Working in Gillingham
Gillingham is the biggest of the Medway towns, and most of it went up fast in the decades when the dockyard employed half of it: tight grids of Victorian and Edwardian terraces built for the men who built the ships, running down toward the Strand and the river.
Those terraces are strong, honest houses, and the way to get more from one is the same as it has always been: open up the ground floor, convert the loft, extend into the yard. All three are steel jobs before they are anything else.
Steel and welding for Gillingham
Beams over knocked-through walls, steel for loft conversions and rear extensions, and adjustable steel legs, props, holding the house safe while the opening is made. If the engineer's schedule, his list of sizes, is already drawn, the steel arrives made to it.
Repairs and fabrication, making something out of metal from scratch, carry on where the structure stops: welding at the house or the yard, cracked and rusted metal made sound, security grilles and brackets and one-offs made to fit.
