What does an edging or kerb job involve?
The edge can be a kerb, a row of blocks laid as a soldier course, or a block on its side, but in every case it should be bedded and haunched in concrete. We also re-set failed edging on older drives, which often stops further spreading without re-laying the whole area.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland go through DfI Roads, so we build that timing into the plan for new drives.
- Steps and risers in block or kerb units
- Re-setting loose or missing edging on existing paving
- Concrete haunching behind the edge
- New kerbs or soldier courses bedded on concrete
- Raised edges to beds and lawns
What the survey covers
- Who must approve the work and how long that takes
- Levels of the pavement, kerb and drive
- Ground conditions for any soakaway
- Load ratings needed for covers and gratings
- Buried services near the crossing or channel
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.
