Questions about private road surfacing jobs in Haddington

How quickly can work start in Haddington?

Usually days rather than weeks; phased to keep access. We book Haddington surveys alongside other jobs in Edinburgh and the Lothians, and give you dates once the specification is agreed.

How much does private road surfacing cost in Haddington?

As a 2026 guide in Haddington, private road surfacing work runs at about £44–£78 per m² excluding VAT, so a 150 m² road is roughly £7,300–£12,950. Drainage, kerbs and lining are itemised separately.

What approvals apply in Haddington?

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.

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

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.
