    Our builders should have put in an extra dropped kerb (the council said it was okay to do so) but as we were only going to be putting one car in there anyway it was no big deal, so we never said anything to the builder about it. We now have 2 cars to put in the drive and where it would have been nice to have the extra dropped kerb we can manage just fine. Just watch at what angle you take your car in and you miss the raised kerb completely.

    Ooer ! Lots of conflicting information !

    Thanks ceebee - that was what I kind of had in mind as a figure in adjusting the single kerb and corner piece. Would have expected it to be £250 max...which county are you in may I ask? Please send me a personal message if you dont mind answering but not directly on here!

    Any others out there with any info please !? Going to give them a call soon to negotiate !
