New surface course, typically 40 mm, laid by paver and rolled

Your questions answered

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

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.

Which Dover postcodes do you cover?

We cover Dover including CT17, CT16, CT15, and nearby Folkestone, Deal, Canterbury.

Do I need permission for car park resurfacing in Dover?

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 Dover?

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