Built for Bordon plots · Hampshire

Driveways shaped around how Bordon homes are built

Replacing developer block paving with hot-laid tarmac is a recurring reason people contact us from GU35. The surrounding housing and ground conditions matter: Bordon is in the middle of a major military-to-civilian regeneration with thousands of new homes by Taylor Wimpey, Bovis and Bellway alongside the older 1960s-80s estates from the garrison days. Newer estates have shallow developer drives that often need full rebuild rather than overlay. For this service, that leads us to check clay-heavy gardens that need deeper sub-base than the standard 150mm before recommending a finish or construction method.

Bordon constraints worth pricing properly

  • Bordon 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 GU35 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a tarmac driveway - the sloped plots that need ACO drainage at the threshold to keep water away from the house 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.

Why the specification is accountable

Workmanship on every Bordon project is guaranteed and we return for snag visits within two weeks of completion if anything needs adjusting.

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.

FAQs - Driveways in Bordon

What should I send before a GU35 site visit?
A wide photo, approximate dimensions, access width and a note about the intended use are enough to make the first conversation useful.
Which local brief do you see most often?
Replacing developer block paving with hot-laid tarmac. We still design from the individual plot, but that need is a useful starting point for discussing scope and budget.
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 Bordon?
The first local issue we check is clay-heavy gardens that need deeper sub-base than the standard 150mm. We also look at access, levels and whether East Hampshire District Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Whitehill as part of the same local run?
Yes. Whitehill sits within our normal Bordon working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.

A useful next step

If your property sits towards Whitehill or elsewhere in GU35, send a photo and rough dimensions first. We can usually identify the decisions that need an on-site check before arranging the visit. This recommendation is scoped to Bordon driveways enquiries.

Get the local specification in writing

Talk through the intended use, then receive a quote based on this plot rather than an online average. Mention Bordon and driveways so we route the enquiry to the right survey notes.
