Local issues
Common building problems in West Malling & Kings Hill
Limited space on newer plots
Many Kings Hill homes have compact gardens, so extensions need careful design to add space without losing too much outdoor area. A garage conversion may be an option, depending on the existing structure and intended use.
Period buildings in West Malling
Older buildings need repairs that respect original materials. Hard mortars and unsuitable finishes can trap moisture and damage historic brick.
Render and finishes on modern homes
Painted or older render on newer homes can crack and stain. Silicone render offers a cleaner, low-maintenance alternative.
Clay soils and new planting
Clay soils in the area move with moisture changes, particularly near trees, which affects foundations for extensions and walls.
Drainage on driveways
Converting lawns to parking increases run-off. Proper falls and drainage are needed to keep water away from homes.

Planning guide
Planning building work in West Malling & Kings Hill
Roofs old and new
Period roofs in West Malling need care with slate, clay tile and lead details, while newer Kings Hill roofs sometimes need attention to ridges and flat roofs over garages. Roofing work carries our 10-year guarantee.
Refreshing render and finishes
Some newer Kings Hill homes have rendered sections that crack or stain over time. Silicone render over a properly prepared base gives a clean, water-repellent, through-coloured finish that does not need repainting.
Driveways and patios
Larger driveways and patios are popular in both communities. We excavate, lay a compacted sub-base, set edges and plan drainage so water drains away from the house, and paving work comes with a 5-year guarantee.
Nearby villages
For a property near West Malling or Kings Hill, send Michael the postcode to discuss a site visit. Historic cottages and modern family homes can have different requirements for materials, access and the proposed work.
Adding space to a Kings Hill home
Kings Hill has many modern homes, some with compact gardens and integral garages. A garage conversion may add usable space within the existing footprint, while a single-storey rear extension can open the kitchen onto the garden. Because the homes are newer, we work with cavity wall construction and modern foundations, matching brick and tiles to the existing estate.
Repairs in West Malling's older streets
West Malling's historic core has many older buildings, some with soft brick and lime mortar. Repairs need the right materials so walls can breathe and stay dry. Access on narrow streets also needs planning for deliveries and skips.
