Estate roads

Roads the council
does not maintain.

Until the council takes an estate in charge, its roads, paths and lighting are usually the responsibility of the developer or the owners' management company. Many estates in Kildare and Dublin were never taken in charge, and their roads are now old enough to need real work. This is general information, not legal advice: the title documents or the managing agent will confirm who is responsible.

Scope

What we
work on.

Estate roads

Resurfaced by overlay or plane and relay, or repaired where the rest is sound.

Footpaths

Worn and lifted paths relaid in tarmac with clean edges.

Dished kerbs

Dropped kerbs at crossings for buggies, wheelchairs and bins.

Gullies

Cleared, reset to the new level or replaced where broken.

Access

Working where people live

An estate road is the only way in for every house on it, so the work is planned around access.

Done in half-widths or short lengths so cars can pass.
Each house told when its stretch is being laid.
Emergency and refuse access planned with the management company.

Edges

Kerbs and footpath edges

Broken kerbs let the road edge crumble and send water into the verge. They are replaced before the surface goes down.

Kerbs set in concrete to line and level.
Footpath edges held so the tarmac does not spread.
Ironwork in the road raised to the new surface.
