Send Driveways: a local specification for GU23 properties

Send is a strung-out village along the Wey canal with period cottages, 1960s-80s detached estates and a smaller cluster of newer-build around Cartbridge. The clay-and-canal-fill ground near the water is unstable enough that we engineer drives and patios with proper sub-base depths. That is why our driveways quotes here start with the plot, access and levels, not a standard square metre allowance. The technical detail we test first is shared driveways where the join into the neighbour's surface needs careful matching.

Joining a shared neighbour drive with a tidy mortar joint and matching surface course, relevant driveways detail for GU23 properties near Cartbridge

What changes the specification here

Send 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 GU23 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a tarmac driveway - the older properties where the existing apron sits below pavement level 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 Send

What changes the specification around Send?: 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 Guildford Borough Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Cartbridge as part of the same local run?: Yes. Cartbridge sits within our normal Send working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
What should I send before a GU23 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.

Is this the right route for your property?

For a Send project, the sensible next step is a measured visit: we can confirm access, levels and the right response to shared driveways where the join into the neighbour's surface needs careful matching before pricing the work. This recommendation is scoped to Send driveways enquiries.
