Before you apply for a dropped kerb, you will need to check your deeds to make sure you are allowed to park a vehicle on your property. If you rent, you need to get written permission from your landlord.

Fees

The initial application and site inspection fee is £130.

We cannot refund your application fee if:

• your application is refused
• you decide to use your own accredited contractor
• you decide not to go ahead with the works, or your quote expires - quotes are valid for 6 months from the date we approve the application

How to apply

You can apply for a quote for a dropped kerb online.

Getting a quote

After you apply, we will visit your property to decide if you're able to have a dropped kerb installed and provide a quote. If you accept the quote works can be scheduled in, this is usually within 4 weeks of payment being received.

Each application is priced individually based on the size of the dropped kerb and width of the footway that needs to be resurfaced. Therefore, we can only provide a guide price of £2,000 for a standard sized crossover of 3 dropped kerbs and 2 tapers.

The quote you receive will be specific to your property and may include additional costs. For example, installation works may require traffic management, adjusting inspection covers, stop cock covers or replacing grass with tarmac.

If you decide to arrange your own contractor to carry out the work, they need to be a street works accredited contractor. They will need to apply for a S171 licence to work on the highway.
