Different Clients, Different Needs in Margate
Owner-occupiers usually want lasting quality and a finish they're proud to live with.
Landlords typically want hard-wearing, compliant work with clear paperwork and minimal void time.
Why Margate Properties Are Different
Art Deco properties along the seafronts have distinctive interior features requiring specialist knowledge
Access & logistics: Thanet's seaside towns have seasonal parking pressures. We schedule work to avoid peak tourist periods where possible, and always arrange parking permits for restricted streets.
Seasonal tip: Thanet's exposed coastal position means strong winds are common, especially in winter. We build garden rooms and decking to withstand these conditions with reinforced fixings and wind-rated specifications.
Common Considerations for Thanet Properties
- Seafront properties with extreme salt exposure needing marine-grade materials
- High ceilings in Victorian villas requiring tower access for installation work
- Multiple-occupancy conversions (flats) requiring fire door compliance
Ask any of our customers near Westgate's clifftops what they value most about working with us, and you'll hear the same things: punctuality, fair pricing, and properly finished stairs work. We don't believe those should be rare qualities — but in this trade, they often are.
How We Work — Our Stairs Process
No guesswork on site. This is the order we work in on a banister replacement job in Margate:
- 1
Staircase Assessment
We inspect your existing staircase, identify what can be retained, and discuss your preferred style and materials. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
- 2
Design & Material Selection
Choose from oak, pine, glass, and metal components — we'll create a design that transforms your hallway. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Margate.
- 3
Careful Dismantling
Old spindles, handrails, treads, or cladding are carefully removed, preserving the structural strings and newel posts where possible. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Margate job.
- 4
New Component Installation
New treads, risers, spindles, newel posts, and handrails are fitted with precision for a solid, squeak-free staircase. You get a straight update at the end of this stage.
- 5
Finishing & Safety Check
All surfaces are sanded and finished, gaps are filled, and the staircase is checked for building regulation compliance. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Margate.
