Your questions answered

What is the price of car park resurfacing in Manchester?

As a 2026 guide in Manchester, car park resurfacing work runs at about £19–£34 per m² excluding VAT, so a 200 m² car park is roughly £3,900–£6,800. Drainage, kerbs and lining are itemised separately.

Can I get a free survey in Manchester?

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.

Are there planning or highway rules in Manchester?

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 long does car park resurfacing take in Manchester?

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