Dropped Kerb Installation in Fife, Kirkcaldy, St Andrews & Dunfermline
A dropped kerb is essential for anyone looking to create legal and convenient access to their driveway. Without one, driving over a pavement can lead to fines, damage to your vehicle, and potential liabilities for any damage caused to the footpath. At Matthew Groundworks, we provide professional dropped kerb installations across Fife, Kirkcaldy, St Andrews, Dunfermline, and surrounding areas, ensuring compliance with local council regulations and a seamless transition from road to driveway.
With nearly 20 years of experience in groundworks, we have the expertise to install dropped kerbs for both residential and commercial properties. Our team ensures each installation is done to the highest standard, using durable materials that blend smoothly with the existing pavement and road surface. Whether you need a dropped kerb for a new driveway or as part of a commercial development, we can help with a professional and efficient service.
Why a Dropped Kerb is Necessary
If you plan to drive over a pavement onto your property, you are legally required to have a properly installed dropped kerb. Councils enforce this rule to prevent damage to public footpaths and to maintain safety for pedestrians. If a vehicle crosses a raised kerb regularly, the pavement can crack, leading to costly repairs that the property owner may be held responsible for.
Beyond the legal aspect, a dropped kerb makes entering and exiting your driveway far smoother, reducing wear and tear on your vehicle. It also improves the overall appearance of the property, making it look more polished and well-integrated with the surrounding road.
Our Installation Process
At Matthew Groundworks, we manage the entire dropped kerb installation process, from initial site assessment to final completion. The first step is to determine whether a dropped kerb is feasible at your property and whether local council approval is required. Some councils require an application before work can begin, and we can assist with gathering the necessary details for submission.
Once approved, our team begins by carefully removing the existing kerb stones and preparing the ground for installation. The area is excavated to the correct depth, ensuring a strong foundation that will support regular vehicle use without risk of sinking or deterioration over time. The new lowered kerb is then installed, and the surrounding area is resurfaced with either tarmac or concrete to match the existing road and pavement. Finally, we carry out a full inspection to ensure the installation meets local council specifications and is finished to a high standard.
