Gravesend and its terraces along the A2 corridor have long relied on the Gillingham warehouse rather than Maidstone, since the A2 and A289 make that the shorter and more direct run.
The town centre and the streets around Windmill Hill and Milton hold a lot of dense Victorian and 1930s terraced housing, much of it now in the private rental sector, while Northfleet and Istead Rise have larger inter war and post war semis with a bit more room to work with. Whichever street you are on, carpet in Gravesend tends to be judged first on how it will cope with daily wear and only second on how it looks.
That is reflected in what moves fastest off the shelves here: hard wearing budget and mid weight twists by the roll, plus a steady trade in roll ends for the smaller box rooms and landings common in the older terraced streets.
Jobs we regularly cut for Gravesend
Full terrace refit on a budget
Roll ends and clearance stock combined to cover several small rooms in one go, keeping the overall cost down.
Narrow terraced stairs
A tight twist that fits a narrow staircase run without bulking on the nosing, common in the older Gravesend streets.
Kitchen and bathroom vinyl
Sheet vinyl cut to your measurement in 2m, 3m and 4m widths, suited to the smaller wet rooms in Victorian terraces.
Semi-detached hall, stairs and landing
One specification carried through the whole ground floor route in the larger Northfleet and Istead Rise semis.
Terraced streets and larger inter war semis
Victorian terraces near the town centre generally have a narrow hall that takes the brunt of daily traffic straight off the pavement, so a darker, tightly constructed carpet or a practical hard flooring strip at the door keeps the house looking presentable for longer. Upstairs in these houses, where footfall is lighter, a softer pile is a reasonable choice. The larger 1930s semis around Northfleet and Istead Rise usually have wider rooms and proper landings, and here a mid weight domestic twist across the stairs, hall and landing as one specification tends to give the best result.
Landlords, families and local trade
A good share of Gravesend orders come from landlords and letting agents turning round terraced rental property between tenants, buying hard wearing carpet by the roll. Families updating room by room and local fitters collecting stock, gripper and adhesive for DA postcode jobs make up the rest, and we are open to both public and trade customers.
Reaching the Gillingham warehouse from Gravesend
Our Gillingham warehouse on Matilda Close is the right one for Gravesend, and the quickest way there is the A2 eastbound towards Rochester and Strood, picking up the A289 to head north into Gillingham Business Park, or the A226 through Northfleet if you prefer to avoid the A2 at busy times. It is about 12 miles and roughly 25 minutes from central Gravesend, a manageable trip for anyone already used to the A2 commute towards Medway. There is free parking right at the unit on Matilda Close, and the loading area is set up so you can bring a car or van up close to take a full roll or several cut lengths away without carrying them far. Most Gravesend customers collect the same day, though delivery across Kent and Medway is available if you would rather have it brought to DA11 or DA12.
