Your questions answered

Do I need permission for car park surfacing in Failsworth?

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 Failsworth?

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

Is the survey in Failsworth 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.
