Building Contractors in Maidstone
Maidstone is the largest place we work and it has the widest range of property with it, from Kentish ragstone cottages and Victorian terraces through to substantial post-war estates and recent development. There is no single kind of building job in Maidstone, which is exactly why a contractor who only does one thing struggles here.
Harcol Ltd work as building contractor throughout Maidstone and the surrounding villages, on domestic projects of most sizes.
One Contractor for the Whole Build
Running a job as principal contractor means you are not left coordinating trades yourself:
- Groundworks, structure, envelope and finishes under one contract
- Trades booked and sequenced by us, not by you
- Materials procured to programme
- Building control inspections arranged at each stage
- One invoice trail and one point of responsibility
Ragstone and Older Kentish Construction
Older Maidstone property is often built in local ragstone, and it does not behave like brick. Openings need forming differently, matching stone takes sourcing rather than ordering, and modern cement mortars can do real damage to a wall that was built to move.
Where we work on stone property we use materials that suit the original construction rather than whatever is quickest to get hold of.
