Why Dover Properties Are Different
Dover's coastal properties experience salt-laden air that accelerates corrosion — we use marine-grade fixings and treated timber for any exposed work
Access & logistics: Dover's steep topography means some properties have challenging access. We assess this during the initial survey and plan accordingly for material handling and scaffolding.
Seasonal tip: Coastal exposure in Dover means external carpentry needs to withstand salt spray and high winds. We use stainless steel fixings and recommend composite or treated hardwood over softwood for any external work.
Common Considerations for Dover Properties
- Salt air corrosion requiring marine-grade hardware and treated timber
- Chalk and flint walls requiring specialist drilling and fixings
- Exposed coastal locations requiring wind-resistant construction for garden rooms and decking
Ask any of our customers near Dover Castle what they value most about working with us, and you'll hear the same things: punctuality, fair pricing, and properly finished kitchen work. We don't believe those should be rare qualities — but in this trade, they often are.
