Storm Damage Repair Scaffolding in Strood

Weather damage on Kent property tends to hit exposed sites — seafront blocks, high ridges, gable ends. We know the Strood building stock and we can be on site fast to make it safe before the second night's rain gets in. Most of the Strood work sits inside ME2. Mobilisation from our Medway yard runs via M2 (J2) / A228, 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 Medway City Estate and Frindsbury industrial area. From the same crew we also work Rochester, Chatham, Gravesend — usually within a 20-minute drive of a Strood site. On the commercial side, Frindsbury industrial area keeps us busy through the year. Building stock around Strood is mostly post-war semi and warehouse, which shapes how a scaffold has to go up. The nearest neighbouring towns to Strood are Rochester and Chatham — handy if a job needs splitting across sites.
