Do Jones Britain only cover Tunbridge Wells?

12 October 2023

“Do Jones Britain only cover Tunbridge Wells?”

A question we are often asked is ‘what area do we cover’

The simple answer is that we will happily work with clients from any location. Although we are based just outside Royal Tunbridge wells and have plenty of clients in and around the Tunbridge wells area we will work with anyone anywhere. Our furthest afield work has been the south of France and we have done work deep into Cornwall too. It’s safe to say though that most of or work is within a 20 mile radius of Tunbridge Wells

Working further afield does make things harder. It’s very difficult to get a plasterer to travel 4-5 hours to go and plaster a room or sending a plumber that distance just to tighten a loose tap however our fitters are used to working away from home and if a project is more than a couple of hours away then we’d normally allow a costing for accommodation within the project figures.

We’ve done quite a lot of work in Wiltshire, for example. Our fitters stay in an AirB&B which allows them to still be on site at 8am in the morning and they tend to work longer hours and complete the project in less time.

For those customer more local to us here’s a list of towns and villages that we regularly work in:

Tunbridge Wells
Crowborough
Groombridge
Tonbridge
Sevenoaks
East Grinstead
Forest Row
Mayfield
Wadhurst
Ticehurst
Cranbrook
Benenden
Heathfield

Here’s a kitchen we fitted in Billingshurst which is further afield.

Our showroom is in Groombridge so we do find ourselves in some of the smaller villages around us like:

Penshurst
Withyham
Cowden
Ashurstwood
Chelwood Gate
Firwarp
Maresfield
Buxted
Rotherfield
Hadlow Down
Mark Cross
Bells Yew Green
Matfield
Horsmonden
Marden
Yalding
Hadlow
Ightham
Knockholt
Edenbridge
