If you’re tired of bumping the kerb or risking damage to your car, a compliant crossover makes day-to-day parking far easier. We deliver dropped kerb installations across BR7, including routes near Chislehurst Common and the approaches around St Nicholas Church. Our team manages the details that matter: correct kerb profiles, safe gradients and a clean finish to the footway. The result is a driveway entrance that looks right and meets council requirements.
Chislehurst’s large detached homes, Victorian villas and period properties often have established front boundaries, mature planting and tighter sightlines. That means access needs planning—especially where walls, hedges or sloping drives affect levels. We regularly work in nearby areas such as Elmstead and Mottingham, adapting the crossover design to protect features and improve manoeuvring. You’ll get a solution that suits the frontage, not a one-size-fits-all layout.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, measurements, council application support, then scheduled installation with clear communication throughout. We handle full permits, kerb installation, pavement crossover works and reinstatement so the footway is left neat and safe. Every job is completed to specification with compliance checks built in. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, tidy workmanship and a finish that lasts.

Most dropped kerb projects in Chislehurst fall between £800 and £2,500, with a typical spend around £1,200–£1,800. Costs depend on crossover width, the number of kerbs to be lowered, footway construction, and whether extra excavation or reinstatement is needed. Council application and permit fees may be separate and vary by circumstances. We’ll assess access, levels and the footway before giving a clear, itemised estimate.
Installation usually takes 1–2 days once permits and approvals are in place. A straightforward crossover with good access can often be completed in a day, while wider entrances or additional reinstatement may need a second visit. Timescales are affected by weather, curing time for materials, and any council inspection requirements. We’ll confirm the programme before starting and keep disruption to parking and access as low as possible.
For dropped kerbs in London Borough of Bromley, you normally need council approval because the work affects the public footway and kerb line. While many driveway and front-garden changes can be permitted development, the crossover itself is controlled and must meet specific standards for safety and drainage. We help with the council application process, provide the required details, and ensure the installation is completed to the correct specification and compliance requirements.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for dropped kerb installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by poor compaction, loose kerbs, or premature failure of reinstated areas due to installation defects. It doesn’t cover damage from vehicle impacts, third-party utility works, or general wear and tear. We also document the build-up and finish so you have a clear record of what was installed and how.
Options depend on council specification and your frontage, but common choices include standard dropped kerb units with a matching pavement crossover, strengthened sub-base build-ups, and finishes that tie into your driveway (such as block paving or tarmac transitions). We’ll advise on the best crossover width, kerb radii, and gradients for comfortable access. Where drainage is a concern, we’ll recommend compliant solutions that prevent water running onto the highway.
