If you’re adding off-street parking or improving access in Old Coulsdon or near Farthing Downs, a properly installed pavement crossover is essential. Our team handles the full dropped kerb package, from council applications through to kerb installation and reinstatement. We work to London Borough of Croydon requirements and keep disruption to a minimum. CR5 homeowners choose us for clean workmanship and compliant results.
Coulsdon’s mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and newer developments often comes with wider frontages and sloping approaches. We design the crossover to suit your vehicle use, visibility and the existing footway levels. Whether you’re upgrading a tired entrance in Chipstead Valley or planning a new driveway access in Hooley, we match levels carefully to avoid grounding and pooling. The aim is a smooth, durable entry that looks right with the property.
We start with a site survey, confirm kerb line constraints, and manage the permits and approvals before any excavation begins. Our installation includes excavation, sub-base build-up, kerb laying, surfacing tie-ins and full reinstatement of the footway. You’ll get clear communication, a scheduled start date, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Local homeowners trust us because we keep sites safe, tidy and compliant from day one.
Coulsdon’s semi-rural setting and downland edges can mean variable ground conditions and changes in level between driveway and footway. We plan falls and thresholds to reduce water pooling and keep access comfortable for everyday parking. Working across the dropped kerbs Coulsdon area, we also account for parking restrictions, pedestrian routes and visibility requirements. Our team is used to coordinating with the London Borough of Croydon so approvals and inspections run smoothly.

For dropped kerbs in Coulsdon, most homeowners budget £800–£2,500 depending on the crossover width, footway construction and any service adjustments. A typical project commonly falls around £1,200–£1,800. Costs can rise if there’s extensive excavation, additional kerb lengths, complex drainage needs or restricted access for machinery. We’ll survey first and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most dropped kerb installations take 1–2 days on site once permissions are in place. Day one usually covers excavation, sub-base preparation and kerb setting; day two is often surfacing, finishing and reinstatement. Timescales can change with weather, curing requirements, the number of kerbs being lowered and whether the footway needs deeper reconstruction. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit.
Yes—creating a vehicle crossover across the pavement typically requires approval from the London Borough of Croydon, even if other driveway works may be permitted development. The council controls the footway, kerb line and standards for construction. We handle the application process, check site constraints (such as street furniture and visibility), and ensure the build meets the required specification. We’ll advise you on any additional consents that may apply.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for dropped kerb installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, kerb movement and failures related to our construction. It also covers reinstatement works where applicable. Normal wear, accidental damage, or problems caused by third-party utility works aren’t included. We’ll explain warranty terms clearly and provide aftercare guidance to keep the crossover performing well.
Options depend on council requirements and the existing footway, but common choices include concrete kerbs, conservation-style kerbs where permitted, and surfacing tie-ins using tarmac or block paving to suit your driveway. We can also advise on edging details, levels and drainage considerations to prevent water running onto the highway. During the survey, we’ll recommend the most practical, compliant finish for your frontage and vehicle use.
