Our 6-Step Dropped Kerb Installation Process
To ensure our customers are fully informed about each stage of their tar & chip driveway installation in Essex, we follow a straightforward six-step process.
Site Survey and Consultation
We visit your property to assess the location, measure the required access width, and discuss your specific needs. Our team examines drainage, utility locations, and any potential obstacles, providing expert advice on the best approach for your situation.
Planning Application Management
We prepare and submit all necessary applications to your local council on your behalf. This includes detailed drawings, specifications, and supporting documentation. We monitor the application progress and respond promptly to any council queries.
Utility and Drainage Checks
Before any excavation begins, we conduct thorough checks for underground utilities and drainage systems. This critical safety step prevents damage to services and ensures we can incorporate proper drainage into the new access point.
Kerb Removal and Excavation
Once approvals are in place, we carefully remove the existing kerb stones and excavate the area to the correct depth. We take care to protect surrounding footpath areas and minimise disruption to pedestrians and neighbours.
Base Preparation and Dropped Kerb Installation
A solid base is constructed using compacted hardcore and appropriate sub-base materials. We then install new dropped kerb stones at the correct gradient, ensuring smooth vehicle access whilst maintaining safe pedestrian crossing points.
Footpath Reinstatement and Inspection
The surrounding footpath is professionally reinstated to match existing surfaces and meet highway standards. We ensure all levels are correct, drainage functions properly, and the finished work meets council specifications before final inspection.
