Serving St Mary's Island for stair runners — the Chatham team you can drop in on

Chatham's property mix — Victorian terraces, ex-MOD housing, St Mary's Island new-builds and town-centre flats — sets the stair runners brief before we even quote. In Walderslade we tend to lift onto bitumen-bedded chip; around Luton the subfloor is more often screed with the occasional access hatch to plan around. The historic naval town at the heart of Medway, which is why stair runners spec here is rarely one-size-fits-all.

Access-wise, Chatham works well for us: 1 miles from Rochester, off the Maritime Way corridor, with our vans running past Chatham Maritime most weeks and Riverside Estate on the commercial rota. That matters for serving your local area jobs — we can drop samples, run a re-measure, or bring an extra length of stair runners the same day.

Because St Mary's Island sits 2 miles from Chatham, we treat it as part of the Chatham run, not a separate area — stair runners surveys here get the same next-day window and the same fitters as central Chatham.

Sub-floor stories vary block-by-block in Chatham. Around Walderslade the older victorian terraces tend to sit on suspended timber with bitumen felt underneath, so lifting existing stair runners usually means scraping and re-boarding a section before the new lay. Newer plots off A2 are more forgiving — a moisture reading, a screed skim, and we're on with the stair runners.

Timing-wise, Chatham works best for us if the survey lands early morning — traffic through Chatham Maritime and along A2 tightens by mid-morning. Delivery for larger stair runners runs into Walderslade tends to work on the earlier slot, whereas smaller lifts around Luton are fine any time.

Beyond the town centre, we regularly quote stair runners out towards Maidstone — same Kent team, same warehouse pricing, same paperwork. If your Chatham address sits on the ME4 edge, that's still inside our service radius.
