Response within 24 hours
If you’re creating off-street parking or improving access, a properly installed pavement crossover makes all the difference. We deliver compliant dropped kerbs for homes across SW16 and SW2, with careful reinstatement of the footway. Our team regularly works near Streatham High Road and around Streatham Common, so we understand the practicalities of busy streets and residential parking. Expect a clean, well-finished entrance that looks right from day one.
Streatham’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion flats and newer apartments often comes with tight frontages, mature street trees and shared access considerations. In Streatham Hill and Streatham Vale, we frequently see sloping drive approaches and varied pavement construction that need the correct build-up. We plan levels, drainage falls and edging details to suit period properties as well as modern hardstanding. The aim is straightforward access without scraping bumpers or damaging the kerbline.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear scope, then we manage the council application and permits where required. Once approved, we complete kerb installation, crossover construction and reinstatement efficiently—typically within 1–2 days—while keeping disruption low. We work to current standards, use quality materials, and leave the area safe and tidy at the end of each day. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent costs and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth means navigating strict crossover rules, inspections and busy kerbside parking. Around Streatham Park and near landmarks like Rookery Gardens, access can be narrow and pedestrian traffic higher, so we plan deliveries and site safety carefully. Ground build-ups and existing utilities vary street to street, which affects excavation depth and reinstatement details. Our approach is tailored to the dropped kerbs Streatham area homeowners need—compliant, durable and visually tidy.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most dropped kerb projects in Streatham fall between £1,200 and £1,800, with an overall range of roughly £800–£2,500 depending on scope. Costs vary with the length of crossover, pavement construction, excavation depth, and whether additional works are needed (such as strengthening the crossover or adjusting levels). Council fees and traffic management requirements can also affect the total. We provide a site-specific estimate after a survey.
The on-site works for a dropped kerb typically take 1–2 days, assuming approvals are already in place. Timescales can extend if the crossover is longer than standard, if the pavement needs deeper reconstruction, or if there are constraints such as restricted access, parked cars, or utility covers that require careful handling. Weather can also slow curing and reinstatement. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before booking dates.
For a dropped kerb and pavement crossover in the London Borough of Lambeth, you normally need council approval because you’re altering the public highway. Many driveway or front garden changes can be permitted development, but the crossover itself is regulated and must meet specific standards. We can manage the application process, provide the required information, and ensure the build is completed to the approved specification. If extra consents are needed, we’ll flag them early.
Yes. Our dropped kerb installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the integrity of the installed elements, including kerb alignment, levels and reinstated surfaces (subject to normal wear and third-party damage). If an issue arises due to installation, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right. We also follow compliant build methods to reduce the risk of settlement, rocking blocks or premature cracking over time.
Options depend on council requirements and the existing footway, but common choices include standard dropped kerb units with a reinforced crossover, different edging details, and reinstatement finishes that match the surrounding pavement. Where permitted, we can integrate complementary driveway materials at the boundary, such as block paving or resin-bound surfacing, to create a clean transition. We’ll advise on levels, drainage falls and the most durable finish for your frontage and vehicle use.
