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
Bond coat sprayed on the prepared surface
Ironwork raised to the new level

Questions about car park resurfacing jobs in Bath

How long will the work take at my Bath property?

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

Are there planning or highway rules in Bath?

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.
