A worn, pooling or breaking-up car park is the first thing a customer sees and a standing liability for the business that owns it. Paddway Surfacing Solutions resurfaces commercial car parks across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire, from small trade-unit yards to multi-bay retail and office car parks. Whether your surface needs a fresh overlay or a full reconstruction, the work is planned, quoted and carried out by Jamie Robinson, a surfacing contractor with 17 years in the trade.
Car park resurfacing is the laying of a new asphalt surface over a worn or failing car park, either as an overlay bonded to the existing base or as a full reconstruction down to a new sub-base. Done to standard, it restores a smooth, safe, water-tight surface that carries traffic loads and drains properly, and it is planned around your falls, gullies, ironwork and bay layout so the finished car park works exactly the way it should.
Which approach is right depends on the condition of what is already there. A surface that is worn on top but sound underneath usually takes an overlay. A car park that is rutted, cracked through, or holding water because the base has gone needs the failed layers taking out and rebuilding. Jamie tells you which one your site genuinely needs after a proper survey, never before, so the specification matches the car park rather than a standard menu.
Across commercial and private car parks throughout the region, this is the resurfacing work Paddway is trusted with most:
A new wearing course laid over a sound existing base, planed in at the edges and around ironwork so the levels stay right and water still runs to the gullies.
Failed surface and base excavated out, a new stone sub-base laid and compacted, then binder and surface courses laid to the correct falls. The right answer when the ground underneath has broken up.
Targeted repair of the worst areas where a full resurface is not yet needed, so you get more life out of the surface you have.
Surfaces laid to shed water to gullies and channels, with linear drainage and ironwork reset flush where the layout calls for it.
Bays, disabled spaces, arrows, hatching and no-parking areas set out and marked once the surface has cured.

I can't recommend Paddway Surfacing Solutions enough. Jamie was so easy to deal with, from the first consultation and listened to what we wanted. We had a tarmac driveway laid with a grey block paving border. The price was so reasonable and the job was well executed. Really pleased with the work.
Read more on GoogleA safer surface, and less liabilityA level, pothole-free car park removes the trip and vehicle-damage hazards that sit behind most claims, and looks after your customers and staff.
A car park that drainsLaid to the correct falls, water runs to the gullies instead of pooling into standing puddles and freeze-thaw damage over winter.
Kerb appeal that reflects the businessA clean, well-marked car park is the first impression a customer forms, and a worn one is the first thing they judge.
Years of hard-wearing serviceA correctly laid and maintained asphalt car park typically gives 15 to 20 years before it needs full resurfacing, making it one of the sounder surfaces a commercial site can invest in.

Bays and markings set out, the site left clean, and the work backed by our 3-year workmanship guarantee.
Commercial resurfacing is judged on whether the surface still holds up in five and ten years, and that comes down to getting the base and the drainage right before a drop of asphalt is laid. Standing water is the single biggest cause of car park failure: it works into cracks, freezes, and lifts the surface apart. Jamie surveys the falls and drainage first and builds the job around them, with the asphalt laid and compacted to BS 594987, the British Standard for asphalt surfacing, transport, laying and compaction. That is why the finished surface lasts rather than looking good for one summer.
You also get a contractor who understands that a car park has to keep working while it is being worked on. Jamie scales the right plant to the size of the site, plans the job in phases so the car park keeps trading, and reinstates ironwork and line marking as part of the same programme. Paddway carries £1 million public liability insurance, a blue CSCS card and an NRSWA street works ticket, and backs every job with a 3-year workmanship guarantee. The quote is free, written and without obligation, and Jamie both prices and works the job himself.
Car park resurfacing at Paddway is planned and led by Jamie Robinson, the owner. Jamie started in surfacing at 20 and has 17 years in the trade, laying driveways, car parks, private roads and hardstandings across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. He holds a blue CSCS card and an NRSWA street works ticket, and he quotes and runs every job personally.
“On a car park, the surface people see is the last five per cent of the job. The real work is the base and where the water goes. Get those right and the surface does its 15 or 20 years without complaint. That is what I survey for, and it is what I put my name and my guarantee behind.”Jamie Robinson, owner
We resurface car parks across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire from our Retford base, in towns including Doncaster, Newark, Lincoln, Worksop and Gainsborough.
Every car park is different, so an accurate price starts with a proper site survey. What shapes a car park resurfacing quote is the size and current condition of the surface, whether it needs an overlay or full reconstruction, the amount of excavation and sub-base work, any drainage or ironwork that has to be reset, the traffic loads the surface has to carry, and the line marking required afterwards.
What you can always count on: a free site survey, a clear written quote that sets out exactly what is being resurfaced and how the work is phased around your opening hours, and an honest, expert recommendation on whether an overlay, a partial repair or a full reconstruction is the right investment, so you know precisely what is being done and why before any work starts.
