Why people in Folkestone choose ExpertHome
Local property mix: Edwardian villas above the harbour, Victorian terraces inland, and new-build along the seafront regeneration.
Coastal properties, salt-air realities
Salt air corrodes faster than inland equivalents — uPVC windows yellow on the sunward elevation, external metalwork pits, and patio surfaces grow algae more quickly because of constant humidity. Cleaning routines on the coast benefit from more frequent jet washes, attention to window-track drainage, and treating any external timber seasonally. We adjust schedules and chemistry to the coastal environment when we know the property is near the sea.
