How to find us
We are just off the main road through Walmer. Heading towards Deal, come into Upper Walmer until you see the Marines Barracks on the left. Opposite the Jubilee Gate is Cambridge Road - you'll see the Cambridge Arms pub on the corner and the turning is just before. We are between the pub and the sea on the corner of Cambridge Road and Grove Road.
Photo Diary
We kept a photo diary of progress during the building work for the new surgery - here's what's been happening behind the scaffolding for the last four months!
| 25th September 2010 | 
We're nearly there! Starting to kit out Reception with desks and chairs. 
Equipment going into the consulting room includes a diagnostic set for looking into eyes and ears. 
The back room acquires a collection of paint pots and a new washing machine.
|
| 10th September 2010 | 
The shiplap and painting is finished on the front and half the scaffolding comes down! 
The front looking smart with new windows, boarding and paint - and the new name on the surgery windows!
|
| 28th August 2010 | 
The decorating in the back room is finished... 
...and it's ready for fitting with kennels.
|
| 22nd August 2010 | 
Floors go down in the consulting room... 
...and reception. The central heating is fitted... 
..and Uncle Roy fits phone and computer network points.
|
| 5th August 2010 | 
The plastering is all finished and painting has begun. This is reception - we might need a new desk... 
This is the consulting room looking towards the back. I don't think the kettle will stay there! 
This pile of rubbish will become a kitchen.
|
| 29th July 2010 | 
We are wired for sound! And electricity, gas, telephones and computer networking. 
New windows upstairs 
Preparation for new windows 
Walls are plastered - this will be our reception

| 23rd July 2010 | 
The new shop front goes in - the end is in sight! 
New side windows - and a few gaps... 
A new back door and top windows
|
| 19th July 2010 | 
The building disappears behind boards and scaffolding in preparation for the new shop front 
The side is prepared for new cladding 
Downstairs, however, is still a work-in-progress... 
Walls go in upstairs and it starts looking like somewhere someone could live! 
New insulation goes in to help make the building as energy-efficient as possible
|
| 22nd June 2010 | Upstairs becomes a big empty space... ...and downstairs becomes a scrapyard. The boys keep themselves busy!
|
| 12th June 2010 |  Milly decides that demolition really isn't her thing 
We discover half a dozen brass doorhandles in the ceiling 
Uncle Roy thinks it must be time for a cup of tea

Inside downstairs 
The old workshops upstairs 
We haven't been brave enough to investigate the loft yet! Planning permission is granted and we will be moving into 4 Cambridge Road, Walmer, Deal. The building has been an electrical shop and workshop; and was originally connected to the Cambridge Arms pub next door. These are the "before" pictures! |
