Serving Lyminge & Folkestone

Tailored to Lyminge Homes
Seafront properties along the Leas and Sandgate require corrosion-resistant fixings and materials
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.
Common Considerations for Folkestone & Hythe Properties
