What We've Learned Working Across Strood
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
Our team has spent countless days working on landscaping jobs around Gillingham High Street and the wider Strood area. Every project adds to the practical, on-the-ground knowledge we bring to your home.
