Builders and home improvements across Kent
Extensions, kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing, heating, electrics and repairs in Dartford, Swanley, Gravesend, Rochester and across Kent.
From Dartford and the Medway towns to Maidstone, Ashford and the coast at Folkestone and Dover, we work right across Kent. The housing varies widely: Victorian terraces in Gravesend and Chatham, 1930s semis around Dartford, and older cottages in the villages between. One team covers every trade, from a single repair to a full extension.
Whether you need a kitchen-diner extension in Dartford, a bathroom refit in Maidstone or a new boiler in Folkestone, you get a free site visit, an itemised written quote and one point of contact from start to finish.

Building in Kent: what to know
Period and character homes
Many Kent towns have Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and the villages have weatherboarded and tile-hung cottages. We repair and extend these sympathetically, matching brick, tile and timber details so new work sits naturally with the old.
Green Belt in north-west Kent
Around Dartford and Swanley, much of the open land is Metropolitan Green Belt. That affects how large extensions and outbuildings can be, so we look at the planning position before we finalise a design or a price.
Conservation areas
Historic centres such as Rochester, Canterbury, Faversham and Dover include conservation areas, where permitted development rights can be narrower. If your home is in one, we’ll help you check what needs permission.
Coastal homes
Properties around Folkestone and Dover face wind-driven rain and salt air. We choose renders, fixings, guttering and external joinery to suit, so repairs last.
Planning and building control
In Kent, planning and building control applications go to your district or borough council, or to Medway Council if you live in Chatham, Rochester, Gillingham or Strood. We check which rules apply to your property before any work is priced.

Builders in Kent: common questions
Which parts of Kent do you cover?
We work across Kent from Dartford and Swanley through Gravesend, the Medway towns, Sittingbourne and Maidstone to Ashford, Canterbury, Folkestone and Dover, and the towns and villages in between. Not sure? Call us with your postcode.
Do you handle planning and building control with Kent councils?
Yes. We work out whether your project needs permission or can go ahead under permitted development, and we arrange building control with your council or an approved inspector.
Can you match materials on an older Kent property?
Yes. Matching brick, peg tiles, weatherboarding and joinery details is a normal part of how we work on period homes.
We also cover Bexley, Essex and Hertfordshire.
