Where we work.

Margate town, the Old Town and the seafront (CT9)

The core round. Margate's Old Town is a close-packed cobbled quarter of arts and antiques shops, cable runs and external fixings need a lighter touch here than on a modern estate. Along the seafront itself, grand Victorian and Edwardian terraces have mostly been split into flats and guesthouses, several floors sharing one entrance, so a camera or doorbell has to be angled to cover your own door, not the shared hallway.

• Margate Old Town and Harbour, cobbled streets, arts and antiques quarter, close to the harbour arm.
• Margate seafront and Dreamland, converted Victorian terraces and guesthouses, heavy seasonal footfall.
• Westbrook, residential streets between Margate and Westgate, mixed older and newer housing.
• Garlinge, village on the western edge of town, mostly modern housing stock.

Cliftonville and Palm Bay (CT9)

Margate's eastern flank, grand Victorian squares and seafront hotels turned into flats, plus a run of quieter residential streets further back from the sea. Salt air off the Channel shortens the life of budget camera housings fast here, and shared-entrance terraces are the norm rather than the exception.

• Cliftonville, dense Victorian terraces and converted seafront hotels, highest weather exposure and the most shared-entrance jobs on the round.
• Palm Bay, quieter residential streets towards Foreness Point, mostly houses rather than flats.

Birchington-on-Sea (CT7)

A short drive west along the coast, covered as a standard part of the round. Mostly detached and semi-detached housing with generous gardens, a different job profile to Margate's terraces.

• Birchington-on-Sea, village and seafront, mixed housing stock, covered on request.

Not sure if we cover you?

Our standard round runs from Margate out to Cliftonville, Palm Bay, Westbrook, Garlinge and Birchington-on-Sea, comfortably covering CT9 and CT7. Anything further out (towards Ramsgate or Canterbury) we will take on request, travel time will show in the quote. If you are inside the area above, we are your local installer.
