For what it's worth I applied recently for a dropped curb to be
installed at the front of my house in a small cul-de-sac and despite
the horror stories associated with only one contractor being approved
to do the work the estimate came in at £650 which I didn't think was
*too* bad. Sure it could have been cheaper but from all the stories I
was expecting a lot more.
We shall see though what happens when they actually come to do the
work.


That sounds good to me. ISTR that I paid about £400 for the same thing 25
years ago! At that time, I got several quotes - but the cheapest was a
newly-privatised bit of the local council.


Before you start see if you can find out from the council when they next
intend to resurface your footpath. I got them to drop my kerb while
resurfacing and they charged me a nominal £50 which I was quite pleased
with.
