If you’re creating off-street parking near Tulse Hill station or improving access by Brockwell Park, a properly built crossover is essential. We design and construct dropped kerbs and vehicle crossovers that meet London Borough of Lambeth requirements. Our team handles the practicalities, from traffic management considerations to reinstating footways neatly. Everything is built for daily use, not just for appearance.
Tulse Hill’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often have shallow front gardens, existing walls and narrow access points. Post-war estates can bring different constraints, such as shared footpaths and service routes. We plan crossover widths, gradients and turning space to suit real parking needs and vehicle sizes. Where neighbouring boundaries are tight, we help you choose layouts that reduce manoeuvring and protect brickwork and planting.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and advice on the best position for the dropped kerb. We support council applications and provide planning guidance where needed, then build the crossover using compliant construction details and proper drainage. You’ll get clear timelines, tidy working practices and a finish that blends with the street scene. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across SW2, we often deal with sloping streets, mature street trees and tight parking controls. In the vehicle crossovers tulse hill area, footway construction and existing utilities can affect depths, edging details and drainage routes. We coordinate designs to suit Lambeth’s crossover specifications and help avoid common application delays. If you’re near Brixton, Herne Hill or West Norwood, we’ll plan access so it works in everyday traffic conditions.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with crossover width, footway construction, drainage needs and the surface finish. As a guide, many homeowners in SW2 budget around £2,500–£6,500 for construction works, with more complex jobs (utility diversions, extensive reinstatement or larger entrances) rising to £7,000–£12,000+. Council application fees and any required inspections are separate, and we’ll outline these clearly after a site survey.
Typical build time is 2–5 working days once approvals are in place, depending on excavation depth, reinstatement area and weather. If drainage channels, new edging, or multiple surface layers are required, allow closer to a week. The council approval stage can take several weeks, so we help you plan the programme around Lambeth’s timescales and any parking suspensions needed.
For many front garden and driveway changes, planning permission isn’t required, but a dropped kerb and access over the public footway always needs council approval. Lambeth will assess visibility, pedestrian safety, tree impacts and footway construction. We provide planning support, check whether permeable surfacing is needed, and guide you through the application so the crossover is built to the correct specification and signed off properly.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our crossover construction workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by improper sub-base preparation, edging movement and installation-related defects. It also covers drainage elements we install, where applicable. Normal wear, accidental damage and problems caused by third-party works (for example, utility excavations) aren’t included, but we’ll always advise on maintenance and can carry out repairs if needed.
We can construct crossovers to suit most finishes, including tarmac, block paving, resin-bound surfacing and concrete, with edging options to match your frontage. For period homes, sympathetic block patterns and kerb details can complement Victorian brickwork, while modern properties often suit cleaner lines and resin. We’ll recommend permeable solutions where appropriate, confirm levels and falls, and help you choose a design that meets council requirements and looks right.
