What we do on car park resurfacing
Car park resurfacing renews the wearing surface of an existing car park: either an overlay, laying a new surface course on top after repairs and a bond coat, or plane and inlay, milling off the worn layer and replacing it at the same level.
- Condition survey: cores or trial holes where failure is suspected
- Failed areas cut out and rebuilt before surfacing
- Planing to remove worn surface or at tie-ins
- Ironwork raised to the new level
- Lining and markings renewed

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.
