Local Coverage — Chatham & Surrounding Areas
We cover the ME4 postcode district for garden gates, roughly 1 miles from Rochester, just 1 miles from Rochester. Access is straightforward via the A2 and M2 J3, so we keep call-outs and material runs efficient.
Why Chatham Properties Are Different
Rochester's historic high street has many Grade II listed buildings — we're experienced with conservation-grade joinery and period-appropriate materials
Access & logistics: Properties in Rochester High Street and Chatham town centre have restricted access — we plan deliveries for early morning and use smaller vehicles where necessary.
Seasonal tip: Medway's proximity to the Thames estuary means coastal humidity — we recommend moisture-resistant materials for kitchens and bathrooms, particularly in properties near the river.
Common Considerations for Medway Properties
- Concrete subfloors in post-war housing that need levelling compound before flooring
- Plasterboard walls in 1960s builds that struggle to support heavy wall units without reinforcement
- Narrow hallways in terraced houses requiring careful planning for staircase and storage work
Chatham sits near Chatham Historic Dockyard, and we're often passing through on our way to projects in this part of Medway. That regular presence means quick site visits, fast quote turnarounds, and faster start dates than firms travelling from further afield.
Our Garden Gates Scope of Work

What Chatham Homes Typically Need
Working on Edwardian townhouse in Chatham is very different from working on a naval dockyard conversion. We carry the fixings, materials and experience for both — useful when garden gates jobs span more than one type of property.
Step-by-Step: Our Landscaping Service
From the first measure in Chatham to handover, your garden gates project moves through these stages:

Design & Planning
We create a detailed landscape plan including materials, planting schemes, drainage, and a phased timeline if needed. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Chatham.
- 3
Site Clearance & Groundwork
The site is cleared of debris, old materials are removed, and essential groundwork including drainage and levels is completed. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Chatham.
- 4
Hard Landscaping
Structural elements are built — patios, paths, walls, fencing, decking, and any raised features or edging. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Chatham job.
- 5
Soft Landscaping & Planting
Lawns are laid, borders are prepared, and planting schemes are installed with appropriate soil improvement. You get a straight update at the end of this stage.
- 6
Final Touches
Lighting, decorative features, and finishing touches are added. We walk you through maintenance advice for your new garden. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
