What is included?
We do not take money for kerb work we cannot legally do. What we do is check whether your property is likely to qualify, help you with the application, coordinate the timing with your new drive, and either price the crossover where the authority allows private contractors or work alongside the authority's own contractor where it does not.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.
- Drive levels set to meet the new kerb line
- Crossover construction where the authority permits our contractor
- Eligibility check: visibility, trees, street furniture, frontage depth
- Help with the highway authority application and drawings
- Coordination so the drive and crossover are finished together
What the survey covers
- Load ratings needed for covers and gratings
- Ground conditions for any soakaway
- Who must approve the work and how long that takes
- Where water collects now and where it can go
- Levels of the pavement, kerb and drive
Rules for front drives in County Tyrone
In Northern Ireland, a hard surface between the front of the house and the road that covers or replaces more than 5 m² must be porous or permeable, or drain to a permeable area within the property, to be permitted development.
Hard surfaces within the grounds of a listed building need listed building consent. Planning is handled by your district council, so check with its planning office if you are unsure.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland are approved by DfI Roads (the Department for Infrastructure), not the council; check planning separately with the council.
General guidance, not legal advice. Your survey confirms what applies to your home. See the planning guide.
