If you’re adding a driveway or improving access, a properly installed dropped kerb makes entry safer and protects your vehicle and tyres. We deliver premium pavement crossovers across DA5 and nearby streets, with tidy reinstatement that matches the existing footway. Many clients around Bexley High Street want a neat finish that complements the frontage rather than looking like an afterthought. Our team manages the details so the job is compliant from start to finish.
Bexley’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern homes means no two frontages are the same. In Bexleyheath and Barnehurst, we often work with wider driveways and sloping approaches, while tighter plots can need careful kerb alignment and drainage consideration. We design the crossover to suit your vehicle use, sightlines and the existing pavement construction. The result is practical access that looks right for the property.
Our process starts with a site survey, measurements and a clear scope of works, then we progress council applications and full permits where required. We install the kerb and crossover to current standards, including correct levels, bedding and reinstatement of the footway. You’ll get straightforward communication, a scheduled work window, and a finish built to last. Homeowners choose us because we combine compliance with careful workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
We’re used to working across the London Borough of Bexley, where parking controls, footway widths and visibility requirements can vary street by street. In areas near Danson Park and older roads, we often find mixed pavement construction that needs careful excavation and compaction to prevent future settlement. We plan deliveries, access and pedestrian management to keep disruption low. Everything is set out to meet council specifications before reinstatement is signed off.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For dropped kerbs in the Bexley area, most homeowners budget between £800 and £2,500 depending on crossover width, existing pavement construction, and the amount of excavation and reinstatement required. Typical projects fall around £1,200–£1,800 for a standard domestic access. Costs can rise if extra drainage, additional kerb lengths, utility adjustments, or more complex traffic management are needed.
Most dropped kerb installations take 1–2 days on site once approvals are in place. Day one usually covers excavation, setting levels and installing the kerbs; day two is commonly for surfacing and reinstatement, depending on curing times and the chosen materials. Timescales can change with weather, restricted access, or if the footway build-up is deeper than expected. We confirm a programme after the survey.
A dropped kerb and pavement crossover normally requires approval from the highway authority, even if your driveway works on private land are permitted development. Rules can cover visibility, proximity to junctions, street furniture, trees and utility covers, plus minimum driveway depth. We check requirements for dropped kerbs in London Borough of Bexley, prepare the application details, and ensure the installation meets the council’s specification before reinstatement and sign-off.
Yes. Our dropped kerb installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship-related issues such as settlement caused by inadequate compaction, failed edging/kerb alignment, and defects in reinstatement attributable to installation. Normal wear, accidental damage, and issues caused by third-party utility works aren’t included, but we’ll always advise on next steps. We build to specification, use quality materials, and document the work for peace of mind.
Options depend on council specification and the existing footway, but common choices include standard concrete kerbs, bull-nosed kerbs, and approved crossover surfacing that matches surrounding slabs or asphalt. We can also coordinate the transition to your driveway surface, such as block paving, tarmac or resin-bound finishes on private land. We’ll recommend the best layout for vehicle type, turning circle and frontage width, keeping everything compliant.
