If you’re adding off-street parking near Wandle Park or along the River Wandle, a properly installed dropped kerb is essential. We handle the full pavement crossover process in SW19, including council applications and permits. Our team installs the kerb line and reconstructs the footway to meet required specifications. The result is a compliant, durable entrance that looks right outside your home.
Colliers Wood has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer apartments, each with different access constraints. Terraces often need careful alignment to keep the crossover practical without losing too much front garden space. With semis, we plan the crossover width and levels to suit wider drives and existing paths. We also work around shared access points and neighbouring crossovers common around South Wimbledon and Tooting routes.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, measurements, application support, then a scheduled build with clear communication. We protect the area, excavate to the correct depth, install kerbs and construct the footway layers before reinstating cleanly. Every job is completed with compliance in mind, including levels, drainage considerations and safe pedestrian finishes. Homeowners choose us for reliable timescales, tidy sites and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.

In Colliers Wood, dropped kerb projects typically fall between £800 and £2,500, with many homeowners paying around £1,200–£1,800. Costs depend on crossover width, how much footway needs rebuilding, existing surface removal, and whether extra reinstatement is required. Permit and application fees can also affect the overall spend. We provide a site-specific estimate after checking levels, access and the proposed layout.
Most dropped kerb installations take 1–2 days on site, once approvals are in place. The exact duration depends on the crossover size, existing materials (tarmac, slabs or concrete), and whether additional excavation or reinstatement is needed. Weather and delivery access can also influence the schedule, particularly on busier streets. We confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep disruption as short as possible.
A dropped kerb affects the public highway, so you normally need council approval and the correct permits in the London Borough of Merton. While many driveway and front garden changes can be permitted development, the crossover itself must meet highway standards and be authorised. We guide you through the application process, supply the required details, and ensure the build complies with the approved design. If extra permissions are needed, we’ll flag this early.
Yes. Our dropped kerb installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation-related defects, such as settlement from inadequate compaction or failures in the constructed layers. It also covers issues linked to kerb placement and reinstatement quality when installed to our specification. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, third-party works, or problems caused by underlying services not disclosed. We’ll explain coverage clearly before work begins.
Options usually include different kerb profiles approved for crossovers, plus footway finishes such as tarmac, concrete flags, or block paving to match your driveway. We can also integrate edging details and transitions so the entrance looks intentional rather than patched. The best choice depends on council requirements, existing footway materials, and your preferred driveway surface. We’ll recommend a compliant design that suits your property and budget.
