Serving Hempstead for LVT — the Gillingham team you can drop in on

Gillingham's property mix — Edwardian terraces, post-war semis, 1980s estates and modern Lower Rainham new-builds — sets the LVT brief before we even quote. In Twydall we tend to lift onto bitumen-bedded chip; around Hempstead the subfloor is more often screed with the occasional access hatch to plan around. The largest of the Medway Towns and home to our warehouse, which is why LVT spec here is rarely one-size-fits-all.

We come into Gillingham off the A278, usually via A278, which puts us within ten minutes of Hempstead Valley and Pier Approach. For an serving your local area enquiry that shortens survey turnaround: mornings tend to work for Twydall and Hempstead, afternoons for the Parkwood side of the ME7 postcode.

Because Hempstead sits 2 miles from Gillingham, we treat it as part of the Gillingham run, not a separate area — LVT surveys here get the same next-day window and the same fitters as central Gillingham.

Sub-floor stories vary block-by-block in Gillingham. Around Twydall the older edwardian terraces tend to sit on suspended timber with bitumen felt underneath, so lifting existing lvt usually means scraping and re-boarding a section before the new lay. Newer plots off A278 are more forgiving — a moisture reading, a screed skim, and we're on with the lvt.

Booking a lvt fit in Gillingham is usually a two-window conversation — a survey slot that suits the property, and a fit slot that respects the street. In Twydall we tend to hold morning fits; in Hempstead afternoons run cleaner because of school-run traffic.

We treat Gillingham as a whole, not a postcode band — Twydall, Hempstead, Wigmore and the villages towards Sittingbourne all get the same survey standard, the same fitters, and the same aftercare number to call.
