What is the price of car park resurfacing in Grays?

As a 2026 guide in Grays, car park resurfacing work runs at about £21–£37 per m² excluding VAT, so a 1,000 m² car park is roughly £19,300–£33,800. Drainage, kerbs and lining are itemised separately.

Do I need permission for car park resurfacing in Grays?

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 Grays?

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

Can I get a free survey in Grays?

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.
