Tailored to Tenterden Homes
Ashford's extensive new-build housing around Kennington, Kingsnorth, and Park Farm uses modern timber frame construction — we're experienced with these build methods
Access & logistics: Ashford's location at the junction of the M20 makes it one of the easiest areas for us to reach. Rural properties around the Weald may have narrow access lanes — we always check during the survey.
Seasonal tip: The Low Weald around Ashford has heavy clay soil that expands and contracts with the seasons. This affects ground stability — we use adjustable bases for garden rooms to accommodate seasonal movement.
Common Considerations for Ashford Properties

- Weather-boarded cottages in Tenterden requiring specialist cladding knowledge
- Heavy clay soil in the Low Weald affecting foundations for garden rooms and decking

FAQs From Real Customers
How do you ensure even gaps around the door in Tenterden?
We use precision packing, careful trimming, and proper hinge recessing to achieve consistent 2-3mm gaps all round. This ensures smooth operation and an even appearance.
Do you work with composite and glazed doors in Tenterden?
Yes — we hang all door types including heavy solid core, glazed, composite, and oak doors. Each requires slightly different techniques for a perfect fit.
Can you plane a door that's sticking in Tenterden?
Yes — if your door is rubbing on the floor or frame, we can plane it down for a smooth fit. If the issue is caused by a warped frame, we may recommend rehanging with a new lining.

Labour, materials, fixings, waste removal and VAT where it applies, all itemised. We price Tenterden jobs after seeing the property, so the figure accounts for access, parking around TN30 and the condition of what is already there.
Will door hanging suit an older property in Tenterden?
A lot of Tenterden housing is weather-boarded high-street property and Wealden hall house, where walls are rarely square and floors rarely level. We scribe and pack rather than force a fit, which is why door hanging in older TN30 homes needs measuring on site rather than ordering off a plan.
