Local Knowledge — Working in Whitstable
New developments at Thanington and Sturry have modern construction requiring standard fixings
Access & logistics: Canterbury city centre has strict access hours for delivery vehicles. We schedule deliveries before 10am and use hand-carried materials for properties within the city walls.
Seasonal tip: Canterbury's position in the Great Stour valley means morning mist and higher humidity. We always check moisture readings before fitting flooring and recommend dehumidification during acclimatisation.
