If you’re creating or upgrading driveway access in CR6, a compliant dropped kerb is essential. Fine Landscaping installs pavement crossovers that meet council standards, from initial checks through to reinstatement. We regularly work around Warlingham Green and Hamsey Green, where parking and visibility can be tight. Expect a clean, durable finish that protects the footway and your vehicle.
Warlingham’s mix of period cottages, large detached houses and country homes often comes with wide verges, mature hedging and sloping front gardens. We design levels and falls so water drains correctly and the crossover sits neatly with existing drive materials. For properties near Warlingham Park School or along busier routes, we plan safe access and clear sightlines. You’ll get practical advice on widths, gradients and edging that suit your frontage.
Our process is straightforward: survey, council application support, permit approval, kerb installation, then full reinstatement of the footway. We use robust sub-bases and correct kerb units to reduce sinking, rocking and premature cracking. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with clear communication on access and parking. Homeowners choose us for reliable compliance, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty on our installation.
Dropped kerbs in Tandridge District can involve varied verge depths, clay-heavy ground and uneven footway levels. Around Hamsey Green and Chelsham we often allow for additional excavation and stronger sub-base build-ups to keep the crossover stable. We also plan around narrower lanes, school-run traffic and restricted parking so the site stays safe and accessible. Our team is based 25 minutes away, making surveys and follow-ups easy.

Most dropped kerbs in Warlingham fall between £1,200 and £1,800, with a wider typical range of £800 to £2,500 depending on scope. Costs vary with the number of kerbs to be lowered, footway construction, verge excavation, drainage needs, and reinstatement materials. Permit fees and any council-required specifications can also affect the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Installation usually takes 1–2 days once permits are in place and a start date is booked. Straightforward crossovers with minimal excavation can be completed in a day, while deeper verges, additional sub-base, or complex reinstatement may take two. Weather, access restrictions, and any required utility checks can extend timelines. We’ll confirm the programme in advance and keep disruption to a minimum throughout.
You typically need council approval for the pavement crossover because it alters the public footway, even if your driveway itself may be permitted development. Tandridge District and the relevant highways authority set standards for widths, gradients, drainage and visibility. We help with council applications, drawings and compliance checks, and we won’t start work until the correct permissions are confirmed. This protects you from enforcement and rework costs.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our dropped kerb installation workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base, rocking kerbs, and reinstatement failures attributable to installation. It does not cover damage from heavy vehicles beyond design use, ground movement outside the work area, or third-party utility works. We also advise on aftercare and loading to help your crossover last as long as possible.
Options are usually guided by council specification, but there’s still choice in how the crossover ties into your driveway. We can match levels to block paving, tarmac, resin-bound surfaces or gravel (with proper edge restraint). Kerb types typically include standard dropped kerbs and transition kerbs for a smooth run. We’ll recommend widths, edging and drainage details that suit your frontage, parking needs and vehicle type.
