A properly installed dropped kerb makes entering and leaving your driveway safer and keeps you compliant with local rules. In Battersea, we regularly work around busy routes near Clapham Junction and the redevelopment around Battersea Power Station. Our team manages the pavement crossover build from start to finish, including reinstatement of the footway. We also coordinate access so disruption is kept to a minimum.
Battersea’s mix of Victorian terraces, mansion blocks and luxury new builds means no two crossovers are identical. We’re used to tight frontages in SW11 and the wider forecourts seen around Nine Elms and SW8. Whether you need a single-vehicle access or a wider crossover for modern parking layouts, we design to suit your frontage and sightlines. Finish and levels are set carefully to protect thresholds and avoid drainage issues.
Our process starts with a site survey, then we prepare drawings and submit the council application where required. Once approved, we book the works, install the kerbs and construct the crossover to specification, then reinstate paving and edges cleanly. You’ll get clear communication, tidy working practices and a 10-year warranty on workmanship. Homeowners choose us for compliant work that looks right and lasts.
We understand the requirements for dropped kerbs in London Borough of Wandsworth, including crossover construction details and reinstatement expectations. Battersea streets can be heavily parked, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and safe pedestrian routes carefully. Ground build-ups vary between older terrace frontages and newer developments, so we set levels to avoid pooling water and protect existing services. Our approach keeps your crossover durable and inspection-ready.

In the dropped kerbs Battersea area, most homeowners budget £800–£2,500 depending on width, existing pavement construction and the amount of reinstatement needed. Typical projects come in around £1,200–£1,800 for a standard single access. Costs can rise if there are complex levels, additional drainage work, or if the crossover needs wider construction to meet access requirements. We’ll survey and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most dropped kerb installations take 1–2 days on site once approvals are in place. The exact timescale depends on the crossover width, the existing footway materials, and whether additional excavation or reinstatement is required. Weather can affect curing and finishing, and busy Battersea streets may require careful scheduling for deliveries and safe access. We’ll confirm the programme in advance and keep disruption as low as possible.
Yes—because the pavement and kerbs are part of the public highway, a dropped kerb normally requires approval from the London Borough of Wandsworth and must be installed to their specification. While many driveway or front garden changes can be permitted development, the crossover itself is controlled by the council. We check requirements, prepare the information needed, and handle council applications and permits so the work remains fully compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our dropped kerb and pavement crossover installations. This covers issues arising from installation quality, such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or defects in reinstatement finishes. It does not cover accidental damage, third-party works, or problems caused by underlying utility failures beyond our control. We also advise on aftercare to help your crossover perform well long term.
Options depend on council specifications and the existing footway, but common choices include standard kerb units, strengthened crossover construction, and matching reinstatement finishes such as concrete flags or block paving where permitted. We can also advise on crossover width, radiused edges for easier turning, and level transitions to suit your driveway surface. After a site visit, we recommend the best compliant design for access, appearance and durability.
