Local knowledge

Whitstable, from the harbour to Tankerton Slopes.

Whitstable’s working harbour, oyster sheds and narrow alleys give the old town its character, with Victorian terraces around Oxford Street and the High Street and larger homes along Tankerton Slopes.

We are based a few miles along the coast in Herne Bay, so Whitstable is part of our everyday round.

Whitstable’s homes

What we see in Whitstable, and what it means for your rating.

Old-town cottages

Narrow cottages near the harbour often have solid walls and rooms in the roof that need recording carefully.

Victorian terraces

Around Oxford Street and the High Street; loft insulation and controls are usual quick wins.

Tankerton seafront

Larger, exposed period homes with extensions – each part assessed on its own construction.

Chestfield bungalows

Roof insulation depth is often the quickest win; many cavities are already filled.
