Storm Damage Repair Scaffolding in Chatham
When a storm damages a property in Chatham, the first job is stopping further damage. We mobilise same-day, get a safe access scaffold in place, and if the roof has gone we'll fit a temporary roof over the top so the interior stays dry. Most of the Chatham work sits inside ME4 and ME5. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J3) / A2, about 1 miles past Rochester. We're based on the Medway ourselves so mobilisation is fast and lead times are short. We're regularly on sites around Chatham Maritime and Dockside Outlet. The nearest neighbouring towns to Chatham are Rochester and Gillingham — handy if a job needs splitting across sites. Building stock around Chatham is mostly Victorian terrace and 1960s estate house, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. On the commercial side, Dockside Outlet keeps us busy through the year. From the same crew we also work Rochester, Gillingham, Strood — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Chatham site.
