Your questions answered

Do you work in my part of Carterton?

We cover Carterton including OX18, and nearby Witney, Oxford, Abingdon.

How long does private road surfacing take in Carterton?

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

What approvals apply in Carterton?

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 Carterton?

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.
