Home Renovations, Extensions & Painting in Rochester

Across Rochester (ME1) it is mostly careful refurbishments and extensions on Georgian and Victorian property, full redecorations, and kitchens and bathrooms, plus the kitchens, bathrooms, tiling and bespoke joinery that go with all of it. Rochester has extensive conservation area cover and a good deal of listed and locally listed property, so alterations to anything historic need checking before the design is settled rather than after. Rear extensions on the later housing away from the historic core are far more straightforward and usually come down to permitted development limits and building control. 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. Rochester is about 7 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. Rochester is twenty minutes north and the older property around the cathedral and the High Street means careful work on period houses, with the newer estates on the edges being a different job entirely. Give us a call and we will tell you what we usually find on property around Rochester Cathedral, and what yours is likely to need before anything is priced.

It does. In the historic part of Rochester the property is older, often solid walled, and the finishes and materials matter because they are visible and because they have to suit the building. Lime rather than cement where the wall needs to breathe, joinery matched to what is there, and extensions kept subordinate at the back. On the later housing around the edge of Rochester it is standard cavity wall construction and a rear extension is a much simpler exercise. Both are normal work here and they get priced very differently.

Always. Every project in Rochester 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.

Rochester is around 7 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.
