Romford: common questions

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

As a 2026 guide in Romford, 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.

What approvals apply in Romford?

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 long will the work take at my Romford property?

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

Is the survey in Romford 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.
