Middleton: common questions
Can I get a free survey in Middleton?
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 you work in my part of Middleton?

What approvals apply in Middleton?
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 long will the work take at my Middleton property?
Usually days rather than weeks; phased to keep access. We book Middleton surveys alongside other jobs in Greater Manchester, and give you dates once the specification is agreed.
