Beckenham’s leafy streets include Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and period conversions, many with short front gardens and tight turning circles. We design crossovers that work with existing boundary walls, mature planting and typical front garden levels. Where drive gradients are steep or drainage is sensitive, we adjust build-ups and falls to reduce standing water. Our team is based just 15 minutes away, so site visits and follow-ups are straightforward.

Most dropped kerb installations take 1–2 days on site once permissions are in place. The exact timescale depends on the crossover size, the existing pavement construction, and whether extra groundwork is needed to achieve correct levels and falls. Utility covers, tree roots, or restricted access for machinery can add time. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after surveying the frontage and coordinating with the council process.
Yes, a dropped kerb and pavement crossover usually requires approval from the highway authority in the London Borough of Bromley, even if your driveway works on private land are permitted development. The council sets standards for kerb types, crossover construction and pedestrian safety. We help with council applications, drawings and supporting information, and we ensure the build follows the approved specification. If any extra consents are needed, we’ll flag them early.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our dropped kerb and crossover workmanship. It covers defects arising from installation, such as settlement due to poor compaction, edge failures, or issues linked to our reinstatement of the footway. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party works (for example, utility excavations) aren’t included. We also give aftercare advice so your crossover stays in good condition long-term.
Options depend on council standards, but we can often match the existing footway finish using asphalt, concrete, or approved block paving where permitted. We’ll advise on kerb profiles, crossover widths and entrance radii to suit your vehicle and frontage. For period conversions and 1930s semis, we aim for a practical layout that still looks tidy against the property. We’ll recommend the best specification for durability, drainage and compliance.
