A properly installed dropped kerb makes driveway access safer, protects your vehicle, and helps avoid pavement damage. We install council-compliant crossovers across BR1 and BR2, including routes around Bromley South station and near The Glades Shopping Centre. From initial site checks to final reinstatement, we manage the details so you don’t have to. Expect clear communication, clean workmanship and a finish that looks right for your frontage.
Bromley’s mix of large detached homes, Victorian villas and modern developments often comes with varied frontage levels, boundary walls and existing paving to work around. In areas such as Shortlands and Bickley, we regularly deal with sloping drive entrances and mature street trees that influence crossover design. We match levels carefully to prevent grounding and reduce standing water at the threshold. The result is a practical entrance that complements the property rather than looking like an afterthought.
Our process starts with a survey, measurements and advice on the most suitable crossover width and kerb type. We handle council applications, arrange permits, install the dropped kerbs and complete full pavement reinstatement to the required standard. Work is planned to keep access and parking as straightforward as possible, and we leave the site clean each day. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, compliance-first planning and a 10-year warranty on our installation.
The dropped kerbs Bromley area often involves busy parking, school-run traffic and narrow approaches, so we plan deliveries and access carefully. Ground conditions can vary between older roads and newer developments, affecting excavation depth and compaction. We also factor in existing utilities, street furniture and tree roots commonly found near established avenues. Our team works to the London Borough of Bromley requirements and coordinates inspections and reinstatement standards from the outset.

Most dropped kerb installations take 1–2 days on site once approvals and permits are in place. The timescale depends on the crossover size, existing surface type (tarmac, block paving or slabs), and whether additional works are required such as drainage channels or strengthening the footway. We confirm a schedule after the survey and coordinate around access needs, inspections and any council requirements for reinstatement.
Yes, a dropped kerb (vehicle crossover) typically requires approval from the London Borough of Bromley because it alters the public highway. While many driveway and front garden changes can be permitted development, the kerb and footway works are controlled by the council and must meet their specification. We handle the application process, check constraints such as visibility, trees and utilities, and ensure the installation is compliant from start to finish.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our dropped kerb installation workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate compaction, movement of kerbs, or defects in reinstatement directly related to our work. It doesn’t cover damage from third parties, heavy impacts, or underlying utility works carried out after completion. We also document the build-up and finish so you have a clear record of what was installed and why.
Options typically include standard kerb profiles to the council specification, with the crossover finished in materials that suit your frontage—often tarmac, concrete, or block paving to match an existing driveway. We can advise on crossover width, edge detailing and levels to reduce grounding and improve water run-off. After a site survey, we recommend the most practical design that meets council rules and looks appropriate for your property.
