Building projects in Sandwich.

Sandwich is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in England, and that history shapes every building project inside the old walls. Streets like Strand Street, Church Street St Mary's and the Fisher Gate area are largely pre-1900 timber-framed and Georgian buildings, some listed, most sitting inside the Sandwich conservation area. Any extension, roofline change, or alteration visible from the street needs a proper conversation with Dover District Council before work starts, and that conversation happens as part of scoping the project, not as an afterthought.

Working on this stock also means working with what is actually there rather than what a standard modern build assumes. Timber framing, older masonry, and floor and roof structures that were never built to current Building Regulations all need assessing honestly before a project is priced, so a renovation or a small extension in the old town gets scoped with that in mind from the first site visit.

Where planning permission or listed building consent is needed, we work through that as part of the process, either coordinating with a planning professional or pointing you to one, rather than treating it as your problem to solve separately.

Typical projects on this patch

• Room renovations - kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces rebuilt properly
• Full extensions - single and double-storey extensions
• Bespoke builds - garden rooms, garages, outbuildings
