Tailored to Wainscott Homes
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
Wainscott sits near Gillingham High Street, and we're often passing through on our way to projects in this part of Medway. That regular presence means quick site visits, fast quote turnarounds, and faster start dates than firms travelling from further afield.
How We Work — Our Decking Process
No guesswork on site. This is the order we work in on a raised decking job in Wainscott:
- 1
Garden Survey
We visit your garden, assess the ground conditions, and discuss your requirements — size, shape, levels, and material preference. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Wainscott job.
- 2
Decking Design
We create a design including dimensions, board direction, step positions, and any additional features like lighting or balustrades. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Wainscott.
- 3
Ground Preparation
The area is cleared, levelled, and prepared with a weed membrane. Concrete pads or adjustable pedestals are positioned for the framework. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
- 4
Framework Construction
A strong, level joist framework is constructed from treated timber, with proper spacing and ventilation for long-term durability. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Wainscott job.
- 5
Board Laying
Decking boards are laid with consistent spacing, secured with screws or hidden clips, and trimmed neatly at all edges. You get a straight update at the end of this stage.
- 6
Finishing & Extras
Steps, fascia boards, balustrades, and lighting are installed. The deck is cleaned and any staining or oiling is applied. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
Access and parking in Wainscott are agreed before we start, so nothing stalls mid-job.

FAQs From Real Customers
Which streets and villages near Wainscott do you cover?
As well as Wainscott itself, we regularly work in Chatham, Rochester, Gillingham, Strood. It is all inside the Medway Council area, so there is no travel charge on top of your raised decking quote.
Will raised decking suit an older property in Wainscott?
A lot of Wainscott housing is Edwardian townhouse and post-war semi, 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 ME4 homes needs measuring on site rather than ordering off a plan.
What does a raised decking quote for Wainscott include?
Labour, materials, fixings, waste removal and VAT where it applies, all itemised. We price Wainscott jobs after seeing the property, so the figure accounts for access, parking around ME4 and the condition of what is already there.
Does raised decking need building regulations approval in Wainscott?
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.
How do you support raised decking in Wainscott?
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.
Can you add a balustrade to raised decking in Wainscott?
Balustrades are required on decking raised 600mm+ above ground level. We fit timber, glass, and metal balustrades with handrails that meet building regulation height requirements.
