Kent

The area around Dartford.

Dartford is a Kent town right by the Dartford Crossing, with the Bluewater shopping centre nearby and a lot of new housing at places like Ebbsfleet and Stone. It is a busy commuter and logistics area where many newcomers have no local contacts and search online for everything. Competition from south-east London firms is strong. A site that names Wilmington, Stone and Greenhithe, and shows fast response, helps a local firm stand out.

Elsewhere in Kent, Northfleet (4 miles), Swanley (5 miles) and Gravesend (5 miles) are within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Erith (3 miles), Grays (4 miles), Bexley (4 miles) and Tilbury (5 miles) are also close. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.

Within Dartford itself, we build for businesses in Wilmington, Stone, Greenhithe, Swanscombe, Joyden's Wood, Temple Hill and Ebbsfleet.

Dartford addresses fall in the DA postcode area, about 172 miles east of Exeter, where we are based.
