Sissinghurst cost FAQs
Is Sissinghurst more expensive than other parts of Kent for a kitchen refurbishment?
Marginally — Sissinghurst's TN17 postcode runs about 3–6% above the Kent average, mostly because of conservation detail and parking constraints near Sissinghurst Castle Garden (National Trust). The biggest cost variance is still spec, not postcode.
Will you provide a fixed-price quote or estimate?
Fixed-price written quote — itemised across the lines above, with a 10% contingency you only pay if it's actually used. We've worked on The Street and surrounding Sissinghurst streets so we price from real local knowledge, not desktop assumptions.
What's the deposit and payment schedule?
10% on contract signing, then stage payments tied to milestones (slab down, weathertight, first fix, second fix, completion). Final 5% retained for 4 weeks post-handover.
Do you include VAT in quotes?
Yes — every Sissinghurst quote is VAT-inclusive. We're VAT-registered. Some listed-building work in Sissinghurst qualifies for reduced-rate VAT; we'll flag this if applicable.
