Getting your car smoothly onto your property shouldn't involve mounting kerbs or navigating narrow gaps. Throughout DA5, homeowners increasingly recognise how a properly constructed crossover changes daily convenience. Victorian terraces in Old Bexley often present unique challenges with their original narrow frontages, whilst newer estates near Crayford require different approaches entirely. Each installation demands careful planning to meet council specifications whilst maximising your available space.
Council-approved crossovers involve more than simply dropping a kerb. Proper drainage prevents water pooling - crucial given how many Bexley properties sit on London clay that shifts seasonally. The construction process integrates reinforced foundations capable of handling vehicle weights without cracking or sinking. Materials match existing pavements whilst ensuring longevity, whether that's traditional concrete blocks popular in Sidcup's residential streets or the resin-bound surfaces increasingly seen near Bexleyheath Station.
Local knowledge matters when navigating Bexley Council's crossover policies. Years of working across the borough means understanding which applications sail through and which need extra documentation. Rather than generic solutions, each project reflects the specific requirements of your street and property type.

Council approval typically takes 6-8 weeks, with construction completed within 3-5 days once approved. Weather permitting, you're usually driving on your new entrance within two months of application.
Every crossover carries decade-long coverage against structural failure or settlement. This includes the dropped kerb section, reinforced sub-base, and surface materials - essentially everything from pavement edge to your boundary.
Definitely - ducting for EV cables can be incorporated during construction, future-proofing your entrance. Many Bexley residents now request this, particularly those upgrading from older single-width crossovers.
