Five Towns, One Council, One Local Team

Medway is five towns run as one authority, and that matters more than people expect. Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Strood and Rainham share a single council, a single planning department and a single building control team, so the process is the same wherever your house sits. What changes is the housing.

You can drive fifteen minutes across Medway and go from Georgian townhouses on Rochester High Street, to naval era terraces in Brompton, to hillside semis in Walderslade, to 1970s estate housing in Parkwood. Each one wants a different answer, and knowing which is the difference between a loft that gives you a proper double bedroom and one that gives you a room you can only stand up in the middle of.

We are based here, which means we can be at your house this week rather than in a fortnight, and we can come back the day after handover if something needs adjusting. On a build that runs eight weeks in your home, that proximity is worth more than a discount.

The Five Medway Towns

Each one builds differently. Pick yours for the detail that actually applies to your street.

Local Knowledge

What We Know About Medway Homes

Four things that shape almost every job we price in ME1 through ME8.

One council for all five towns

Planning applications, prior approval and building control across Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Strood and Rainham all go through Medway Council. We deal with them constantly and we submit on your behalf rather than handing you a form and a login.

Housing stock that changes street by street

Georgian and Victorian around Rochester, naval terraces in Brompton, interwar semis in Walderslade and Wigmore, postwar in Strood, estate housing in Parkwood and Twydall. We price after looking in your roof, not off a template.

Chalk, clay and sloping ground

Medway sits on chalk with clay pockets and a lot of it is on a hill. Ground conditions and levels drive foundation design and drainage, so we survey them rather than assuming and adjusting the price later.

Terraced access and parking

Skips, deliveries and scaffold on a Medway terrace need planning. We sort permits and access before day one so your neighbours are not the ones dealing with it.

Medway is a unitary authority, so planning permission, prior approval, building control and listed building consent for all five towns go through Medway Council. Where your project needs drawings, structural calculations or an application, we prepare and submit it on your behalf.

Good To Know

Medway Questions, Answered

All five. Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Strood and Rainham, covering ME1 through to ME8, plus the surrounding villages including Wouldham, Cuxton, Halling, Hoo St Werburgh, Cliffe Woods, Higham, Upchurch and Newington.

Yes. This is home, not a service area we drive out to. It means quicker surveys, quicker starts and someone who can come back the day after handover if anything needs adjusting.

Yes. Medway is a unitary authority, so planning permission, prior approval, building control and listed building consent for all five towns go through Medway Council. There is no separate county or district layer to deal with.

Usually not. Most houses have permitted development rights covering a loft conversion within set volume limits. The exceptions are conservation areas such as central Rochester, listed buildings, flats and maisonettes, and homes where those rights have already been used or removed. We check your address before you commit.

Usually within a few days anywhere in Medway, and often sooner. The visit, the survey and the written quote are all free with no obligation.
