Built for Frensham plots · Surrey

Driveways shaped around how Frensham homes are built

A well specified tarmac driveway is a recurring reason people contact us from GU10. The surrounding housing and ground conditions matter: Frensham is famous for the Great and Little ponds and surrounded by National Trust commons. The village is mostly period cottages and 1930s detached homes, with sand-and-peat ground near the ponds that needs proper geotextile separation under any patio or drive. 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.

Frensham constraints worth pricing properly

  • Frensham 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 GU10 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 Frensham 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 Frensham

What should I send before a GU10 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 Frensham?
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 Waverley Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Tilford as part of the same local run?
Yes. Tilford sits within our normal Frensham 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 Tilford or elsewhere in GU10, 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 Frensham driveways enquiries.
