Tailored to Folkestone Homes
Romney Marsh properties around New Romney and Lydd have unique ground conditions and are often in flood zones
Access & logistics: Folkestone's steep streets and one-way systems around the Old Town require careful delivery planning. We use smaller vehicles and arrange parking in advance for town centre properties.
Seasonal tip: The Channel coast around Folkestone and Hythe is one of the sunniest spots in the UK but also exposed to strong south-westerly winds. External features need to be built to withstand these conditions.

FAQs From Real Customers
Can you build a bespoke gate in Folkestone?
Yes — we build custom gates in any size, style, and timber. From simple side gates to ornate front gates, we design and build to your exact requirements.
What does a garden gates quote for Folkestone include?
Labour, materials, fixings, waste removal and VAT where it applies, all itemised. We price Folkestone jobs after seeing the property, so the figure accounts for access, parking around CT20 and the condition of what is already there.
Will garden gates suit an older property in Folkestone?
A lot of Folkestone housing is Creative Quarter Victorian and seafront Edwardian, where walls are rarely square and floors rarely level. We scribe and pack rather than force a fit, which is why garden gates in older CT20 homes needs measuring on site rather than ordering off a plan.
