Cost

The cost of the works depends on how many kerbs need to be adjusted and how wide and long the crossing needs to be to protect all the footway.  We have developed a table which has typical crossing and pavement widths to give an accurate indication on the cost of undertaking the works.

There will be additional costs if we need to move a street lighting column. We will help you find out the local electricity company's costs for disconnecting and reconnecting the power supply as well as our own costs for moving the column. We will also need more discussions with you over programming and costs if there is a highway tree in the way, or any other unusual feature.

Costs may vary for different addresses in the same road depending on site-specific factor for each address.

You need to provide full payment in advance. If, after completion of the vehicle crossing, you feel that the job has not been done properly please contact us and we will put matters right as quickly as possible.
