Your Local Andover Driveway Specialists
Test Valley Paving is based just outside Andover, in Weyhill, so when we say we’re your local driveway and paving contractor, we mean it literally — you can usually get one of us round for a site visit the same week, not the same month.
We’ve been doing this since the 1960s, three generations of the same family, which means we’ve laid driveways in most corners of Andover at some point: Charlton, East Anton, Portway, Upper Clatford, Goodworth Clatford, Anna Valley, Abbotts Ann, Weyhill itself, Penton Mewsey, Enham Alamein, Chilbolton, and out towards Ludgershall and Tidworth too. Andover’s mix of chalk downland and clay means what works for a driveway in one street won’t necessarily work two roads over, and getting the groundwork wrong is the single biggest reason driveways fail early. We know which bits of Andover drain well and which need proper sub-base preparation before a single block goes down.
Whatever you’re after, we install it: tarmac driveways, block paving, resin bound surfaces, natural stone and concrete patios, full garden landscaping and road or kerb work for private roads and shared drives.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you fit in a driveway in Andover?
Most Andover jobs get a site visit within a week of getting in touch, and a start date within a few weeks after that. Spring and early summer are our busiest stretch, so autumn and winter enquiries tend to get earlier start dates.
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway in Andover?
Usually not, provided the surface is permeable or the water drains onto your own land rather than the road. We’ll flag it during the quote if your specific job looks like an exception.
What's the best driveway surface for Andover's soil?
It varies street to street because of the chalk and clay mix common around Andover — we check ground conditions on the site visit and recommend the sub-base and surface accordingly.
Do you offer a guarantee on driveways installed in Andover?
Yes — full details are confirmed in writing with your quote, and cover both materials and workmanship.
Which villages around Andover do you cover?
All of them, generally — see the list above. If you’re just outside it, get in touch anyway; it’s rarely a problem.
