Local Knowledge — Working in Gillingham
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
Our team has spent countless days working on decking jobs around Rochester Castle area and the wider Gillingham area. Every project adds to the practical, on-the-ground knowledge we bring to your home.
Our Proven Decking Process
Every trex decking project we take on in Gillingham follows the same clear sequence, so you always know what happens next:
- 1
Garden Survey
We visit your garden, assess the ground conditions, and discuss your requirements — size, shape, levels, and material preference. Older Gillingham properties often need extra care here, so we allow time for it.
- 2
Decking Design
We create a design including dimensions, board direction, step positions, and any additional features like lighting or balustrades. This is where the detail of your trex decking in Gillingham gets pinned down.
- 3
Ground Preparation
The area is cleared, levelled, and prepared with a weed membrane. Concrete pads or adjustable pedestals are positioned for the framework. On trex decking jobs in Gillingham this is where most of the questions get answered.
- 4
Framework Construction
A strong, level joist framework is constructed from treated timber, with proper spacing and ventilation for long-term durability. Older Gillingham properties often need extra care here, so we allow time for it.
- 5
Board Laying
Decking boards are laid with consistent spacing, secured with screws or hidden clips, and trimmed neatly at all edges. Materials are checked against the Gillingham quote before this stage starts.
- 6
Finishing & Extras
Steps, fascia boards, balustrades, and lighting are installed. The deck is cleaned and any staining or oiling is applied. On trex decking jobs in Gillingham this is where most of the questions get answered.
Access and parking in Gillingham are agreed before we start, so nothing stalls mid-job.
