Planning a block paving driveway around Wonersh?

A block paving driveway in Wonersh has to respond to more than a postcode. Wonersh is a small conservation village with timber-frame cottages, a brick-and-tile high street and the Wonersh Park estate on the southern edge. Weald clay subsoil shrinks badly in dry summers, so we treat shrink-swell as the controlling risk on every foundation and patio scope. We inspect access from B2128, A281 within 2 miles, no station - Shalford within 3 miles. and build the quotation around properties where the existing drive lacks kerb restraint, causing the outer blocks to walk out over time, 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.

Removing tired tarmac and laying block paving with a permeable sub-base to meet SuDS, relevant block paving driveways detail for GU5 properties near Shalford

Read the plot before choosing the finish

Wonersh 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 GU5 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.”

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

A sinking block-paved drive is almost never a jointing-sand problem. It's a sub-base problem, and the cost gap between a spot repair and a full re-lay is the difference between £280 and £4,800.

FAQs - Block Paving Driveways in Wonersh

Can you cover Shalford as part of the same local run?: Yes. Shalford sits within our normal Wonersh working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU5 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 Wonersh?: The first local issue we check is properties where the existing drive lacks kerb restraint, causing the outer blocks to walk out over time. We also look at access, levels and whether Waverley Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
