Chobham Driveways: a local specification for GU24 properties
Chobham is a designated conservation village with period brick boundary walls, gravel verges and several Grade II listed cottages along the high street. Off the centre, paddock-edge plots and equestrian properties dominate, with clay-on-sand ground that holds water in winter. That is why our driveways quotes here start with the plot, access and levels, not a standard square metre allowance. A frequent brief is equestrian-edge resin or gravel drives that drain in winter, while the technical detail we test first is clay-heavy gardens that need deeper sub-base than the standard 150mm.

What changes the specification here
- Chobham 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 GU24 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.

“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 Chobham
- What changes the specification around Chobham?
- 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 Surrey Heath Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
- Can you cover West End as part of the same local run?
- Yes. West End sits within our normal Chobham working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
- What should I send before a GU24 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?
- Equestrian-edge resin or gravel drives that drain in winter. 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.
Is this the right route for your property?
For a Chobham project, the sensible next step is a measured visit: we can confirm access, levels and the right response to clay-heavy gardens that need deeper sub-base than the standard 150mm before pricing the work. This recommendation is scoped to Chobham driveways enquiries.
Measure first, quote once
Send the rough size and access photos; we will tell you what needs checking on site. Mention Chobham and driveways so we route the enquiry to the right survey notes.
