Dropped kerbs
Ensure 24-hour access to your property
Important update - due to the unprecedented levels of enquiries and subsequent bookings for dropped kerb installations we are now fully booked. We are unable to undertake any more quotations or work until further notice, hopefully our bookings will reopen later in the year. If you do not want to wait for the Council to do the work you can use other reputable contractors.
A dropped kerb is a great way of ensuring 24-hour access to your property for vehicles, as it prevents other road users from blocking the entrance. Keeping a car off-road can reduce insurance premiums. It also helps ease congestion on local roads.
We can install dropped kerbs and paint ‘H bar’ access markings on the road for both residents and businesses in Eastleigh Borough.
Hampshire County Council is the highways authority and you will need to make an application to them for a dropped kerb and we will then obtain the required Section 171 licence to excavate the highway, as well as carry out the work at very competitive rates. Our team has wide experience of installing dropped kerbs across the Borough and we provide a fast, high quality service with no hidden extra costs.
H-bar access markings indicate the part of the roadway that should be kept clear of waiting vehicles to allow access to off-street premises or a private drive. The markings also indicate a convenient crossing place for pedestrians. In Eastleigh Borough, we issue a Penalty Charge Notice to vehicles found parking across a dropped kerb.
