Questions about car park surfacing jobs in Folkestone

Is the survey in Folkestone 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.

How quickly can work start in Folkestone?

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

What approvals apply in Folkestone?

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.
