If you’re adding a driveway or improving access, a properly installed pavement crossover is essential in BR2. Fine Landscaping delivers end-to-end dropped kerb works across Hayes, including near Hayes station and the edges of Hayes Common. We manage the kerb installation, footway reinstatement and all compliance requirements. The result is a clean, durable entrance that protects the pavement and your vehicle.
Hayes (Bromley) has a distinct mix of large detached homes, period cottages and well-kept 1930s properties, often with wider frontages and mature hedging. That means entrances need careful setting-out to suit existing walls, trees and gradients. We regularly work around older drains and services common in established streets, as well as tighter access found near West Wickham and Bromley Common. Our approach keeps disruption low while delivering a finish that suits the property.
We start with a site survey, confirm levels and visibility, then prepare drawings and submit the council application where required. Once approved, we excavate, install the kerbs and construct the crossover to specification, followed by full reinstatement and a tidy handover. You’ll get clear scheduling, traffic/pedestrian safety measures, and workmanship backed by our warranty. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication and compliant results that pass inspection.
Hayes sits close to large commons and mature tree lines, so roots, verge edges and drainage details often affect crossover design. We plan access and parking carefully to keep pedestrian routes open and minimise disruption on residential roads. Our team is familiar with dropped kerbs in Hayes (Bromley) area requirements, including inspections and reinstatement standards. We also account for sloping drives and older front boundaries typical around BR2.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most dropped kerb projects in Hayes (Bromley) fall between £800 and £2,500, with a typical spend around £1,200–£1,800 depending on crossover width, kerb type and the amount of excavation and reinstatement needed. Costs can rise if the footway construction is thicker than expected, if drainage changes are required, or if there are additional permissions, traffic management or service diversions.
In most cases the on-site work takes 1–2 days, covering excavation, kerb installation, base construction and reinstatement. The overall timeline can be longer if you need council approval first, or if inspections must be booked around council availability. Weather, access for machinery, and the need to protect existing walls, trees or utilities can also affect the programme. We provide a clear schedule before starting.
A dropped kerb (pavement crossover) usually requires approval from the highway authority, even when driveway works on your own land are often permitted development. In the London Borough of Bromley, the council typically controls the application, specifications and inspections for the footway and kerb. We check requirements, prepare the paperwork and ensure the build meets the approved standard, helping you avoid enforcement issues or failed inspections.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for dropped kerb installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate compaction, movement of kerbs, and defects linked to installation quality. Normal wear, impact damage, or problems caused by third-party works (for example utility excavations) aren’t covered. We also document the build stages and materials used, so you have clear records for peace of mind.
Options typically include standard dropped kerbs to match the existing street, different crossover widths to suit your driveway layout, and finishes such as tarmac, concrete or block paving for the entrance on your land. We can also advise on edging details, gradients and drainage to prevent water running onto the highway. After a site survey, we recommend the most suitable specification for your frontage and council requirements.
