What We've Learned Working Across Sandwich
Georgian and Victorian properties around Castle Street and the seafront have solid chalk and flint walls with unique fixing requirements
Access & logistics: Dover's steep topography means some properties have challenging access. We assess this during the initial survey and plan accordingly for material handling and scaffolding.
Seasonal tip: Coastal exposure in Dover means external carpentry needs to withstand salt spray and high winds. We use stainless steel fixings and recommend composite or treated hardwood over softwood for any external work.
Common Considerations for Dover Properties
- Salt air corrosion requiring marine-grade hardware and treated timber
- Chalk and flint walls requiring specialist drilling and fixings
- Exposed coastal locations requiring wind-resistant construction for garden rooms and decking
Sandwich's position near Deal seafront gives it a distinctive character, and the homes here reflect that. We tailor our garden gates approach to suit — drawing on years of experience working in this exact area.
