Response within 24 hours
A properly installed dropped kerb makes driveway access safer, protects your vehicle, and keeps you on the right side of local rules. We deliver pavement crossovers across SW17, including Tooting Broadway and Tooting Bec. Whether you’re near Tooting Broadway station or heading towards Tooting Bec Common, we plan the works to minimise disruption and leave a clean finish.
Tooting’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have tight frontages and shared access, so the details matter. We assess kerb height, pavement width and existing utilities before any work starts. In streets around Furzedown and Tooting Graveney, we also factor in parking pressure and practical site access. The result is a crossover that looks right for the property and performs well long-term.
Our process is straightforward: survey, council application support, compliant kerb installation, then full reinstatement of the footway. We coordinate permits and inspections, keep you updated, and work to agreed timescales. Homeowners choose us for clear pricing, careful workmanship and a finish that blends with the surrounding pavement. All work is completed to the required standards and backed by our warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Wandsworth means meeting specific crossover requirements, inspection stages and approved contractor expectations. In SW17 streets, access can be restricted and parking is often limited, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for older paving build-ups and variable sub-bases common around Victorian housing. This local approach helps avoid delays and ensures a compliant finish.

For dropped kerbs Tooting area projects typically fall between £800 and £2,500, with many homeowners paying around £1,200–£1,800 depending on kerb length, footway construction and reinstatement requirements. Costs can rise if the pavement needs deeper excavation, there are multiple kerbs to alter, or additional drainage and edging are required. We provide a site-specific quote after a survey and council requirements check.
Most dropped kerb installations take 1–2 days on site once permits and scheduling are in place. The exact timescale depends on the crossover width, the condition of the existing pavement, and whether extra excavation or reinstatement is needed. Access constraints on busy SW17 roads can also affect delivery and working windows. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the survey and keep disruption to a minimum.
Yes—while many driveway and front garden changes can be permitted development, a dropped kerb (pavement crossover) normally requires approval from the highway authority in the London Borough of Wandsworth. The council controls the kerb alteration, footway construction and contractor standards. We help with the application process, drawings or measurements if needed, and ensure the build meets compliance requirements. We’ll also flag any planning constraints affecting your frontage.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for dropped kerb installations. This covers issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor compaction, or defects in reinstatement that lead to uneven levels under normal use. It doesn’t cover damage from utility works, heavy vehicles beyond design expectations, or accidental impact. We’ll explain what’s included in writing before we start and advise on best aftercare.
Options depend on council requirements and the existing footway, but common choices include reinforced concrete crossover slabs, asphalt finishes, and block paving where permitted for the driveway entrance. We can also match edging details and levels so the crossover sits neatly with the surrounding pavement. During the survey we’ll advise what’s acceptable for your street, how it will look with your driveway surface, and what offers the best durability for daily vehicle use.
