Commercial paving and surfacing across Bristol.

Car parks, forecourts, pedestrian areas and access roads for commercial clients across Bristol and South Gloucestershire. Phased works, traffic management and full project management, delivered with minimum disruption.

About commercial

Built to commercial spec, scheduled around your trading hours.

We work for commercial clients across Bristol in retail, hospitality, education, healthcare and light industrial. From a 50m² shop forecourt to a 2,000m² retail car park, you get the same project management approach: phased works, clear timelines, traffic management as standard, and finishes specified for the daily wear they'll actually see.

We schedule around your trading hours, with out-of-hours pours, weekend laying and phased line-marking, and project-manage the full job from the dropped-kerb application through to final hand-over. All projects come with full method statements, RAMS and our £5m public liability cover.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you work out-of-hours?

Yes, we do regularly for retail and hospitality clients across Bristol. Night pours, weekend laying and phased close-downs are all priced into the original quote. We'll sequence the project around your trading hours to keep disruption to a minimum.

Do you provide method statements and RAMS?

As standard on every commercial job, before mobilisation. Method statement, RAMS and traffic management plan submitted in writing for your sign-off. Our £5m public liability cover applies on every commercial site.

Can you handle a council dropped-kerb application?

Yes, we handle the full Bristol City Council application, fees and licensed install on your behalf. We'll also coordinate with statutory undertakers if there are services to lower or divert.

What's the typical commercial lead time?

From sign-off, 4 to 8 weeks for most jobs depending on size and scheduling. Detailed projects with traffic management, statutory diversions or council coordination can take longer; we'll always give a clear programme up front.

Do you offer a maintenance contract?

Yes, we offer annual maintenance and inspection contracts for commercial car parks and forecourts. Annual jet-wash, line-marking refresh, re-seal and crack repair, all programmed to fit your trading calendar.
