If you need a new dropped kerb and proper vehicle access, we handle the complete crossover from application to finish. We work across CR0, including routes near Addiscombe tram stop and towards East Croydon where parking and access can be tight. Our team designs the crossover to suit your frontage, footway levels and visibility. You get a compliant, durable entrance that protects the pavement and your vehicle.
Addiscombe has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, often with short front gardens and shared boundaries. That means crossover widths, turning space and drainage need careful planning to avoid water running onto the highway. We’re used to working with existing brick walls, bay windows and mature planting while keeping disruption low. Where access is restricted, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep the street clear.
We start with a site survey, confirm council requirements, then provide a clear specification and programme. Our service includes planning support, council applications, crossover construction, drainage and reinstatement of the footway. Work is completed to the required build-up and levels, with tidy edges and a clean finish. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Vehicle crossovers Addiscombe area often involve narrow frontages, on-street parking and busy footways near tram routes. We design for safe entry angles, pedestrian visibility and the levels needed to avoid scraping. In the London Borough of Croydon, specifications for kerbs, materials and reinstatement can be strict, so we build to the required standard and document the work. We also account for drainage and existing services commonly found in older streets.

Costs vary with width, footway construction, drainage needs and whether reinstatement is extensive. As a guide, a straightforward dropped kerb and crossover construction often starts from around £2,500–£4,500. Larger crossovers, additional drainage channels, or complex reinstatement can take it to £5,000–£9,000+. Council fees and any required inspections are usually separate; we’ll outline these clearly after a survey.
For many homes in CR0, on-site works typically take 2–5 working days once approvals are in place. Timescales depend on the crossover size, excavation depth, weather, curing time for concrete, and whether drainage or utility adjustments are needed. If the footway needs significant reinstatement, allow extra time. We provide a realistic programme and keep access safe and tidy throughout.
In most cases, creating a driveway surface in your front garden can be permitted development, but a dropped kerb and work to the public footway always requires council approval. The London Borough of Croydon will set requirements for kerb types, construction depths, gradients and drainage so water doesn’t run onto the highway. We check constraints, help with applications, and ensure the finished crossover meets the relevant standards.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our crossover construction workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, and surface failures linked to installation. It also covers drainage components we install, where failure is due to workmanship rather than external damage or blocked gullies from lack of maintenance. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we explain care requirements at handover.
We can construct crossovers in block paving, tarmac/asphalt, resin-bound surfacing, or concrete, depending on council requirements and the look you want. Many Addiscombe homeowners choose block paving to match existing paths, while tarmac suits wider entrances and high-use driveways. We’ll advise on edging, gradients, drainage channels and finish details, then provide samples and layout options so the crossover complements your property frontage.
