Planning a block paving driveway around Godalming?

A block paving driveway in Godalming has to respond to more than a postcode. Godalming has one of Surrey's strongest historic-town overlays, with timber-frame buildings in the centre and steep streets dropping towards the river Wey. The clay-and-greensand mix on the valley sides means retaining design and drainage are usually the controlling cost on landscaping here. We inspect access from A3100, A3 within 2 miles, Godalming and Farncombe stations direct to Waterloo. and build the quotation around shared brick-paved frontages where the new drive has to join a neighbour's soldier course cleanly, with materials and stages written down before work starts.

Page purpose

For access led briefs, a generic regional specification would miss the local plot conditions.

Blending a new block drive into a shared frontage without an obvious join, relevant block paving driveways detail for GU7 properties near Witley

Read the plot before choosing the finish

Godalming is inside our 30-mile core area, so site visits are arranged within a week and project supervision is daily, not weekly.
We've spent enough time on GU7, GU8 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a block paving driveway - the clay subsoils around Ottershaw, Fleet and Aldershot that need a deeper sub-base than the manufacturer minimum that gets missed when a national firm quotes from a desk.
Quotes are written, fixed and broken down by stage, with the same crew on site from day one through to clean-down.

“Steve did a great job at a reasonable price on a short close board fence and did another couple of small bits of work for us without any hassle too. He told me exactly what we could and couldn't do with the fence in a tricky position when quoting and had a good team to finish the job quickly once agreed.”

Sinking Block Paving: Why It Happens and What Repair Really Costs

FAQs - Block Paving Driveways in Godalming

Can you cover Witley as part of the same local run?: Yes. Witley sits within our normal Godalming working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU7 site visit?: A wide photo, approximate dimensions, access width and a note about the intended use are enough to make the first conversation useful.
How is the quote made specific to this property?: It records excavation or foundation assumptions, materials, disposal, access, programme and exclusions. The allowance is based on the measured site rather than copied from another town.
What changes the specification around Godalming?: The first local issue we check is shared brick-paved frontages where the new drive has to join a neighbour's soldier course cleanly. We also look at access, levels and whether Waverley Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
