Tailored to Chatham Homes
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 the A2 / M2 junction, 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.
