Builders and Carpenters in Northfleet
Everwood Construction is a building and carpentry contractor working in Northfleet and the surrounding area, with over two decades of experience.
Building and Carpentry in Northfleet
Much of Northfleet sits on chalk that was quarried for many years, so we always look at the ground before any structural work begins. Old pits and workings are recorded across the area, so we investigate first and we size extension footings for the conditions we find, so the work can be signed off without surprises. At the newer end of the town, the Ebbsfleet Garden City boundary takes in former industrial sites such as Harbour Village, which stands on the old cement works. The houses there are young and the work is different, with garden rooms, fitted wardrobes and media walls, garden and decking carpentry and careful finishing throughout.

Homes in Northfleet
The Hill is the oldest part of Northfleet and its conservation area, gathered around St Botolph's, a Grade I listed church begun in the early fourteenth century, whose tower was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1717. Close by is Huggens College, an almshouse community founded by the corn merchant John Huggens in the 1840s, and it still provides homes for older residents today. Work on and around The Hill needs extra care from us. We take account of the conservation area rules on anything that faces the street, we choose brick and joinery to match what is already there, and we carry out repairs in a way that keeps the character of the area.

Northfleet: Frequently Asked Questions

What should I know about building work in Northfleet?
Beyond the old core, Northfleet is made up of several named neighbourhoods, including Perry Street, Waterdales, Painters Ash and the riverside, with Springhead and the Ebbsfleet Valley to the south west. Two stations serve the town, Northfleet on the North Kent line and Ebbsfleet International beside it, and the A2 keeps our material deliveries simple. Much of the housing is terraced, so we plan skips, scaffolding and parking street by street with Gravesham's arrangements in mind. We are also well used to working from the rear through shared alleys when the frontage is tight.
What sort of homes do you work on in Northfleet?
Most of Northfleet's older homes were built for the cement and quarry workforce. Victorian and Edwardian terraces line the streets around the High Street, The Hill and Perry Street, and they share the same construction: solid brick walls with no cavity, lime mortar, timber floors over modest footings, and roofs that have usually been recovered at least once. Between and after the wars came the family estates at Waterdales and Painters Ash, mostly semi detached houses with proper gardens. When we renovate one of these terraces, we respect how it was built, choosing materials that let solid walls breathe and detailing the damp protection correctly, because hard cement renders trap moisture inside the wall.
