Storm Damage Repair Scaffolding in Gillingham
Weather damage on Kent property tends to hit exposed sites — seafront blocks, high ridges, gable ends. We know the Gillingham building stock and we can be on site fast to make it safe before the second night's rain gets in. Most of the Gillingham work sits inside ME7 and ME8. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J4) / A2, about 2 miles past Chatham. We're based on the Medway ourselves so mobilisation is fast and lead times are short. We're regularly on sites around Gillingham Business Park and Pier Road. The nearest neighbouring towns to Gillingham are Chatham and Rochester — handy if a job needs splitting across sites. Building stock around Gillingham is mostly Victorian terrace and Edwardian semi, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. On the commercial side, Pier Road keeps us busy through the year. From the same crew we also work Chatham, Rochester, Strood — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Gillingham site.
