Your questions answered

Car park surfacing cost in Eltham: what should I budget?

As a 2026 guide in Eltham, car park surfacing work runs at about £60–£102 per m² excluding VAT, so a 200 m² car park is roughly £12,000–£20,400. Drainage, kerbs and lining are itemised separately.

Can I get a free survey in Eltham?

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 Eltham?

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 Eltham?

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