Questions

Working in Gravesend

What building work do you do in Gravesend?

Across Gravesend (DA11) we mostly handle full house renovations, bathroom and kitchen refits and rear extensions. Gravesend has a large stock of solid older terraced and semi-detached housing along the Thames, which takes renovation well once the survey has established what is behind the plaster. Every job starts with a free look at the actual property rather than a price given over the phone, because the same job can cost very different amounts depending on what is already there.

Do you charge extra to come to Gravesend?

No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Gravesend is about 22 km from us in Maidstone, well inside the hour we cover, and it is a run we make as a matter of course rather than treating it as an extra.

Have you worked in Gravesend before?

Yes. Gravesend is the northern edge of our patch, with a lot of solid older terraced housing that renovates well. We are happy to talk through the kind of jobs we have done around riverside when you get in touch, and to explain how we would approach yours.

Does the type of property in Gravesend affect the job?

Usually, yes. Gravesend is largely Victorian terraces and post-war housing, which means solid walls, original joinery, and bathrooms and kitchens that were fitted into rooms never designed for them. Those houses renovate very well, but the survey matters, because old waste pipework, lead supply and previous badly done alterations turn up regularly once things are opened up.

Can we stay in the house while you work in Gravesend?

In most cases yes, and it is how the majority of our Gravesend jobs are done. Bathrooms and kitchens mean a few awkward days without that room, and extensions are built largely outside the house until the break-through. We keep dust sheets and screens up, clean down at the end of each day and tell you at the start of each week which parts of the house are affected.

How quickly can you quote a job in Gravesend?

Usually within a week, and often sooner. Quotes in Gravesend are free and carry no obligation, and you get a written price broken down by stage so you can see what the building work, the plumbing, the electrics and the finishes each cost, rather than a single number with nothing behind it.

What size jobs do you take on in Gravesend?

Anything from a single bathroom or a bit of brickwork up to a full house renovation or a two storey extension. Smaller jobs in Gravesend get the same survey, the same written quotation and the same standards on site as the big ones, and they are genuinely welcome rather than being turned away.
