Hello again.
My problem this time is, how do you haunch a kerb edging adjoining a public pavement, as when you put the edging in place, the bit to haunch disappears as the edging is flush to the pavement. Is it a case of excavating a haunce-shaped hole under the pavement, filling it with concrete, pressing the edging up to it and crossing your fingers?
Many thanks,
Haunching kerb edging under public pavement

The answer is that you don't - never, ever interfere with a public footpath unless you are authorised by the Local Authority.
Rely on the bedding and a token haunch on t'other side of the edging to hold everything in place. Does that make sense?
It's less than ideal, I know, but it's better than being faced with a bill for x hundred quid while a gang of DLO lads sit outside your gaff all day, drinking tea and wasting an hour to repair a collapsed section of footpath!
