Our Services

Single Storey Extensions

A single storey extension is the usual way to get a bigger kitchen or a family room without moving house. We handle the footings, brickwork, roof, windows and the plastering inside. Most Chatham homes suit a rear or side build. Have a look at our single storey extensions page for what is involved.

Garage Conversions

Garage conversions turn a cold, damp space into a room you can use all year. The floor is raised and insulated, the door opening is filled in and the walls are boarded and skimmed. It is one of the cheaper ways to add a room. Read more on our garage conversions page.

House Refurbishment

House refurbishment covers everything from a tired room to a whole property being stripped back and rebuilt. We take on rewires and replumbs through joinery, plastering and decorating, working room by room or all at once. Our house refurbishment page explains how we plan the work.

Kitchen Fitting

Kitchen fitting is more than hanging units. Old kitchens come out, walls and floors are made level, and plumbing and electrics are moved to suit the new layout before anything is fixed. Worktops are templated and fitted properly. See the kitchen fitting page for the full order of work.

Roof Repairs

Roof repairs deal with slipped tiles, cracked flashing, leaking valleys and wet patches on bedroom ceilings. We get up and find where water is actually getting in rather than patching the nearest damp spot. Our roof repairs page covers the problems we see most often in Medway homes.

Flat Roof Replacement

Flat roof replacement is the answer once a garage, dormer or extension roof has blistered, split or started to pond. We strip the old covering, check the timbers and lay a new system with proper falls and edge trims. More detail is on our flat roof replacement page.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Chatham?

Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, so no full application is needed. Size, height and how close you build to the boundary all matter, and flats and listed buildings are treated differently. Medway Council can confirm your case. We tell you what we think applies before you commit to anything.

How long does building work take in Chatham?

A garage conversion usually runs three to four weeks. A single storey extension is closer to ten to sixteen weeks depending on size and roof type. Kitchen fitting takes one to two weeks. Weather, deliveries and building control visits can shift dates, so we keep you updated as the job goes on.

Do you handle building control for work in Medway?

Yes. Where a job needs building control, we submit the notice and book the inspections at each stage, from footings through to completion. You get the sign off paperwork at the end, which matters when you come to sell. We explain which parts of your job are notifiable before work starts.
