London Dropped Kerbs
Trusted Dropped Kerb Installations in London
Off-street parking is one of the biggest headaches for London homeowners. A dropped kerb lowers the pavement edge so you can drive straight from the road onto your own driveway, legally and without damaging the footway, kerb, or your vehicle's underside.
Why London Homeowners Are Installing Dropped Kerbs
With parking restrictions, permit zones, and rising congestion charges across London, having guaranteed access to your own driveway is more valuable than ever. A dropped kerb also protects your property from becoming blocked by other vehicles.
