Home Renovations, Extensions & Painting in Gravesend

Across Gravesend (DA11) it is mostly full refurbishments of terraced and semi detached housing, rear extensions, kitchens and bathrooms, and landlord refurbishments, plus the kitchens, bathrooms, tiling and bespoke joinery that go with all of it. Gravesend is mostly interwar, postwar and modern housing with a smaller older core, so on the majority of properties a rear or side extension inside the permitted development limits needs a building regulations application rather than planning permission. A lawful development certificate is still worth having so the paperwork is there when you sell. Every project starts with a visit and a written quote setting out the scope and a programme, rather than a figure guessed over the phone.

No. Gravesend is about 13 miles from the Maidstone office, well inside the patch we work in every week, so travel is in the written quote rather than added on afterwards.

Yes. Gravesend is half an hour north on the A227 and the Victorian and interwar terracing there means full refurbishments and rear extensions more often than anything else. Give us a call and we will tell you what we usually find on property around Thames riverside, and what yours is likely to need before anything is priced.

It does, but in a helpful way. Gravesend is largely interwar, postwar and modern housing built to a limited number of designs, so the wall construction, the roof pitch and the likely foundation depth are broadly known before we arrive. That makes both the programme and the price reliable. It also means a rear extension is usually permitted development with a building regulations application rather than a planning application, which takes weeks out of the front end of the job.

Always. Every project in Gravesend gets a site visit, then a written quote setting out the scope, what is included, what is excluded and a payment schedule tied to real milestones. Anything that changes once work starts is priced and agreed in writing first, so the final figure is not a surprise.

Gravesend is around 13 miles from the Maidstone office, so getting out to look and quote is quick, usually within a week. When a project can actually start depends on the diary and on how far along your drawings and approvals are. We would rather give you a real date than a hopeful one, so call and we will tell you where the next honest slot is.
