Working in Ipswich
Ipswich is the main centre for our work in Suffolk, with Felixstowe (10.6 mi), Stowmarket (11.2 mi) and Sudbury (18.1 mi) close by. Survey visits in Ipswich cover the IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4 postcode districts and the surrounding area.
Ipswich has a broad mix of housing, from terraces near the centre to detached homes on the edges. In Ipswich we can price work such as adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car.

Planning in Ipswich
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
