Your questions answered

How quickly can work start in Garston?

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

What approvals apply in Garston?

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.

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.
