How long does car park surfacing take in Croydon?

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

What approvals apply in Croydon?

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.
