If you're looking to install a drop kerb in Staffordshire & Cheshire, it's important to use an approved contractor who can carry out the work properly and in line with local authority regulations. At ArcLine Roofing & Building, part of ArcLine Group, we handle the complete drop kerb installation process — from council application to finished crossing.
Installing a drop kerb isn't just about lowering the pavement — it needs to be done to the correct standard to avoid issues with the council or future problems with access. We handle the full process including the Section 184 application, utility checks, excavation, kerb installation and pavement reinstatement — all done to the required standard.
We'll guide you through what's required and make sure everything is done properly from start to finish. The process begins with an initial site visit to your Staffordshire & Cheshire property where we assess the pavement, existing kerb, underground utilities, drainage and any other factors that could affect the installation.
Our drop kerb installations in Staffordshire & Cheshire are built to the correct specification to withstand regular vehicle use for decades. We excavate the existing pavement, install new kerb stones at the correct gradient, lay a proper compacted sub-base and reinstate the pavement surface to match the surrounding area — all to local authority standards.
The council application process can seem daunting, but we handle it for you. We prepare the necessary paperwork, submit the Section 184 application and liaise with the local authority throughout the approval process. Most applications in Staffordshire & Cheshire take 4–8 weeks for approval, and the physical installation is typically completed in 1–2 days.
Many homeowners in Staffordshire & Cheshire combine their drop kerb installation with a new driveway — and because we handle both through our groundworks division, you benefit from coordinated work, reduced costs and a single point of contact for the whole project.
There are a few situations where a drop kerb application may be refused — for example, if there's a tree in the pavement, a lamp post in the way, or the property is on a classified road. We'll identify any potential issues during our initial site visit and advise you honestly before you spend money on the application.
Once the drop kerb is installed, you'll have legal, permanent vehicle access to your property. This eliminates the risk of driving over a full-height kerb (which can damage your vehicle and is technically illegal in most areas) and adds convenience and value to your home.
Utility checks are an important part of the process. Before any excavation begins, we check for underground services including gas, water, electric and telecoms. If any services cross the proposed crossing point, we coordinate with the relevant utility companies to ensure safe working.
We carry out drop kerb installations across Staffordshire & Cheshire and nearby areas including Stafford, Stoke-on-Trent, Congleton, Stone. ArcLine Group brings together specialist divisions in roofing, groundworks and building — so whatever your property needs, we can help.
