We work with private residential customers, commercial companies, and local authorities.
We can install your dropped kerb and tarmac the path, and if needed, we can also complete a new driveway as part of the same job. If you’re unsure about planning permission, just ask—we can help guide you through the process.
Do I need to drop my kerb?
If you want to create off-street parking for your car, you’re legally required to have a dropped kerb, because driving over a standard kerb to access your driveway is an offence under the Highways Act 1980.
The pavement outside your property is public highway, so before any work can start, you’ll need permission from your local council to lower it.
If all of that sounds like a headache, don’t worry! Our team at South Coast Driveways and Roofing Ltd will help you. Our experienced, council-approved contractors will advise you on whether the kerb you want to lower requires council permission and guide you through the application process.
All our staff are fully trained in accordance with the Highways Regulations, and we hold up-to-date Public Liability Insurance of £5 million for your peace of mind.
