If you’re adding a driveway or improving access, a properly installed pavement crossover is essential. We deliver compliant dropped kerb installations across SM6, including around Wallington Square and routes leading to Wallington station. From initial site checks to reinstatement of the footway, we manage the job end to end. You get a tidy, durable entrance that works for everyday parking and protects the pavement edge.
Wallington homes often come with short front gardens, sloping approaches and shared boundaries, especially with 1930s semis and Victorian terraces. Modern developments can also have tighter turning circles and stricter parking layouts. We design the crossover to suit your frontage width, vehicle type and sightlines, while keeping drainage and levels correct. The result is practical access without compromising kerb appeal.
Our process is straightforward: survey, council application support, approved kerb installation, then full reinstatement and clean-up. We use proven construction methods and materials that meet local authority specifications, with clear communication throughout. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and compliance-led delivery. Every installation is backed by a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.
We’re familiar with dropped kerbs in the London Borough of Sutton, including access constraints in Beddington and Hackbridge. Many streets have limited parking and narrow carriageways, so we plan deliveries and work zones carefully. Ground conditions vary between older frontages and newer builds, which affects excavation depth and sub-base design. We tailor levels and drainage to reduce standing water and prevent future settlement.

For dropped kerbs in Wallington, most homeowners budget £1,200–£1,800 for a typical crossover, with an overall range of around £800–£2,500 depending on width, existing surface, and reinstatement requirements. Costs can rise if there’s extensive excavation, additional drainage, or complex footway materials to match. Council fees and inspections may also apply, so we break down likely costs after a site visit.
Most installations take 1–2 days on site once approvals are in place. Timing depends on the crossover width, the amount of excavation, and whether the footway needs full reinstatement or matching finishes. Weather can affect curing times, and some locations may require phased working to maintain pedestrian access. We’ll confirm the expected programme after surveying access and the existing pavement construction.
Yes, a dropped kerb is highway work and normally requires approval through the council process in the London Borough of Sutton. While many driveway or garden alterations are permitted development, the pavement crossover itself must meet highway standards and be authorised. We help with the council application, required drawings or measurements, and compliance checks. If there are restrictions (trees, utilities, visibility), we’ll flag them early.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our dropped kerb installation workmanship. This covers issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, movement in installed kerbs, and defects linked to our construction methods. It doesn’t cover damage from third parties, vehicle impact, or problems caused by pre-existing drainage failures outside the work area. We also advise on aftercare to keep the crossover performing well.
Options typically include standard dropped kerbs with asphalt reinstatement, concrete footway finishes where specified, and edging details that tie into your driveway. We can also advise on integrating drainage channels, strengthening the entrance for heavier vehicles, and matching levels to block paving or resin-bound driveways. The best choice depends on council requirements, your frontage width, and how you’ll use the access day to day.
