Different Clients, Different Needs in Rochester
New-build buyers often need snagging, upgrades, or features the developer didn't include.
Full renovators want one team across multiple trades with a single point of contact.
Why Rochester Properties Are Different
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
Ask any of our customers near Chatham Historic Dockyard what they value most about working with us, and you'll hear the same things: punctuality, fair pricing, and properly finished trim & finishing work. We don't believe those should be rare qualities — but in this trade, they often are.
How We Work — Our Trim & Finishing Process
Every skirting board fitting project we take on in Rochester follows the same clear sequence, so you always know what happens next:
- 1
Removal of Old Trim
Existing skirting or architrave is carefully removed and the wall surface is prepared for new fittings. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Rochester.
- 2
Profile Selection
Select your preferred profile and height from our extensive range — or provide your own for us to fit. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
- 3
Precise Cutting
Every length is measured and cut to fit, with mitred corners on external angles and scribed joints on internal angles. You get a straight update at the end of this stage.
- 4
Secure Fixing
Trim is fixed securely to the wall using adhesive and pins, with consistent height and alignment throughout. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Rochester job.
- 5
Gap Filling & Finish
All gaps, nail holes, and joints are filled with decorator's caulk and filler, sanded, and left paint-ready. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
One team sees the skirting board fitting work through in Rochester, so there is always someone accountable.

Will skirting board fitting suit an older property in Rochester?

Labour, materials, fixings, waste removal and VAT where it applies, all itemised. We price Rochester jobs after seeing the property, so the figure accounts for access, parking around ME1 and the condition of what is already there.

For modern homes, 120mm to 170mm is most popular. Period properties often suit taller skirting at 170mm to 220mm. We'll advise on the best proportion for your room.
