Your questions answered

Are there planning or highway rules in Poole?

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.

How quickly can work start in Poole?

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

Do you cover all of Poole?

We cover Poole including BH15, BH14, BH17, BH16, and nearby Bournemouth, Wimborne Minster, Ferndown.

Will someone visit before I get a fixed price in Poole?

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.
