If you’re adding off-street parking or improving access, a properly installed dropped kerb is essential. We deliver pavement crossovers across CR0 and CR2, including Addiscombe and South Croydon, with a focus on safety and compliance. From initial site checks to reinstatement, we manage the details so you don’t have to. You’ll see our work around busy routes near East Croydon station and residential streets alike.
Croydon’s streets mix Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, and each brings different constraints. Narrow frontages, shared crossovers and existing utilities often influence the final layout and levels. We’re based just 10 minutes away, so we can quickly assess access, parking restrictions and traffic flow. That local experience helps us plan a crossover that looks right and performs well long-term.
Our process is straightforward: survey, council application support, permits, installation, then full reinstatement to the required standard. We use robust sub-bases and correct falls to reduce settlement and standing water. You’ll get clear communication on timings, disruption and what’s included before work starts. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy sites and compliant finishes that pass inspection.
Working in the London Borough of Croydon means planning around busy roads, controlled parking zones and frequent utility covers. Ground conditions can vary between older terrace streets and newer estates, so we tailor excavation depth and sub-base build-up accordingly. We also factor in sightlines, footfall and existing drainage to keep the crossover safe and compliant. If access is tight, we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption.

Most dropped kerbs in London Borough of Croydon take 1–2 days on site once permissions are in place. Timescales depend on the crossover width, the type of footway construction, and whether additional works are needed (such as deeper sub-base build-up, drainage changes or more extensive reinstatement). Weather and access can also affect progress. We’ll provide a clear programme and keep disruption to a minimum.
You usually need council approval for any works that alter the public highway, including a pavement crossover and kerb lowering. Many driveway or front garden changes can be permitted development, but the dropped kerb itself is controlled and must meet the council’s specification. We help you navigate the process, prepare the required information, and ensure the installation is compliant so it can be signed off properly.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our dropped kerb installation, covering issues linked to our construction such as settlement caused by inadequate compaction, edge failures and defects in reinstatement. It’s designed to give homeowners confidence that the crossover will remain stable and safe. Normal wear, accidental damage, third-party utility works and misuse aren’t covered, but we’ll always advise on maintenance and repairs if needed.
Options typically include standard kerb units to council specification, different crossover widths to suit one or two cars, and reinstatement finishes that match the existing footway where permitted. We can also coordinate the crossover with your driveway surface (block paving, resin-bound or tarmac) and set levels to suit thresholds and drainage. We’ll recommend the best layout based on your frontage, parking needs and council requirements.
