The road outside my house is block paved instead of tarmac. The existing kerb, droppers and crossers are all of a kind i can't find anywhere. I have asked all the local suppliers and diy stores but no-one knows where i can get my hands on them so they match the other driveways.
Is there a way of uploading a photo onto this site for people to look at them and maybe give some ideas on wher i may source them from?

Assuming your road is adopted, you could contact your local authority and ask to speak to the Highways Clerk of Works. He shoulsd be able to tell you the name of the manufacturer of the kerbs as they will have been approved by them. The tapered kerbs are usually called "Transitions "and the dropped ones "Centres". Also check that you are permitted to carry out this work as many Local authoritys will only allow "approved Contractors" to do this work.
