Built for Fetcham plots · Surrey

Driveways shaped around how Fetcham homes are built

A well specified tarmac driveway is a recurring reason people contact us from KT22. The surrounding housing and ground conditions matter: Fetcham is a low-rise residential village between Leatherhead and Bookham with 1930s-60s detached and semi-detached homes around The Ridgeway. Chalk-on-clay ground gives erratic drainage and the seasonal swing can crack rigid edges. For this service, that leads us to check shared driveways where the join into the neighbour's surface needs careful matching before recommending a finish or construction method.

Fetcham constraints worth pricing properly

  • Fetcham 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 KT22 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

We're insured to £5m public liability, registered for waste carriage, and every Fetcham job is signed off in person rather than from photos.

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 Fetcham

What should I send before a KT22 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 Fetcham?
The first local issue we check is shared driveways where the join into the neighbour's surface needs careful matching. We also look at access, levels and whether Mole Valley District Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Ashtead as part of the same local run?
Yes. Ashtead sits within our normal Fetcham 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 Ashtead or elsewhere in KT22, 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 Fetcham driveways enquiries.
