Staple is the smaller settlement south-west of Wingham on Church Lane and the Staple Road. Orchard-country cottages, converted farm plots, longer rural boundaries backing onto working fruit-belt land. Chalk substrate on the ridge behind the village.
What the work looks like: Farm-gate hardware rebuilds on orchard-side field gates. Longer rear-boundary fence repair. Cottage timber-repair on the older Staple Road stock. Small render patch on cottage walls that have taken orchard-side weather.
Typical spec: Farm-gate hinge rebuild £180-320. Orchard-boundary fence panel reset £80-140. Cottage rear-elevation gutter clear £180.
