Prestwich: common questions

How long will the work take at my Prestwich property?

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

What approvals apply in Prestwich?

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.
