If you need a legal, safe way to drive over the pavement, our team installs dropped kerbs and crossovers across CR2. We regularly work near Sanderstead Recreation Ground and along routes linking Purley and Hamsey Green, where off-street parking is a priority. From the first site visit, we focus on compliance, drainage and a finish that complements your frontage. You get one contractor handling the job from application to reinstatement.
Sanderstead’s affluent residential streets include large detached houses, executive homes and attractive period properties, often with wide front gardens and established hedging. These plots can benefit from a properly formed crossover to protect paving edges and reduce vehicle grounding. We design levels and transitions to suit sloping drives and varied boundary details, keeping access practical without spoiling kerb appeal. Our approach is tailored to the property rather than a one-size template.
We start with a measured survey, confirm visibility and access requirements, then manage council applications and full permits. Once approved, we complete kerb installation, pavement crossover construction and reinstatement to the required standard, keeping disruption low and the site tidy. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Every stage is documented so you know what’s happening and why.
Working in the London Borough of Croydon means meeting strict crossover dimensions, levels and reinstatement standards. In Sanderstead, we often plan around school-run parking and narrower residential roads, arranging deliveries and traffic management sensibly. Ground conditions and existing services can vary between older period plots and newer executive homes, so we survey carefully before breaking ground. Our method keeps access safe while protecting neighbouring verges and footways.

For dropped kerbs Sanderstead area projects, most homeowners budget £800–£2,500 depending on crossover width, excavation depth and reinstatement requirements. A typical job falls around £1,200–£1,800 for a standard single access, including compliant kerb installation and making good. Costs can rise if there are utilities to work around, extended footway reconstruction, or additional drainage and edging details.
Most dropped kerb installations take 1–2 days on site once approvals are in place. Day one usually covers excavation, sub-base formation and setting levels; day two is often for surfacing, kerb finishing and reinstatement. Timescales can extend if the crossover is unusually wide, if weather affects curing, or if we need extra coordination around parked cars, deliveries or utility covers.
Yes—dropped kerbs in London Borough of Croydon generally require council approval because the work affects the public highway (kerb and footway). Many driveway and front-garden alterations are permitted development, but the crossover itself is controlled and must be built to the council’s specification. We check requirements, prepare the application information and manage permits, inspections and compliance so you avoid delays or costly rework.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship on the crossover build, including the stability of the sub-base, correct levels and the quality of reinstatement. If an issue arises due to installation faults—such as settlement from inadequate compaction—we’ll put it right. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from heavy vehicles not intended for domestic driveways, third-party utility works, or accidental impact, but we’ll always advise on the best next step.
Your crossover must meet council requirements, but there are still choices around finish and integration with your driveway. Common options include tarmac or asphalt surfacing, concrete edging details, and transitions to block paving or resin-bound driveways on your private land. We’ll advise on levels, drainage and durability, then match the crossover to your existing frontage so it looks intentional and performs well year-round.
