Planning a block paving driveway around Odiham?

A block paving driveway in Odiham has to respond to more than a postcode. Odiham is a Georgian high street with one of Hampshire's strongest conservation overlays and the ruins of Odiham Castle by the canal. Plots are long and narrow off the high street with original brick walls that need careful repointing rather than replacement. We inspect access from A287, M3 J5 within 4 miles, Hook station within 3 miles. 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 hybrid worker 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 RG29 properties near North Warnborough

Read the plot before choosing the finish

  • Odiham 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 RG29 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.

I chose this company for a small block paved driveway job because of the positive reviews. The job was done efficiently in October 2020 but 6 months later it started to sink and now there is a puddle after rain in the middle of my driveway. I contacted Steve and sent photos with the warranty document. Steve came over once and left his business card. Steve promised to fix it by the end of October 2021 but this didn't happen.

Can you cover North Warnborough as part of the same local run?
Yes. North Warnborough sits within our normal Odiham working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a RG29 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 Odiham?
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 Hart District Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
