Wide engineered planks that stay stable over large spans and UFH — a repeat pattern on georgian townhouses around Borstal.

engineered wood fitters serving Cuxton (ME2 1) — 3 miles from Rochester, on our weekly route past Medway City Estate.
Working in Rochester means working off the A228 corridor, with commercial activity around Medway City Estate and family streets across Borstal and Wouldham. Rochester (ME1) is a historic cathedral city with a real mix of period and modern property, and that shapes what engineered wood actually has to do here. Georgian townhouses in Cuxton need a different approach to commercial units around Medway City Estate, and we spec both weekly.
Rochester's property mix — Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, riverside apartments and 1930s suburban semis — sets the engineered wood brief before we even quote. In Borstal we tend to lift onto bitumen-bedded chip; around Wouldham the subfloor is more often screed with the occasional access hatch to plan around. A historic cathedral city with a real mix of period and modern property, which is why engineered wood spec here is rarely one-size-fits-all.
We come into Rochester off the A228, usually via M2 Junction 2, which puts us within ten minutes of Medway City Estate and Corporation Street.

We survey with a moisture meter, note edge conditions in Borstal, and photograph anything unusual so nobody's surprised on fit day.
