Canterbury — Interior Finishes

CT1 · CT2 · A2 / A28 · 1 hour 20 minutes from London via the A2

Overview

Our Canterbury pipeline is anchored by the townhouse stock that gives the area its character, with additional work in the surrounding villages. We also see a steady share of archetypal London Victorian terrace with basement dig-out potential. The demand here comes overwhelmingly from homeowners renovating around a working household, not empty-property new-builds. Canterbury sits on the A2 / A28, 1 hour 20 minutes from london via the a2. From here we cover Faversham (9.5 mi) and Whitstable (6.5 mi) and out to Herne Bay (8 mi) inside our standard service radius. Natural limewash on original lime-plastered surfaces is central to the heritage work we do here.

Canterbury — frequently asked
Is the wet-room really waterproof?+

Yes — beneath the microcement finish sits a cementitious tanking layer with reinforcement tape at every corner and junction. This has been the EU-standard wet-room spec for 25+ years. Our Canterbury wet-room installations carry a 10-year materials and workmanship warranty.

Can microcement go over the existing floor in a Canterbury period property?+

Depends on the substrate. Over solid concrete — yes, straightforward. Over suspended timber — we'd typically lay a rigid backer or pour a thin self-levelling screed first. We survey before quoting.

Do you handle full-house paint schedules in Canterbury?+

Yes — we routinely deliver 8–14 colour schedules across a full Canterbury house, brushed by hand in a deep-matt high-end paint range. Spray-finish on joinery when the substrate allows.

Can you re-do a small en-suite in Canterbury without a full strip-out?+

Sometimes — if the existing tiles are sound and flat we can overlay a bonded backer and take the microcement over that. Where tiles are moving or cracked we recommend a full strip and re-tank. We tell you honestly at the survey.
