If your Chatham home is overdue some attention, shed installation is one of the highest-impact ways to refresh it. DP Carpentry Property Services has worked on post-war semis, modern developments, and everything in between across Medway. We know which materials suit which properties, which finishes hold up, and which trends are worth following — and which aren't.
We handle the complete shed installation from base preparation to assembly, ensuring your new shed is level, secure, and ready to use. We can also add shelving, workbenches, and electrical supply.

What We've Learned Working Across Chatham
Properties near the river in Strood and Rochester can experience seasonal damp — we factor this into material choices
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's position near Rochester Castle area gives it a distinctive character, and the homes here reflect that. We tailor our shed installation approach to suit — drawing on years of experience working in this exact area.
Shed Installation — Tailored to Your Property Type
Owner-occupiers usually want lasting quality and a finish they're proud to live with.
Downsizers want maximum storage and clean lines in smaller, simpler layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can you start shed installation in Chatham?
We usually get to Chatham for a free measure within a few days, and smaller shed installation jobs around ME4 often start the following week. Larger work is booked around material lead times, and we confirm the start date in writing before anything is ordered.
Which streets and villages near Chatham do you cover?
As well as Chatham itself, we regularly work in Rochester, Gillingham, Strood. It is all inside the Medway Council area, so there is no travel charge on top of your shed installation quote.
Will shed installation suit an older property in Chatham?
A lot of Chatham housing is Edwardian townhouse and post-war semi, where walls are rarely square and floors rarely level. We scribe and pack rather than force a fit, which is why shed installation in older ME4 homes needs measuring on site rather than ordering off a plan.
What does a shed installation quote for Chatham include?
Labour, materials, fixings, waste removal and VAT where it applies, all itemised. We price Chatham jobs after seeing the property, so the figure accounts for access, parking around ME4 and the condition of what is already there.
Do you build the base as well in Chatham?
Yes — we prepare concrete slab, paving, or timber frame bases depending on the shed type and ground conditions. A proper base is essential for the shed's longevity.
Can you add electricity to a shed in Chatham?
Yes — we can run an armoured cable from your house to the shed for lighting, power sockets, and even heating. All electrical work is certified to Part P regulations.
