West Wickham has a mix of 1930s semis and detached houses, along with newer developments around Spring Park and neighbouring Shirley.

We plan gradients, drainage considerations and sightlines to suit each frontage. The result is practical access that complements your home’s kerb appeal.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, measurements, specification, then we manage permits and book the works. We install the kerbs, form the crossover, and reinstate the pavement to the required standard, keeping the area clean and safe throughout.

Yes—while many driveway and front garden changes can be permitted development, lowering the kerb and forming a pavement crossover usually requires approval from the highway authority. In the London Borough of Bromley, the council typically controls the application, standards and contractor requirements for works on the public footway. We can manage the council applications and permits, then deliver the installation to the required compliance and reinstatement standards.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our dropped kerb workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, movement of edging, or defects linked to installation quality. It also covers problems that arise from our reinstatement works within the warranted scope. Normal wear, accidental damage, and issues caused by third-party works or heavy vehicle misuse aren’t included. We’ll explain the warranty terms clearly before starting.
Options depend on council specification, but we can advise on kerb types, crossover widths and the best transition into your driveway. Popular driveway tie-ins include block paving, tarmac, resin-bound surfacing and concrete, chosen to suit your frontage and parking needs. We also consider gradients, drainage and edging details so the crossover looks intentional rather than patched in. We’ll recommend a design that meets compliance and complements your property.
