Urmston: common questions

Do you cover all of Urmston?

We cover Urmston including M41, and nearby Stretford, Sale, Eccles.

Do I need permission for private road surfacing in Urmston?

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 does private road surfacing take in Urmston?

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

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

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.
