About Kent Restoration
One request, matched to specialists who understand older buildings
Kent Restoration is a free matching service for owners of period and listed homes across Kent, from timber-framed hall houses and weatherboarded cottages to Georgian and Victorian terraces. Finding someone who works in lime, repairs sash windows or splices old oak can take a lot of phone calls. Instead, you describe the building and the work once. We pass it to vetted local restoration specialists working in your area, from Faversham and Rochester to Canterbury, Sandwich and Tunbridge Wells, and they contact you to discuss it and quote. You choose who to use, and your agreement is with that specialist. Kent Restoration is managed by Astute Management in Gravesend.
