Your questions answered

What is the price of private road surfacing in Peterborough?

As a 2026 guide in Peterborough, private road surfacing work runs at about £47–£84 per m² excluding VAT, so a 400 m² road is roughly £18,900–£33,600. Drainage, kerbs and lining are itemised separately.

Will someone visit before I get a fixed price in Peterborough?

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 private road surfacing in Peterborough?

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.
