Sutton’s mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and newer developments often brings different challenges—narrow frontages, shared drive entrances, or limited on-street parking. In areas such as Carshalton and Benhilton, we regularly plan around existing walls, steps and mature planting. We also consider sight lines, gradients and drainage so the crossover works properly in all weather. The result is a practical entrance that suits the property and the street.
Our process is straightforward: site survey, specification, council application support, then installation and reinstatement to current standards. We coordinate permits and compliance requirements so you’re not left chasing paperwork. Work is typically completed in 1–2 days, with clear communication on access and curing times. Homeowners choose us for neat workmanship, reliable scheduling and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We’re used to the access constraints and parking pressures around Rosehill and the St Nicholas Centre, so we plan deliveries and working areas carefully. Ground conditions and existing services can vary street to street, so we survey before finalising levels and drainage. We also align our method statements with requirements for dropped kerbs in London Borough of Sutton, keeping compliance front and centre. That local experience helps avoid delays and rework.

For dropped kerbs Sutton area projects, costs commonly fall between £800 and £2,500 depending on crossover width, excavation depth, and reinstatement type. Most homeowners pay around £1,200–£1,800 for a standard domestic crossover. Prices can rise if there are complex levels, additional drainage, or extensive pavement reinstatement. We provide a site-specific quote after checking access, services and council requirements.
Most installations take 1–2 days on site, assuming permits are in place and access is straightforward. Timescales can extend if the council programme dictates start dates, if there are utility covers to work around, or if additional reinstatement is required. Weather and curing time can also affect when you can drive over the new crossover. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the survey.
A dropped kerb affects the public highway, so it typically requires approval from the highway authority and must be installed to their specification by an approved contractor. While many driveway or front garden changes can be permitted development, the pavement crossover itself is controlled separately. We help with the council application, drawings/spec details where needed, and ensure the build meets compliance requirements before reinstatement is signed off.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the dropped kerb and crossover construction, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base, poor compaction, or installation defects. It also covers reinstatement quality where we’ve carried out the works. Normal wear, impact damage, and issues caused by third-party utility works aren’t included. We’ll explain the warranty terms clearly before starting.
Options depend on council specification and the existing footway construction, but common solutions include standard dropped kerb units with a robust sub-base and reinstatement in tarmac or concrete. Where permitted, we can integrate edging details to match your driveway entrance and manage levels for smooth vehicle access. We’ll advise on crossover width, gradients and drainage so the finished design is practical, compliant and visually tidy.
