Drop Kerb Installation in Nottingham
CP Driveways carries out drop kerb installation throughout Nottingham and the surrounding NG11 area. A dropped kerb is a legal requirement before you can drive across the pavement to reach your driveway. Without one, you risk fines and have no right to use the pavement crossing. We manage the process from council application to completed installation, taking the hassle out of the whole thing so you can focus on the driveway itself.
More Information
Do You Need a Dropped Kerb?
If you want to park a vehicle on your front garden or driveway and there is a kerb between your property and the road, you need a dropped kerb. Driving over an unmodified kerb is illegal and can damage your vehicle and the pavement. Many people in Nottingham are surprised to learn that even if they have been doing it for years without a drop kerb, it is still technically an offence. Getting one installed properly is straightforward with the right team behind you.
The Application Process
Before a drop kerb can be installed, you need permission from Nottingham City Council or the relevant local authority. The process involves submitting an application with a location plan and relevant details. Approval is usually straightforward for standard residential properties. We can assist with the application process and work directly with the highway authority to make sure everything is done correctly before we pick up a shovel.
The Installation
Once permission is granted, the physical installation is relatively quick. We excavate the existing kerb and footway, install the dropped kerb units to the correct height and gradient, and make good the surrounding area. We work to highway authority standards throughout. The result is a clean, legal crossing point that connects your driveway to the road. We combine drop kerb installation with new driveway work wherever possible to minimise disruption.
ABOUT US
A recent drop kerb job in Beeston involved helping a homeowner who had been parking on their front garden without a dropped kerb for years and wanted to regularise the situation and install a proper driveway at the same time. We handled the application, installed the drop kerb and then laid a block paving driveway in one project. The homeowner went from a muddy patch of grass to a legal, smart and functional parking space within a week.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a dropped kerb in Nottingham?
The council application process in Nottingham typically takes several weeks to get approved. Once approval is granted, the physical installation of the drop kerb itself is usually completed in a day. We will give you a clear timeline when you contact us about your project.
How much does a dropped kerb cost in Nottingham?
Drop kerb installation costs in Nottingham depend on the width of the crossing, the type of footway material and any additional works needed. Council fees are paid separately as part of the application. CP Driveways provides free quotes on the installation work. Call 07400203588 for more information.
Can I install a dropped kerb myself in Nottingham?
No. Dropped kerbs on public footways must be installed by contractors approved by the local highway authority. It is illegal to modify a kerb on the public highway without permission and using an unapproved contractor. CP Driveways works to the correct standards and can manage the whole process for you.
