This place was a mess. There was damp everywhere and the bricks were disintegrating. Being so close to the sea means these cottages get battered by the salt air. The bricks were full of absorbed salt, the roof rotten and the cavities were completely full of sand. Everything had to be stripped back, repaired and tanked to stop the damp coming back. We clad externally to stop direct moisture to the masonry and vented behind to ensure the existing masonry can breathe. This client's besboke kitchen finishes off this project perfectly.

Thank you, Oliver! We really enjoyed this project. The contrasting combination of black, thermowood cladding externally and OSB internally gave us the chance to create some really cool details. The original plan had been to buy 'off the shelf' garage doors and clad them, but in the end, we made them bespoke as we wanted the flexibility in size to get the cladding to work perfectly and create an almost invisible door. The build is fully insulated, and so should be a great space to spend time, regardless of the season.

Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review from a brilliant customer. We received this review after fully renovating her previous home, ready for it to be rented out. Prior to this, however, we had built Claire a new bungalow home so she could live closer to her mother, Shirley. It's always a pleasure to work for such lovely people.

Below is the full review and link to our other reviews on google:

"Adam and Chris were just brilliant to work with, bringing our building plans and vision to life. Their artistic and technical acumen combined, resulted in the realisation of a truly beautiful home, with which we are delighted. The nicest parts of the build are those suggested, designed and built by Adam and Chris. Mantas who works as part of their team is a huge asset, and brings with him versatility and reliability. Such was our satisfaction with their professionalism, skills, knowledge, approachability (and patience!) that we commissioned them for a second time - and are equally pleased with the result. We would have no hesitation in recommending Petley Developments. Thank you Chris and Adam."

Progress photos from our extension and knock through in Upper Harbledown, Canterbury. Adam and Mantas have done a fantastic job installing the structural beams at the joist line, meaning the ceiling will run through the whole space at one level. It's this kind of detail that gives open plan spaces like this a real superior feel. It is definitely worth the extra work involved.
The warm roof is also ready for EPDM to be installed in the coming week, and 1st fix plumbing and electric will also commence.

Here's some progress shots of a little garage improvement we've been doing in Folkestone. In the last two weeks, we've taken down the old garage, built new load-bearing walls and a new pitched roof to maximise space for our customer. The metal roof system will commence in the next day or two and will be fixed straight through the insulation to complete the warm roof system.

Full five⭐️ review from Google... "Having worked with Adam and Chris before, we had no hesitation in using them for our latest project. We had put off having a wall down between the kitchen and dining room and remodelling the kitchen but, with their advice and support, we finally went ahead and now we wonder why we hadn’t done so sooner. The team of subcontractors they use are experts in their field, which meant we felt confident we would achieve what we wanted. The job was not without its challenges, removing four to five bird nests from the chimney had not been part of the original brief, but Chris and Manus dealt with this with patience and skill, as well as accommodating a last minute request to build a unit in the dining room alcove, which not only gave us more storage space but linked the two spaces together. We are delighted with the final result, which is a testament to every one’s professionalism and expertise. They have created a large area, with character, that complements the existing building and given us a perfect space for twin grandchildren to play. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Adam and Chris; in fact, we have already done so. Martin and Lesley"
