Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments means every frontage is different.

The result is a practical, durable solution that looks right for the street.
Our process is straightforward: site survey, specification, council paperwork, then installation and reinstatement to the required standard. We coordinate the permits and ensure compliance so you avoid failed inspections or remedial costs later. Work is typically completed in 1–2 days, with clear communication on what to expect and when. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and long-lasting results backed by warranty.

For dropped kerbs in Dartford Borough, most homeowners budget between £800 and £2,500 depending on crossover width, the number of kerbs to be lowered, and the amount of excavation and reinstatement needed. Typical projects fall around £1,200–£1,800. Costs can rise if the footway is wide, if additional drainage or strengthening is required, or if access restrictions increase labour time.
Most installations take 1–2 days on site once approvals are in place. Timing depends on the crossover size, the existing pavement construction, and whether the footway needs full-depth reinstatement. Weather can also affect curing times and finishing. If traffic management is required or access is tight (common on some Dartford streets), we may schedule work in stages to keep the area safe and compliant.
You usually need approval from the local highway authority for any pavement crossover, even if driveway works on your land are often permitted development. The key point is that the footway and kerbs are public highway, so they must be altered under the correct permissions and standards. We advise on the requirements, prepare the information needed for applications, and ensure the installation meets the relevant specifications and compliance checks.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for dropped kerb installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or poor reinstatement. It also covers defects arising from installation errors in the kerb line or crossover construction. Normal wear, accidental damage, or third-party works on the footway aren’t included, but we’ll always inspect and advise promptly if a problem is reported.
Options typically include standard concrete kerbs with a properly constructed crossover, plus matching edge restraints and reinstatement finishes to suit the existing footway. We can also advise on driveway interface details, such as the best threshold levels, crossover width for your vehicle, and whether additional strengthening is sensible. Where permitted, we help you choose a layout that improves manoeuvring while keeping the frontage neat and compliant.
