Kerb Repair and Realignment

Repairing Damaged and Sunken Kerbs

Kerbs are exposed to continuous wear, weather, and vehicle impact. Over time, they may crack, break, or sink — creating trip hazards, drainage issues, and visual deterioration. United Civils provides fast, effective kerb repair services using like-for-like replacements or stronger alternatives.

Common issues we repair include:

• Cracked or broken kerb units

• Sunken kerbs affecting surface levels

• Dislodged or loose kerb stones

• Vehicle damage to driveways or crossings

• Deterioration from poor original installation

We assess each site and carry out the appropriate repair method — from simple replacements to full relaying with reinforced bedding and haunching.

Kerb Realignment and Adjustment

Kerb realignment is often required where layouts change, levels shift, or drainage performance declines. We re-set kerbs to correct heights, adjust falls, or modify access points, working to engineering drawings or site-specific instructions.

Realignment services include:

• Repositioning kerb lines for new entrances or layouts

• Adjusting levels for surfacing works or drainage upgrades

• Modifying radii or intersections

• Removing overgrown vegetation or roots affecting alignment

• Resetting tactile paving and dropped crossings

This service is commonly used during site redevelopments, roadworks, estate upgrades, or paving replacement projects.

Safe Working with Minimal Disruption

Repairs are often carried out in live environments — such as school entrances, retail car parks, and housing developments. Our teams are trained to work quickly, safely, and with minimal disruption to the public or traffic.

We provide:

• RAMS and traffic management where needed

• Temporary barriers and signage

• Clean reinstatement of adjacent surfaces

• Efficient turnaround for small-scale or reactive works

Whether it’s one damaged kerb or a full length of realignment, we deliver consistently high workmanship with minimal site impact.

Qualified Operatives and Local Authority Standards

All works are carried out by fully trained groundworkers:

• CSCS-certified operatives

• Street Works (NRSWA) certified for highway environments

• Experienced in highway specs and kerb detail drawings

• SSSTS/SMSTS supervised teams

We work to Highways England and local authority specifications, ensuring all repairs are compliant and long-lasting.
