Swansea: common questions

What is the price of car park resurfacing in Swansea?

As a 2026 guide in Swansea, car park resurfacing work runs at about £19–£33 per m² excluding VAT, so a 500 m² car park is roughly £9,500–£16,600. Drainage, kerbs and lining are itemised separately.

Do I need permission for car park resurfacing in Swansea?

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.

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.
