Whitehill Driveways: a local specification for GU35 properties

Whitehill blends into Bordon on its eastern edge and is dominated by 1960s-90s estates with predictable plot sizes. The greensand soil here is light and free-draining but loses fines easily, so block-paving joints need polymeric sand rather than kiln-dried for any longevity. That is why our driveways quotes here start with the plot, access and levels, not a standard square metre allowance. A frequent brief is re-jointing failed block paving with polymeric sand, while the technical detail we test first is shared driveways where the join into the neighbour's surface needs careful matching.

Widening a single-car drive to a comfortable two-car layout with a clean edge detail, relevant driveways detail for GU35 properties near Greatham

What changes the specification here

  • Whitehill 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 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.

Evidence relevant to this brief

We're insured to £5m public liability, registered for waste carriage, and every Whitehill 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 Whitehill

What changes the specification around Whitehill?
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 East Hampshire District Council needs to be involved before fixing the construction detail.
Can you cover Greatham as part of the same local run?
Yes. Greatham sits within our normal Whitehill working cluster, so it can be grouped with nearby surveys rather than treated as a distant call-out.
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?
Re-jointing failed block paving with polymeric sand. 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 Whitehill 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 Whitehill driveways enquiries.
