Streetscape Guidance<br />

Kerb construction<br />

Kerbs should be:<br />

• Dry jointed and closely butted where possible<br />

• Sawn on the rear face to avoid the need for<br />

mortar infill between paving<br />

• Set on a concrete subbase of minimum<br />

150mm depth as standard<br />

Kerb construction details are available in the<br />

London Highways Alliance Contract.<br />
