Woking is a medium town of around 103,000 in Surrey. The housing is mostly period cottages, Edwardian villas and 1930s semi-detached housing alongside newer commuter developments.

Local trade prices sit on the expensive side for UK trade work. That's mostly wage levels plus the cost of running a van and a yard in and around Surrey.
