What We've Learned Working Across Sellindge
Folkestone's Creative Quarter has seen extensive renovation of Victorian and Edwardian properties — we're experienced with the character finishes these homes demand
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
- Coastal humidity and salt air affecting material choices for kitchens and bathrooms
- Victorian properties in the Creative Quarter with non-standard dimensions and ornate original features
- Flood zone considerations for properties on Romney Marsh affecting ground-level installations

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you support raised decking in Sellindge?
We use concrete pad foundations, steel post supports, or screw piles depending on the height and ground conditions. The framework is engineered for stability and safety.
Does raised decking need building regulations approval in Sellindge?
Decking raised more than 300mm above ground level may require building regulations approval and potentially planning permission. We'll check this for you before starting any work.
What does a raised decking quote for Sellindge include?
Labour, materials, fixings, waste removal and VAT where it applies, all itemised. We price Sellindge jobs after seeing the property, so the figure accounts for access, parking around CT20 and the condition of what is already there.
Will raised decking suit an older property in Sellindge?
A lot of Sellindge housing is seafront apartment and Edwardian house, where walls are rarely square and floors rarely level. We scribe and pack rather than force a fit, which is why raised decking in older CT20 homes needs measuring on site rather than ordering off a plan.

As well as Sellindge itself, we regularly work in Folkestone, Hythe, Sandgate, Cheriton. It is all inside the Folkestone & Hythe District Council area, so there is no travel charge on top of your raised decking quote.

We usually get to Sellindge for a free measure within a few days, and smaller raised decking jobs around CT20 often start the following week. Larger work is booked around material lead times, and we confirm the start date in writing before anything is ordered.
