All aspects of construction
Property services for homes in Rochester
Right-sized residential work, completed with care by one accountable tradesman.
All aspects of construction, on a small scale
The CRF Services slogan is "All aspects of construction", and it describes the range rather than the size of the work. Danny Morrison is a one man band based in Rochester, so every service below is pitched at jobs that suit one tradesman and a van: a bathroom, a garden, a room, or a list of repairs. That keeps the work personal. The person who visits, prices and plans the job is the person who carries it out.
Bathroom renovations, handyman work and landscaping are the main services. Carpentry, general building, house interiors and room renovations support them, which is often useful when one job leads into another, such as new skirting after a floor or a ceiling repair after a bathroom leak.

Popular individual jobs
Bathroom wall and floor tiling
Tiling is the part of a bathroom everybody looks at first and the part that shows every shortcut.
Fence panel fitting and fence repairs
A leaning post or a panel that blew out in the last storm is one of the most common garden jobs CRF is asked about.
Internal door hanging and fitting
A door that sticks, drifts open or leaves a big gap at the top is a small irritation you notice every day.
Skirting board and architrave fitting
Skirting and architrave are the finishing carpentry that frames every room.
Floor laying for homes
A new floor changes how a room feels more than almost anything else.
Shelving and storage fitted for Rochester homes
CRF Services Ltd fits floating shelves, bracketed shelves and alcove storage, and secures tall furniture to walls.
TV mounting service: TVs fixed securely to your wall
A wall mounted TV is fixed securely by matching the bracket and fixings to the wall it is going on, setting it at a comfortable viewing height, and running the cables neatly in trunking or behind a cover.
Decking installation for modest gardens
A good deck starts with a level, well supported sub-frame, then boards chosen for how much upkeep you want: timber is lower in cost to buy and needs regular treating, while composite costs more up front and needs very little looking after.
Loft ladder and loft hatch installation in Rochester
A loft ladder turns a loft you avoid into one you can actually use.
Walk in shower installation and bath to shower conversions
A walk in shower replaces a bath, an old cubicle or a cramped corner with a low tray or level floor, a fixed glass screen and a shower you can step straight into.
Wet room installation: level floors that stay watertight
A wet room does away with the shower tray altogether.
Shower tray fitting and replacement for cracked or leaking trays
A cracked or leaking shower tray rarely fixes itself, and water escaping round a tray is one of the commonest causes of stained ceilings below.
Loft boarding for safe, usable storage
Loft boarding means laying a floor across the ceiling joists in your roof space so it can be used for storage without stepping between joists or crushing the insulation.
En suite bathroom installation and refits
An en suite bathroom is a private shower room or small bathroom that opens straight off a bedroom, rather than off the landing.
Downstairs toilet installation and cloakroom refits
A downstairs toilet saves a trip upstairs for guests, children and anyone who finds the stairs hard work.
Replace a toilet: toilet fitting and replacement
When a toilet cracks, rocks, runs constantly or just looks out of place next to newer fittings, replacing it is usually a straightforward job.
Bath resealing, shower resealing and regrouting
Black mould in the silicone, grout that crumbles when you touch it and a gap opening up between the bath and the wall are signs a bathroom needs attention, but not necessarily a new one.
Wardrobe fitting and fitted wardrobes
Wardrobe fitting covers building storage into a bedroom so it uses the full height and width of the space, rather than standing a freestanding unit against a wall.
Painting and decorating inside your home
Painting and decorating is the part of a room everyone sees, and the finish depends far more on the preparation than on the paint.
Property maintenance for landlords and homeowners
Property maintenance is the steady work that keeps a house lettable and in good order: repairs between tenants, the list of small faults that builds up over a year, and the jobs that stop small problems turning into bigger ones.
Alcove shelving and alcove cupboards
Alcove shelving makes use of the recesses either side of a chimney breast, a feature of most Victorian and Edwardian houses in Medway and plenty of later ones too.
Blind fitting and curtain pole fitting
Blind fitting looks simple until the drill hits a steel lintel or the plaster crumbles above the window.
Stud wall building and partition walls
A stud wall is a lightweight internal wall made from a timber or metal frame with plasterboard fixed to each side.
Plasterboard repair and ceiling repairs
Plasterboard repair covers the dents, holes and damaged patches that every house picks up: a door handle through a wall, a hole left by an old fitting, a ceiling that sagged after a leak.
Internal bifold door installation and sliding doors
Internal bifold doors and sliding doors save space where a swinging door would hit a bed, block a hallway or eat into a small room.
Loft hatch installation and enlarging loft hatches
A loft hatch is the opening in the ceiling that gives you a way into the roof space.
Kitchen fitters near me: kitchen fitting in Medway and Maidstone
If you have bought a new kitchen and need someone to fit it, CRF Services Ltd installs supplied kitchens across Medway and out to Maidstone.
Garden clearance for overgrown and neglected gardens
Garden clearance is the job of taking a garden that has got away from you and stripping it back to something you can see, walk on and plan.
Fence repair after storms, rot and leaning posts
A fence repair fixes the part of a boundary that has failed while keeping the rest of it standing.
Patio installation for small gardens and paving repairs
Patio installation is about more than the slabs you can see.
Extractor fan installation for bathrooms
A bathroom without proper extraction slowly ruins itself.
Accessible bathroom fitting: easier, safer everyday use
An accessible bathroom is one that is easier and safer to use for someone whose mobility, balance or strength has changed, or is likely to.
Bathroom suite installation for suites you have supplied
Plenty of people buy their own bathroom suite, either from a showroom sale, online or because they have spent months choosing exactly what they want.
Shower enclosure installation: quadrant, sliding, bifold and walk in
A shower enclosure is the glass and frame that keeps the water on the tray rather than on the floor.
Front door fitting into existing openings
A front door takes more punishment than any other door in the house.
Door handle replacement, latches and simple locks
Door handle replacement is one of those jobs that seems trivial until you try it and find the new handle does not line up with the old holes, or the latch still sticks.
Picture hanging and heavy mirror fitting
Picture hanging sounds like the simplest job in the house, until a large mirror starts to lean forward off its fixings or a gallery wall ends up with frames at six slightly different heights.
Fire door fitting: what is involved
A fire door is only as good as the way it is fitted.
Window board fitting and internal sill replacement
The window board is the shelf on the inside of a window, often called the internal sill.
Repointing and small brick wall repairs
Mortar is meant to be the weak point in a wall.
Turfing for small lawns: preparation, laying and aftercare
New turf gives you a finished looking lawn in a day, but how long it stays that way depends almost entirely on the ground underneath.
Garden steps, paths and landscaping edging
Plenty of gardens in Rochester and the Medway towns slope away from the house, and a muddy bank or a few loose slabs is not a safe way down.
Garden gate installation: timber side gates, posts and latches
A side gate gets opened more than almost anything else in the garden.
