Medway’s homes
What we see in Medway, and what it means for your rating.
Victorian terraces
Common across Chatham and Gillingham: solid walls and older glazing, where loft insulation and controls usually help most.
Period homes in Rochester
Older and listed buildings in the conservation area; we focus on realistic, sympathetic improvements.
Post-war estates
Walderslade, Lordswood and Rainham homes often have cavity walls, so whether they are filled matters.
Flats and new builds
Riverside flats and new homes usually rate well; shared heating in conversions needs careful assessment.
