Car park resurfacing cost in Stanley: what should I budget?

As a 2026 guide in Stanley, car park resurfacing work runs at about £19–£33 per m² excluding VAT, so a 500 m² car park is roughly £9,300–£16,300. Drainage, kerbs and lining are itemised separately.

Is the survey in Stanley free?

Yes for new surfacing such as drives, paths, private roads and car parks. Small repairs are often priced from photos; if a visit is needed for a repair-only job, we tell you any charge first.

How long will the work take at my Stanley property?

Often 1–3 days for a small car park. We book Stanley surveys alongside other jobs in County Durham, and give you dates once the specification is agreed.

Are there planning or highway rules in Stanley?

Householder permitted development covers houses only. Car parks, yards, flats and business premises follow normal planning rules: resurfacing an existing area on the same footprint is generally fine, while a new car park, a change of use or new drainage may need permission. Check with the planning authority before any new hard area.
