Local collections across Rochester
A cathedral city on the Medway with a heavily conservation-controlled High Street, Georgian townhouses and the sprawling Medway City Estate across the river.
Listed Georgian and Victorian properties in the historic core with steep, narrow access, plus 20th-century housing at Borstal and Horsted. Conservation area restrictions on Rochester High Street make skip placement difficult and slow to permit, so attended loading is usually the only workable route.
We work regularly around Borstal, Wouldham Road, Delce, Horsted, Frindsbury, and reference points like Rochester Cathedral, Rochester Castle, Restoration House help us find awkward addresses first time. Commercial work concentrates around Medway City Estate, Rochester Airport Industrial Estate, Knight Road and the Rochester High Street independents and Corn Exchange area retail areas.
