Car Park Surfacing for the Public and Private Sector
Harrington Brothers Contractors specialise in car park surfacing for local authorities, facilities managers, schools and businesses across Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and London.
We work with many local authorities, including the councils of Barnet, Hertsmere, Tower Hamlets and Brentwood, to produce attractive, long lasting surfaces, alongside road construction and road repairs and pothole repairs.
Our commercial portfolio includes a 10,000 m² project for Ashtead Plant Hire.
Car park surfacing is one of our core services, with numerous projects delivered every year.
From a small private car park behind a parade of shops to a large commercial site, the approach is the same: proper preparation, the finest materials for the smoothest installation, and a finish designed to withstand heavy daily use while keeping an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Our surfaces give commercial and public spaces a safe, long lasting result, and our expert team delivers professional results every time.
New Car Parks and Refurbishment Projects
A brand new car park or a tired one that needs refurbishing: either way, we handle the full project.
That starts below the surface.
We excavate and build up the sub-base correctly so the finished car park drains properly and carries the loads it’s designed for, then lay machine laid tarmacadam for a smooth, consistent finish.
We offer a range of surfacing materials to suit any budget or specification:
- Tarmacadam: the workhorse for high traffic commercial car parks
- Permeable paving: SUDS friendly surfaces that manage rainwater on site
- Block paving: for premium frontages and defined parking areas
Where the existing surface is sound, targeted pothole repairs and tarmac patching can extend its life at a fraction of the cost of full resurfacing.
We’ll tell you honestly which route makes sense for your site.
No hard sell, and if a repair will do the job, we’ll say so.
Car Park Surfacing and Line Marking From One Contractor
A car park is only finished once the markings are down.
When the surface is laid, our teams apply all necessary bay markings, disabled spaces, directional arrows and road markings through our thermoplastic line marking service.
One contractor, one programme, one point of accountability: no coordinating separate trades, and no gap between surfacing and marking that leaves your car park unusable.
Because we run our own plant and machinery, we control the schedule ourselves.
We can phase works so part of the car park stays open, or complete the job in a single closure, whichever suits your operation, work is always scheduled to fit your timescales, not ours.
Every project starts with a proper site assessment: we check drainage, falls, existing sub-base condition and access before we quote, so the price you’re given is the price you pay and the programme holds.
Accredited and Insured for Commercial Work
For facilities managers and procurement teams, the essentials are in place: SafeContractor, CHAS and Constructionline accreditations, RISQS and CIRAS for rail environment sites, and £10 million public liability insurance.
All surfaces are fully guaranteed, 90% of our work comes from recommendations and referrals, and finance options including 0% APR are available on eligible works.
We’re a family firm with over 50 years in surfacing, a leading provider of high quality surfaces across Chelmsford, Epping and Brentwood along with the surrounding areas, and we cover Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and London.
