Your questions answered

How quickly can work start in Kempston?

Often 1–2 weeks for a small car park, depending on drainage. We book Kempston surveys alongside other jobs in Bedfordshire, and give you dates once the specification is agreed.

Are there planning or highway rules in Kempston?

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.

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