Problems encountered with dropped kerbs
The dropped kerb projects are facilitated to enhance accessibility but they also have challenges and issues that need to be carefully considered. One area of concern is structural engineering which not only assists in the resolution of the issues but also manages the requirements as contained within the building regulations. One of the common problems is the interaction with existing system components which are underground, such as pipes and cables. SDropped kerbs may necessitate excavation or relocation of these utilities, leading to potential disruptions and additional costs. In addition, when designing the kerb, initial pavement thickness and the possibility of future settlement or cracking of the pavement have to be considered. Building codes sometimes set out the basic and minimum requirements that have to be observed by designers in kerb design and construction. TFailure to adhere to these regulations can result in project delays, costly revisions, and even legal consequences.

To apply for a dropped kerb at Paramount Built, you can simply schedule an appointment with our experts.
The cost of dropping a kerb in the UK varies depending on the council and the project’s specific circumstances. However, you can expect to pay between £1,000 and £1200 for a standard dropped kerb.
The rules on dropped kerb design vary by local authority but generally require a permit and may involve size, location, and material restrictions.
An illegal dropped kerb is a driveway or footpath that has been lowered without the necessary permissions from the local council. This is often done to allow vehicles to access private property more quickly, but it can be dangerous for pedestrians and other road users.
The standard dropped kerb width in the UK is typically 2.4 metres (8 feet). This allows sufficient space for pedestrians to cross the road safely.
The approval for a dropped kerb is typically obtained from the local council’s planning department. You will need to submit an application detailing the proposed kerb and providing evidence that it is necessary for access to a property or other safety reasons.
