs
FAQs: Dropped Kerbs Stretford
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else, just call.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Stretford?
What you pay for a Stretford dropped kerb depends on the number of kerbs lowered, the footway width and construction, any verge, and covers or utilities that need adjusting. Council application or inspection fees come on top, and most households here also need the front garden turned into a driveway. Call 0161 841 7075 to arrange a free survey of your frontage.
How do I apply for a dropped kerb in Stretford?
Apply to Trafford Council for a vehicle crossing. We explain the details they normally ask for, help you put the application together and look out for anything, such as a lamp column or bus stop, that could complicate it. We cannot promise the council will say yes. If they do, we plan the new drive so it sits squarely behind the approved crossing.
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. Trafford 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.
