When Rochester residents search for window boarding, they often end up choosing us — and most stay with us for future projects too. Why? Because the experience of working with DP Carpentry Property Services is genuinely different. From the first phone call through to the final walkthrough, we make the process easy, transparent, and (dare we say) enjoyable.
Window boards (sills) frame your windows and provide a useful shelf space. We supply and fit timber and MDF window boards in a range of depths and profiles, precisely cut to fit your window reveals.
Who We Build Window Boarding For in Rochester
Full renovators want one team across multiple trades with a single point of contact.
Owner-occupiers usually want lasting quality and a finish they're proud to live with.
Serving Rochester & the wider area
We cover the ME1 postcode district for window boarding, central Rochester, served via the A2. Access is straightforward via the A2 and M2 J3, so we keep call-outs and material runs efficient.
Why Rochester Properties Are Different
Rochester's historic high street has many Grade II listed buildings — we're experienced with conservation-grade joinery and period-appropriate materials
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
Local knowledge isn't just about knowing the postcode — it's about knowing the parking restrictions near Chatham Historic Dockyard, the merchant suppliers worth using, and the small details that catch out trades from outside Medway. We bring all of that to every job.

How We Work — Our Trim & Finishing Process
Every window boarding 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. You get a straight update at the end of this stage.
- 2
Profile Selection
Select your preferred profile and height from our extensive range — or provide your own for us to fit. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Rochester job.
- 3
Precise Cutting
Every length is measured and cut to fit, with mitred corners on external angles and scribed joints on internal angles. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Rochester.
- 4
Secure Fixing
Trim is fixed securely to the wall using adhesive and pins, with consistent height and alignment throughout. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Rochester.
- 5
Gap Filling & Finish
All gaps, nail holes, and joints are filled with decorator's caulk and filler, sanded, and left paint-ready. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Rochester job.
Access and parking in Rochester are agreed before we start, so nothing stalls mid-job.
