Chatham and the places nearby.
Chatham is defined by its Historic Dockyard, now a heritage attraction, and by the university campuses and regeneration around Chatham Maritime. Around that sits a large, mostly working-age residential population with plenty of older terraced housing on steep streets. The heritage and student economy supports hospitality and lettings work, while the estates up the hill towards Walderslade generate steady domestic demand. For local search, it helps to recognise that Chatham customers happily hire from anywhere in Medway, so your service area should say so plainly.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Rochester (1 mile) and Gillingham (3 miles). Across the boundary into the next council area, Snodland (5 miles), Maidstone (8 miles), Gravesend (8 miles) and West Malling (8 miles) are also close. If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Within Chatham itself, we build for businesses in Walderslade, Lordswood, Luton, Chatham Maritime, Princes Park and Wayfield.
