At Surfacing R Us, we are experienced dropped kerb and vehicle crossover contractors, providing professional vehicle access construction throughout London and the Home Counties. As an approved and authorised vehicle crossover contractor, we carry out high-quality dropped kerb installations that provide safe, legal and durable access from the public highway onto private property.
Whether you require a new residential vehicle crossover, commercial access road, industrial estate entrance or business vehicle access, our experienced highway maintenance and surfacing teams deliver every project to the highest standards of workmanship, safety and professionalism.
A professionally constructed dropped kerb is far more than simply lowering the kerbstones. Every installation must be carefully designed and constructed to ensure it safely accommodates vehicle movements whilst protecting the structural integrity of the footway, underground services and surrounding highway infrastructure.
Using premium construction materials, modern plant machinery and experienced operatives, Surfacing R Us delivers vehicle crossover installations that provide long-lasting performance whilst enhancing both accessibility and the appearance of your property.
From private residential driveways to commercial premises, schools, retail parks, industrial estates and business developments, we undertake projects of every size throughout Greater London and the Home Counties.
A vehicle crossover, often referred to as a dropped kerb, is the section of highway that allows vehicles to legally and safely cross the public footway between the carriageway and private land.
Rather than mounting a standard kerb, a properly constructed vehicle crossover provides a strengthened crossing point specifically designed to support repeated vehicle movements without damaging the footpath or underground services. A professionally installed vehicle crossover typically includes:
Every installation should be completed in accordance with the relevant highway authority’s specification and any applicable permissions.
Surfacing R Us provides a complete vehicle crossover installation service including:
From initial site inspection through to the completed crossover, our experienced team manages every stage of the project professionally.
Choosing an approved and authorised contractor is essential when carrying out works that affect the public highway. Vehicle crossover construction often involves work within adopted highways, footpaths and public infrastructure, meaning installations must be completed to the standards required by the relevant highway authority.
When you choose Surfacing R Us, you’re choosing an experienced contractor with the knowledge, equipment and expertise to carry out professional highway works safely and efficiently. Our team understands the importance of:
This gives our clients confidence that every project will be completed to a high professional standard.
Many homeowners require a new dropped kerb to create safe off-road parking or improve access to their property. Our residential vehicle crossover services include:
A professionally constructed vehicle crossover improves both convenience and the appearance of your property while providing safe access for vehicles.
Commercial developments often require wider, heavier-duty vehicle crossovers capable of accommodating frequent vehicle movements. Surfacing R Us constructs commercial vehicle access for:
These installations are designed to cope with heavier traffic and increased vehicle loading while maintaining a professional appearance.
At Surfacing R Us, we understand that every vehicle crossover project is unique. A private residential driveway has very different requirements from a commercial entrance serving industrial vehicles or a busy business park. That is why we carefully assess every project before recommending the most suitable construction method.
Whether you require a simple domestic vehicle crossover or a heavy-duty commercial access, our experienced team delivers every project with the same commitment to quality, safety and attention to detail.
Our vehicle crossovers are designed to provide safe, reliable access while complementing the surrounding highway and ensuring a professional finish that will stand the test of time.
Commercial premises often require wider and stronger vehicle crossovers capable of accommodating frequent use by larger vehicles. Surfacing R Us constructs commercial vehicle crossovers for:
Each crossover is designed to accommodate the expected traffic loading while maintaining the safety of pedestrians and road users.
A professionally installed dropped kerb allows homeowners to access off-road parking safely and conveniently. We regularly install new vehicle crossovers for:
A correctly installed vehicle crossover improves both the practicality and appearance of your property whilst helping to protect the public footway from damage caused by vehicles mounting standard kerbs.
Installing a dropped kerb usually involves reconstructing part of the existing footway to strengthen it for vehicle traffic. Our footway reconstruction works include:
Every footway is reconstructed using quality materials designed to withstand repeated vehicle loading.
Surfacing R Us installs all kerb types required for vehicle crossover construction. These include:
Every kerb is accurately aligned to provide a smooth and safe transition between the road and the vehicle crossover.
Where required, tactile paving is installed to assist visually impaired pedestrians and improve highway safety.
Our experienced team installs tactile paving in accordance with the relevant project specification and applicable highway requirements.
Once the structural works have been completed, Surfacing R Us installs premium asphalt surfacing to create a durable and professional vehicle crossing. Our surfacing works include:
Using premium materials ensures a long-lasting finish capable of withstanding daily vehicle use.
Many footways contain essential underground services including:
Our experienced operatives take great care throughout every project to protect existing services whilst completing the installation safely.

Our experienced team manages every stage of the project from the initial site survey through to completion, ensuring minimal disruption whilst maintaining the highest standards of workmanship.
Every successful vehicle crossover begins with a detailed site inspection. Our experienced surveyors assess:
This enables us to determine the most suitable construction method and provide an accurate quotation before work begins.
Vehicle crossover works often involve construction within the public highway.
Requirements vary depending on the location and the relevant highway authority. Before any work is carried out, the appropriate permissions and approvals must be in place where required.
As an approved and authorised vehicle crossover contractor, Surfacing R Us understands the standards expected for highway works and can guide clients through the process, helping to ensure projects progress as smoothly as possible.
Once approvals are in place, our team prepares the work area by carefully removing the existing construction. This typically includes:
Every stage is completed using modern plant machinery operated by experienced professionals.
Strong foundations are essential for a long-lasting vehicle crossover. Our construction process includes:
A properly constructed foundation prevents settlement whilst ensuring the finished crossover remains durable under repeated vehicle loading.
One of the most important elements of a vehicle crossover is strengthening the existing footpath. Unlike a standard footway designed for pedestrians, a vehicle crossover must support the weight of cars and, where appropriate, heavier vehicles.
Our footway strengthening works include:
This provides a durable crossing capable of withstanding years of regular use.
Every project undergoes rigorous quality checks throughout construction. These include:
Attention to detail throughout every stage ensures the completed crossover meets our high standards.
