Local issues
Common building problems in Aylesford
Flood-prone ground by the river
Parts of Aylesford near the River Medway can flood in very wet winters. New floors, drainage and ground levels need careful planning on these properties.
Older village buildings
Historic brick and stone buildings in the village core need sympathetic repairs and mortars that let walls breathe.
Estate homes outgrowing their space
Many Ditton and Larkfield homes were built for smaller households. Extensions and garage conversions are common ways to gain room without moving.
Surface water and paving
Paved front gardens without drainage send water onto roads and towards houses, especially on sloping streets.
Roof wear on post-war housing
Concrete tile roofs on mid-century estates often show worn ridges, slipped tiles and tired flat roofs on extensions and garages.

Planning guide
Planning building work in Aylesford
Brickwork and repointing
From old village walls to estate-house garden walls, Aylesford brickwork benefits from a qualified bricklayer. We repoint with mortar matched to the brick and rebuild damaged sections so they blend in.
Driveways and parking
Converting front gardens to parking is common across Ditton and Larkfield. We excavate soft ground, lay a compacted sub-base, set edge restraints and plan drainage, with paving work backed by a 5-year guarantee.
Roof repairs across Aylesford
Older homes in the village and mid-century estate houses in Ditton and Larkfield both see wear to ridges, tiles and flat roofs over garages and extensions. Our roofing work carries a 10-year guarantee, and our 24/7 emergency line covers Aylesford.
Building in historic Aylesford village
The old village along the Medway has some of the area's oldest buildings, with brick, stone and clay tile that need sympathetic repair. Work here calls for careful matching of materials, softer mortars and attention to how the building handles moisture. Access in the narrow village streets also needs planning, so we discuss skips, deliveries and parking at the site visit.
Extending homes in Ditton and Larkfield
Many homes in Ditton and Larkfield were built in the mid to late twentieth century with modest kitchens and integral or attached garages. Single-storey rear extensions and garage conversions are popular ways to add space. These homes usually have cavity walls and concrete tile roofs, which affects how new work ties into the existing structure.
Drainage and low-lying ground
With the river running through the area and plenty of low ground, drainage deserves extra attention in Aylesford. When we build an extension or lay a driveway, we look at where surface water will go and whether existing drains need diverting or upgrading. Getting this right at the groundworks stage protects the new work and your existing home.
Garden rooms and outbuildings
Garden rooms, home offices and workshops are options to consider where space and approvals allow. They need a level, properly prepared base, often a concrete slab on compacted hardcore, and in some cases drainage for roof water. We handle the groundworks and can build the structure in brick or block.
Work for local businesses
Aylesford's mix of homes and commercial premises means we also carry out building, groundworks and paving for businesses, planning work around opening hours and access.
