If you’re adding a new driveway or improving access, a properly installed pavement crossover makes all the difference. We deliver dropped kerbs epsom area homeowners can rely on, from application support through to the final tidy-up. Working across KT17 and KT18, we regularly help clients near Epsom Clock Tower and the Ashley Centre. The result is a smooth transition from road to drive, built to specification and ready for everyday use.
Epsom and Ewell Borough has a mix of large detached houses, period properties and modern executive homes, often with wider frontages and multiple vehicles. In Ewell and Stoneleigh, we frequently see older drive entrances that need upgrading to match today’s parking needs. In Epsom Downs and Langley Vale, sloping approaches and deeper verges can affect levels and drainage. We tailor the crossover design so it suits the property and the street scene, not just the minimum requirement.
Our process starts with a site visit to confirm visibility, gradients, services and the safest entry point. We handle the paperwork and coordinate requirements so your dropped kerbs in Epsom and Ewell Borough are completed compliantly, with clear communication throughout. Installation is carried out with proper excavation, sub-base build-up, kerb laying and reinstatement to a clean edge. You’ll get a workmanship-backed finish and a team that respects your driveway, neighbours and parking arrangements.
Epsom streets often combine older footways, verges and modern utility runs, so careful checks are essential before excavation. Parking can be tight near town routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to reduce disruption. We’re familiar with local approval processes and typical crossover specifications used across KT19 and surrounding roads. Ground conditions vary from compacted chalky soils to mixed made-up ground, and we build the base accordingly.

Most dropped kerb projects in Epsom fall between £1,200 and £1,800, with an overall typical range of £800 to £2,500 depending on crossover width, excavation depth and reinstatement requirements. Costs can rise if there’s a wide verge, complex levels, extra drainage needs, or additional footway construction. We’ll survey the site and explain what’s driving the price before any work starts.
A standard dropped kerb installation usually takes 1–2 days on site, assuming approvals are in place and access is straightforward. Time can increase if the crossover is wider, the pavement build-up is deeper than expected, or if extra reinstatement is required to match existing footway materials. Weather, curing times and traffic management can also affect scheduling. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit.
In most cases, you’ll need approval for the pavement crossover because it alters the public highway, even if your driveway works on private land are often permitted development. Requirements can cover visibility, gradients, drainage and the position of street furniture or utilities. We help with council applications and ensure the design meets the relevant standards. If any extra permissions are needed, we’ll flag them early and guide you through them.
Yes. 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 defects in reinstatement attributable to installation. It does not cover damage from vehicle impacts, third-party utility works, or general wear outside normal use. We also give aftercare advice so the crossover beds in properly and performs long term.
Options depend on local specifications, but common choices include standard dropped kerb units, strengthened crossover construction, and different edging details to suit the driveway entrance. Reinstatement may involve matching existing footway surfaces where required, plus adjustments to levels for smoother access. We’ll advise on the best width and turning space for your vehicles, and we’ll design the transition to reduce scraping and improve drainage where needed.
