A properly installed dropped kerb makes parking easier, protects your tyres and suspension, and keeps your crossover compliant. We carry out pavement crossovers across CR4, including homes near Mitcham Junction station and around Figges Marsh. From the initial survey to kerb installation and reinstatement, we handle the job end-to-end. You’ll get a neat finish that suits your frontage and meets council requirements.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates often comes with short front gardens, shared drive entrances and tight on-street parking. We plan access carefully, especially on busier routes near Mitcham Cricket Green and the approaches to Mitcham Common. Our team is used to matching levels between pavement and driveway so water falls correctly. That attention to detail helps prevent puddling, cracked edges and premature settlement.
We start with a site visit, check visibility and levels, then manage the council application and full permits where required. Once approved, we complete the kerb installation, construct the crossover, and reinstate the footway to the correct specification. We keep disruption low, maintain safe pedestrian access, and leave the area clean and usable. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, compliant workmanship and a 10-year warranty on our installation.
Working in the London Borough of Merton means meeting specific crossover standards and coordinating inspections where needed. In the dropped kerbs Mitcham area, we often deal with narrow pavements, mature street trees and varied ground build-ups that affect excavation depth and compaction. We also plan deliveries and parking carefully around commuter routes near Mitcham Junction station. Our method reduces the risk of settlement and keeps the footway safe for pedestrians.

Most dropped kerb projects in Mitcham fall between £800 and £2,500, with a typical spend of £1,200–£1,800. Costs vary with crossover width, existing pavement construction, whether excavation is deeper than expected, and the reinstatement finish required. Council fees and traffic management can also influence the total. We’ll survey your frontage and provide a clear, itemised estimate before any work starts.
Once approvals are in place, installation usually takes 1–2 days, depending on the crossover width and how much pavement needs rebuilding. Extra time may be needed if there are utilities to work around, deeper excavation is required, or the council specifies additional construction layers. Weather and access can also affect timing. We’ll confirm a schedule in advance and keep you updated throughout the job.
In the London Borough of Merton, a dropped kerb (vehicle crossover) normally requires council approval because it alters the public footway. While many driveway and front-garden changes can be permitted development, the kerb and pavement works are controlled by the council and must be completed to their specification. We check the requirements for your property, handle the application paperwork, and ensure permits and inspections are arranged correctly.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our dropped kerb installation workmanship. This covers issues such as settlement caused by inadequate compaction, movement of kerbs, and failures related to how the crossover has been constructed and reinstated. It doesn’t cover damage from third parties, heavy impacts, or underlying utility works carried out later. We’ll explain what’s included and provide aftercare guidance to keep everything performing well.
Options depend on council specification and the existing footway, but common choices include standard dropped kerbs, strengthened crossover construction, and reinstatement finishes that match the surrounding pavement. For your driveway edge, we can coordinate levels with block paving, tarmac, resin-bound surfacing or concrete. We’ll advise on widths, gradients and drainage so the crossover looks smart and works safely. Our aim is a durable finish that suits your frontage and budget.
