If you’re creating off-street parking near Putney High Street or closer to Putney Bridge, a properly installed pavement crossover is essential. Fine Landscaping delivers compliant dropped kerbs across SW15, handling everything from council paperwork to reinstatement. We work to the required levels and gradients so vehicles can enter smoothly without damaging tyres or the footway. Expect a clear schedule, neat site management and a finish that matches the surrounding pavement.
Putney’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, plus newer riverside apartments, often comes with tight frontages and shared access points. In West Putney and East Putney, we regularly adapt layouts to suit garden walls, bay windows and existing drainage runs. Where frontage space is limited, we help you plan the crossover width and position to keep manoeuvring practical. The result is an entrance that looks right for the property and works day-to-day.
Our process starts with a site survey, then we prepare drawings and submit council applications where needed. Once approved, we book the works, protect surrounding surfaces, install the kerb and reinstate the footway to specification. We keep disruption low and leave the area clean and safe at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, compliant workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working in the London Borough of Wandsworth means getting the crossover details right first time, from kerb types to reinstatement standards. Around Putney Heath and the River Thames towpath, access and parking can be restricted, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for local drainage and levels, common on sloping streets and older front gardens. This helps avoid ponding, uneven transitions and future settlement.

Most dropped kerbs in Putney fall between £1,200 and £1,800, with a wider typical range of £800 to £2,500 depending on the crossover width, existing footway construction and how much reinstatement is required. Costs can rise if there are extra excavation needs, complex levels, or additional council requirements. After a site visit, we provide a detailed, itemised estimate so you can compare like-for-like.
On site, the work is usually completed in 1–2 days, assuming access is clear and the scope is straightforward. Time can extend if the crossover is wider, the pavement build-up is thicker than expected, or reinstatement needs specialist finishes. The overall timeline also depends on council processing for permits and inspections. We’ll confirm the programme once approvals are in place and book a start date that suits you.
Yes, a dropped kerb and pavement crossover normally requires permission because it alters the public footway. Many driveway and front-garden works can be permitted development, but the crossover itself is controlled by the council and must meet their standards. We handle the council application, drawings and permits, and we check any constraints that may affect the design. This keeps the work compliant and avoids costly changes later.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for dropped kerb installations, covering issues such as settlement, poor alignment, or defects arising from installation. It’s designed to give you confidence that the crossover will remain safe, stable and fit for purpose. The warranty doesn’t cover damage caused by third parties, heavy impacts, or underlying problems outside the agreed scope. We’ll explain what’s included clearly before work begins.
Options are usually guided by council standards, but you can often choose details such as crossover width, kerb type (standard or bull-nosed) and the reinstatement finish to blend with the existing footway. Where permitted, we can align the crossover with your driveway surface, edging and drainage approach. We’ll advise on the most practical layout for your frontage, turning space and gradients, then confirm what the council will accept before installation.
