A properly installed dropped kerb makes everyday parking easier and helps protect your vehicle and pavement edge. We carry out pavement crossovers and kerb installation across SE20, including near Penge High Street and around Penge East station. From first survey to final reinstatement, we keep the site organised and disruption low. You get a compliant crossover that looks right outside your home.
Penge’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have tight frontages and limited turning space, so the crossover needs careful setting-out. We regularly work in the dropped kerbs Penge area, including Anerley and Crystal Palace, where access and parking can be challenging. Our team plans deliveries and work phases to suit narrower roads and busy times. The result is a neat, durable entrance that suits the character of the property.
We start with a site visit, confirm levels, drainage considerations and visibility, then handle council applications and full permits where required. The kerb line is installed to specification, the footway is rebuilt, and the pavement is reinstated cleanly. We work to current standards for dropped kerbs in London Borough of Bromley and document key stages for peace of mind. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts.
In Penge, we often deal with mixed paving types, older services and variable footway build-ups outside period homes. Parking and access near Penge High Street can affect delivery timing, so we plan logistics carefully. We also factor in levels to reduce the risk of bottoming out when entering the drive. Our approach follows London Borough of Bromley requirements and keeps the crossover tidy and compliant.

For dropped kerbs in Penge, most homeowners budget £800–£2,500 depending on crossover width, footway construction, and whether extra excavation or reinstatement is needed. Typical costs are around £1,200–£1,800 for a standard domestic crossover. Fees linked to council applications, traffic management, and making good the pavement can also influence the total. We’ll confirm scope after a site visit and measurements.
Most dropped kerb installations take 1–2 days on site, assuming permissions are already in place and access is clear. Timescales can change if the footway needs deeper reconstruction, if there are unexpected services, or if traffic management is required. Weather can also affect curing and reinstatement. We’ll outline a practical schedule before starting and keep you updated if anything on site changes the plan.
Yes, a dropped kerb typically requires approval because it alters the public highway/footway. While many driveway and front garden works can be permitted development, the pavement crossover and kerb line are controlled by the council. We help with the council application process, drawings and compliance checks, and we’ll confirm any additional requirements such as visibility, drainage, or utility constraints before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for dropped kerb installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by poor compaction, defective reinstatement, or failures linked to installation quality. Normal wear, damage from third parties, or problems caused by underlying utilities outside our control aren’t included. We also take photos at key stages and finish with a tidy handover so you know exactly what’s been done.
Options depend on council requirements and the existing footway, but common choices include standard dropped kerb units, strengthened sub-bases, and reinstatement in matching paving where permitted. We can also advise on crossover width, edge detailing, and levels to suit your vehicle and driveway layout. During the survey we’ll recommend the most practical, compliant solution and explain how each option affects cost and durability.
