What Nottingham says about us
“Fantastic service from start to finish. The quote was very competitive and the team did an amazing job on our driveway — professional, hardworking and great attention to detail.”
“Dave kept in regular contact throughout, and the guys who came to drop the kerb did so in a professional and swift manner. Excellent job done at our place.”
“Dave explained the full process and dealt with all the permits and the council. We only paid a small amount up front for the permits, then paid for the work once completed.”
“Dave sorted out all planning and licence applications on my behalf. Job completed within a few weeks of my enquiry. Very happy with the quality and speed. Highly recommended.”
“Excellent work at a very reasonable price. Everything is done for you — permits, advice, the lot. You pay on completion, and they email first to check you’re happy. Highly recommend.”
“Sorted out the application to Nottinghamshire County Council and offered a cheaper price than the council’s own contractors. Work completed to a high standard by friendly contractors.”
“Quoted a ridiculous price by the council, so got in touch with these guys — a fair price and I’m chuffed with the work. Would definitely use them again.”
“Dave keeps in touch throughout, organising the licences and permits. No outlay until we’d seen the final work. The lads worked hard and had it completed in 2 days.”
“Everyone on the street is saying how nice the houses look. The shared drive looks great and the price was very competitive. Others now want the same done.”
“Great job lowering the kerbs and building the driveway — efficient, on time, and with great attention to detail. The final result exceeded my expectations.”
“The only company I had confidence in, and the price was competitive. They deal directly with the Local Authority and complete all the paperwork. Highly recommend.”
“Very good service and quality of work. Quick and responsive, friendly and polite, and did a great job with the front driveway. Would definitely consider again.”
“Our new resin drive and paths are wonderful. Dean and his team worked through the hottest weather but still did a great job without cutting corners. The price was sensible and substantially lower than another quotation.”
“Very quick in responding and getting everything sorted out. A very high and professional finish at a very fair price — would recommend to anyone looking at getting a dropped kerb.”
“What a delightful company to deal with, from the moment I phoned to the end result. Really lovely chaps came to do the job and persisted until it was completed to their satisfaction and to ours.”
“They took care of all the permit and approval paperwork with the local authority, removed the old kerbs and paving, fitted new dropped kerbs and perfectly re-laid the paving. Everything left clean and tidy.”
“The quote was really competitive compared with the Council and the works were completed very quickly. Dave was really helpful and the job was approved quickly. Contractors were polite and hardworking.”
“From first contact Dave explained everything clearly and was always very responsive to questions. The workmen were professional and polite. Very pleased with the end result.”
“Lovely team of two carried out the job with no problem at all. Quick and efficient. 100% recommended.”
“Pleased with the dropped kerb and new pavement tarmac. Dave was very helpful throughout and the contractors worked hard to complete the job. I can thoroughly recommend the company.”

How much does a dropped kerb cost in Nottingham?
A new dropped kerb starts from £1,150, which covers the minimum 5-kerb opening (3 flat + 2 tapered kerbs); each additional kerb is £200. Widening an existing kerb costs less. We give free, no-obligation quotes.
Do I need planning permission for a dropped kerb?
For most driveways you need approval from the local highway authority (a Section 184 application), not full planning permission. Planning permission is only needed if the access is onto a classified road or serves two or more dwellings. We check this and handle the application for you.
How long does it take?
Once the council has approved the works, the installation itself usually takes about a day, or two half-days. The approval stage beforehand varies — and we manage that whole process for you.
Do you handle the council application?
Yes. In Nottingham City we manage the entire Section 184 application. In Nottinghamshire, the county’s contractor (Via East Midlands) contacts you for a small fee and a few questions — and we guide you through it.
Are you a council-approved contractor?
Yes — we’re registered and approved with both Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council, and all works are carried out by SWQR-registered, NRSWA-qualified, fully insured installers to full highway specification.
