Commercial and Highway Kerb Installation

Full-Scope Kerbing for Roads and Commercial Developments

Kerbing is an essential part of infrastructure — managing surface levels, defining road edges, and directing drainage. United Civils installs all major kerb types as part of new builds, upgrades, and highways schemes.

We regularly install:

• HB2 kerbs – standard half-battered highway kerbs

• BN kerbs – bullnose for junctions, entrances, and car parks

• High containment kerbs – Trief and Titan systems for traffic control

• Kerb race installations – for carriageways, roundabouts, and splitter islands

• Radius and quadrant kerbs – for internal corners and curves

• Channel blocks and edgings – for drainage, footpaths, and hardscape edges

All kerbing is laid on properly prepared bedding and haunched in compliance with local authority detail sheets and the Highways England Specification for Highway Works.

Applications Across Commercial and Infrastructure Sites

Our kerbing services are suitable for a wide range of heavy-use and high-traffic environments, including:

• Estate roads and access routes

• Supermarket and retail car parks

• Industrial and logistics yards

• Junctions, laybys, and site entrances

• Bus stops, crossings, and pedestrian build-outs

We work directly from civil engineering drawings, setting out lines and levels using total stations or string lines as required. All works are checked by supervisors before handover.

Heavy-Duty Finishes for Long-Term Use

In commercial and highway settings, durability is key. We ensure:

• Correct sub-base depth and compaction

• High-strength bedding mortar (or concrete)

• Proper haunching to resist movement

• Levelled finish to accommodate surfacing or drainage flow

• Expansion joints where required

• Reinstatement of tarmac or block surfaces

Where kerbs are subject to HGV traffic or turning vehicles, we offer reinforced backing or reinforced haunching for long-term integrity.

Integrated External Works and Civil Packages

Kerb installation is often one part of a larger project. United Civils frequently installs kerbing as part of:

• Road and car park build-ups

• Drainage and gully connections

• Tactile paving and dropped crossings

• Footpath construction

• Entrance reconfigurations and access control

This integrated approach reduces handovers, saves time, and ensures consistency in quality and finish across the job.

Qualified Teams and Traffic Management

All kerbing works are delivered by fully trained operatives:

• CSCS-qualified groundworkers

• Street Works (NRSWA) certified where on public highways

• CPCS or NPORS-trained plant operators

• SSSTS/SMSTS site supervisors

Where kerbing is carried out in live roads or footpaths, we provide full traffic management — from stop/go boards to lane closures — in compliance with Chapter 8 and local authority requirements.
