Is the survey in Harwich free?

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.

Do I need permission for car park surfacing in Harwich?

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.

How quickly can work start in Harwich?

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