Who builds dropped kerbs in Slough?

All vehicle crossovers are built by Slough Borough Council's approved contractor. The council provides the estimate and must receive payment before work.

You don't need to find a contractor for the crossing. Slough builds dropped kerbs itself, so apply to the council and pay its quote. Use our printable checklist and timeline to get your application right first time. You can still choose your own builder for the driveway.
