Chichester: common questions
What is the price of private road surfacing in Chichester?
As a 2026 guide in Chichester, private road surfacing work runs at about £50–£88 per m² excluding VAT, so a 900 m² road is roughly £41,000–£72,850. Drainage, kerbs and lining are itemised separately.
How long does private road surfacing take in Chichester?
Usually days rather than weeks; phased to keep access. We book Chichester surveys alongside other jobs in West Sussex, and give you dates once the specification is agreed.
What approvals apply in Chichester?
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.
Is the survey in Chichester free?
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.
