RTA Groundworks
Dropped Kerbs
Council-compliant dropped kerb installations for safe, legal vehicle access to your property.
A dropped kerb (or vehicle crossover) is essential if you want to legally drive over the pavement to access your driveway. RTA Groundworks handles the entire process — from the initial council application to the final concrete pour — ensuring your dropped kerb meets all local authority specifications in Kent and London. We work with highways-approved materials and methods to deliver a crossing that's safe, durable and fully compliant.

Installing a dropped kerb without council approval is illegal and can result in enforcement action.

With RTA Groundworks, you get a fully compliant, professionally installed vehicle crossing — and the peace of mind that comes with it.
Our Process
How We Work
01
Feasibility Check
We assess whether your property is eligible for a dropped kerb, checking visibility splays, existing parking restrictions and footway width.
02
Council Application
We help you submit the vehicle crossover application to your local highways authority and manage the approval process on your behalf.
03
Installation
Once approved, we excavate the footway, remove existing kerbs, and install the dropped crossing using highways-approved concrete and methods.
04
Reinstatement
We reinstate the footway to council standards, ensure proper drainage, and leave the area clean and safe.
