Questions about car park surfacing jobs in Penicuik

How long will the work take at my Penicuik property?

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

Do I need permission for car park surfacing in Penicuik?

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.
