Tailored to Chatham Homes
Post-war housing across Chatham and Gillingham often has concrete floors requiring SDS drilling for fixings
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
Ask any of our customers near the Medway estuary what they value most about working with us, and you'll hear the same things: punctuality, fair pricing, and properly finished garden rooms work. We don't believe those should be rare qualities — but in this trade, they often are.
