Why Faversham Homeowners Choose Tembok
Faversham's medieval town centre and surrounding Kent peg-tile cottages need traditional craftsmanship. We're equipped for lime mortar, oak frame repair and sash-window joinery alongside modern extensions.
Faversham's medieval centre contains one of Kent's most intact Tudor streetscapes. We handle the heritage joinery and lime work in-house for these projects.
Faversham is roughly 24 miles from our Biddenden TN17 4BD yard — about a 50-minute drive. Recent work in the area includes streets like Abbey Street, Court Street, West Street, with landmarks such as Faversham Market Place, Shepherd Neame Brewery all within our regular coverage.
A typical recent Faversham project: Listed-building refurbishment on a Tudor merchant house on Abbey Street with lime plastering and oak repairs.
We work daily with Swale Borough Council on planning and building control submissions across the ME13 postcode areas. Typical housing stock here includes Kent peg-tile cottages, Tudor merchant houses, Edwardian terraces — properties we've extended, refurbished and rebuilt many times before.

FAQs
Builders in Faversham — frequently asked
Can I alter a listed house in Faversham's medieval centre?
Often yes, with listed building consent from Swale Borough Council. Work has to be reversible and sympathetic — lime plaster rather than gypsum, breathable finishes, and repair over replacement wherever the timber allows.
What roofing materials suit Faversham peg-tile cottages?
Handmade clay peg tiles, matched to the existing weathering. We source from Kent makers and reclamation yards rather than substituting a machine-made tile, which conservation officers will refuse.
Can Tudor merchant houses take a modern kitchen?
Yes — the trick is scribing cabinetry to out-of-square walls and original timbers rather than packing gaps with filler trims. Everything is templated on site before it is built in our workshop.
Do you work in the ME13 area regularly?
Yes, across Faversham town, Ospringe, Boughton and the surrounding villages. Free site visits and a written quote within about five working days.
Are north Kent conservation areas restrictive?
In the historic centres, yes — materials and elevations are assessed closely. Outside them, standard permitted development limits normally apply.
Are you fully insured for work in Faversham?
Yes — £5m public liability and £10m employer's liability covering all sites in Faversham and across Kent and East Sussex. Certificates available on request.
