Working in Portsmouth
Portsmouth is about 15.5 miles from Southampton, with Southsea (1.1 mi), Gosport (1.7 mi) and Fareham (5.3 mi) close by. Survey visits in Portsmouth cover the PO1, PO5, PO2 postcode districts and the surrounding area.
Across Portsmouth, many front drives are compact, so access, skips and parking for the crew are planned at survey. In Portsmouth we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property.

Planning in Portsmouth
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.

Often, yes. Tell us where you saw it or show us a photo, and we will bring the closest blends to the survey to compare in daylight.
