Around Rochford.
Rochford is a small market town on the River Roach, just north of Southend, and home to London Southend Airport. It has an old market square and historic buildings, surrounded by a growing ring of residential estates and quiet villages towards the estuary. Many residents commute into London or work locally, so a site that clearly names Rochford, Hawkwell and Ashingdon, and shows local reviews, will catch the searches competitors from Southend miss.
Inside the Rochford council area, the closest place is Rayleigh (4 miles). Elsewhere in Essex: Burnham-on-Crouch (6 miles), South Woodham Ferrers (6 miles), Canvey Island (6 miles) and Southminster (8 miles). Just over the council boundary, Southend-on-Sea (3 miles) is close by. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.
Within Rochford itself, we build for businesses in Ashingdon, Hawkwell, Canewdon, Great Stambridge and Hockley.
Rochford addresses fall in the SS postcode area, about 193 miles east of Exeter, where we are based.
