I'm planning a double driveway, l will need about 3 kerb stones lowered. I expect someone has had experience of this on this site, so please let me know the details.
How much was it?
How long did it take them?
Can l get my builder to do it?
Can it be done free if there is a good case for it?

This can only be done by the local authority or by one of their noiminated contractors. You cannot get just anyone to do it.
The cost varies from place to place, as different local authorities make different admin charges, but the last time it came up on this discussion forum, I seem to recall it cost around 800 quid. Have a look at this thread in the Archive....

The kerb lowering is usually done in a day, and then they re-surface the fottpath, which may be doe on the same day, or they may make you wait a while, depending on what mood they're in.
The only time I've ever known a dropped crossing be installed foc was when the road was being reconstructured anyway, and it costs the council no more to install a crossing than to use a 'full size' kerb.
