Re-Surfacing FAQs
We know how complex resurfacing projects can be, so we offer friendly and knowledgeable advice so you can feel free to approach us with any questions you have. To give you an insight into what to expect when hiring our surfacing contractors, here are the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
What services do your surfacing contractors offer?
We offer a wide range of surfacing solutions, including driveways (tarmac, block paving, gravel, resin-bound), patios, playgrounds, roads, potholes, car parks and more. We also take on specialist projects like groundworks, thermoplastic line marking and monoblock paving.
Can you work with us?
We partner with property owners, commercial clients, building contractors and local authorities. Whether you need a new driveway or office car park repairs, we tailor our solutions to your specific needs.
How long do surfacing projects take to complete
The duration of a surfacing project will vary from case to case, depending on the ground size, specific service required and job complexity. Resurfacing jobs typically take anywhere between a few days to a couple of weeks. When you get in touch, we’ll provide a free quote, site visit and estimate timescales to give you a clearer idea about what to expect.

When can I start using my resurfaced patio or driveway?
Our resurfacing contractors will always let you know when it’s okay to walk on your newly laid patio or driveway. While some surfaces will probably be okay to use straight away, it’s often best to wait 24 to 48 hours. Some driveways will need longer if they will have lots of use from heavy vehicles. It just depends on the curing and setting times of the resurfacing material used.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
In most cases, you won’t need planning permission to lay a new driveway. However, you may need to liaise with your local authority if there are extra drainage considerations, drop kerbs needed or your project meets certain criteria. We can advise you on this during your site visit.
Can you do pothole repairs?
Absolutely. UK Surfacings is a pothole repair specialist, using high-quality materials and techniques to ensure a smooth, durable finish.
How do I know if I need resurfacing services?
Signs you need to hire a resurfacing contractor include cracks, uneven surfaces, potholes, faded markings, drainage issues (e.g. water pooling on the surface), loose gravel, safety concerns and aesthetical upgrades required.
