Across the borough

Gravesend, Northfleet and the parishes around them, described in the terms that change a quote rather than as a list of place names.

Dartford, Swanscombe and the Medway towns appear here as neighbours. We cross them constantly; we do not claim to be the local firm in any of them.

A riverfront, a ridge, and the newest housing in north Kent

The borough runs from dense Victorian terraces at the water's edge, up the hill to postwar estates, and out to downland villages — with the Ebbsfleet new-build sitting apart from all three and behaving differently again.

Gravesend town and the riverside DA11 0 · DA12 2 Victorian terraces and flats Dense terraced streets running back from the river, plus newer riverside blocks. On-street parking is under real pressure and the hill up from the waterfront decides where a vehicle can stand.
Northfleet and Perry Street DA11 8 · DA11 9 Terraces and industrial edge Older terraced housing against the chalk pits and the industrial river frontage. Narrow streets, few drives, and a high share of rented property and part-load moves.
Singlewell and Riverview Park DA12 5 Postwar estates Postwar and later estate housing with drives, garages and room to work. The straightforward end of the borough, and consistently underestimated for loft and garage volume.
Ebbsfleet and Springhead DA10 · DA11 9 New build The newest housing in north Kent, still expanding. Good access by design, controlled site roads while construction continues, and handover dates that move more than resale dates do.
Istead Rise and Meopham DA13 Village and downland Village housing south of the A2 with longer approaches, gravel drives and lanes that need checking before a full-size vehicle is sent.
Higham, Shorne and the marsh edge DA12 3 · ME3 Rural fringe Scattered properties towards the Hoo peninsula. Long distances between addresses, generally good standing, and the occasional single-track final approach.

The riverside and the town

The oldest and tightest part of the borough. Terraced streets run back from the waterfront up a noticeable gradient, parking is under real pressure throughout, and several of the approaches only work in one direction.

It is also where the highest share of rented property sits, which means a lot of part-loads, tenancy handovers and merges rather than whole households moving intact.

Northfleet and the industrial edge

Older terraced housing against the chalk pits and the working river frontage. Narrow streets, very few drives, and the same access pattern as the town centre with less of the hill.

Up the hill

Singlewell, Riverview Park and the postwar estates are the straightforward majority — drives, garages, side access and room to work. The volume is overhead and out the back rather than in the rooms, and both the loft and the garage are opened at survey.

Ebbsfleet, and the villages beyond the A2

Ebbsfleet and Springhead are the newest housing in north Kent and still expanding, with good designed-in access and handover dates that move. South of the A2 the borough turns into downland — Istead Rise, Meopham and the lanes towards Higham and Shorne, where the last quarter mile is the part that gets surveyed.

Questions about where we work

  1. 01

    Which part of the borough is hardest?

    The terraced streets between the town centre and the river. Narrow, fully parked, and on a gradient that makes the carry harder one way than the other. Workable with notice, unpleasant without it.

  2. 02

    And the easiest?

    Singlewell, Riverview Park and the postwar estates generally — drives, garages, wide roads and verges that take the weight. Also the stock most often underestimated for loft and garage volume.

  3. 03

    What is different about Ebbsfleet?

    Access is good by design and site roads may still be controlled while construction continues. The real difference is the date: developer handovers move more than resale completions do, so keep the booking provisional until it is confirmed in writing.

  4. 04

    Do you work the downland villages?

    Istead Rise, Meopham, Higham, Shorne and the lanes around them, yes. The approach gets surveyed rather than assumed — a full-size vehicle and a downland lane do not always agree.

How many homes, and how many addresses?

Every address involved, and how many households go into how many. That one sentence tells us more than a room count ever does.
