A properly installed dropped kerb makes day-to-day access easier and protects your vehicle from awkward kerb strikes. We deliver pavement crossovers across SM2 and SM3, including North Cheam and routes near Cheam Village. From initial survey to final reinstatement, our team keeps the frontage neat and compliant. If you’re close to Nonsuch Park, we’ll also consider local parking and traffic management needs.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and larger executive homes often comes with varied front garden levels and older boundary details. We regularly work with narrow or shared drive entrances and existing paving that needs careful tying-in. Whether you’re upgrading a single-car access or widening for modern vehicles, we plan levels and drainage to suit the property. The result is a crossover that looks right with the house and works reliably in all weather.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear scope of works, then we manage the council application and required permits. We install the kerb transition, construct the crossover to specification, and reinstate the footway to a high standard. You’ll get straightforward communication, respectful working practices and a finish designed to meet local authority requirements. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, clean workmanship and long-lasting results.
Working in the London Borough of Sutton means meeting strict crossover standards and coordinating inspections and permits. In Cheam, we often encounter mixed footway materials and older frontages where levels must be set carefully to avoid ponding. We plan deliveries and parking to minimise disruption, especially near schools and busier roads. Our approach suits everything from 1930s plots to conservation-area sensitivities around Cheam Village.

For dropped kerbs Cheam area projects, most homeowners budget between £1,200 and £1,800, with an overall range of roughly £800 to £2,500. Costs vary with crossover width, existing footway construction, excavation depth, drainage needs, and whether the council requires additional specifications or inspections. If you’re widening an entrance or replacing poor groundwork, expect the higher end of the range.
On-site works typically take 1–2 days, depending on the crossover size, the existing pavement build-up, and whether reinstatement involves multiple surface types. Weather, access constraints and any required inspections can also affect timings. The council application and permit stage can take longer than the physical build, so we plan the programme around approval dates and keep you updated throughout.

We’ll also flag any constraints linked to trees, street furniture or visibility.
