Alloy Wheel Repair, Castle Hill

Castle Hill, in Ebbsfleet Valley, DA10, is 7.3 miles from our Dartford branch via the Dartford Bypass (A2) and Southfleet Road, close to Ebbsfleet International station. The drive takes about 14 minutes outside peak traffic.

This is one of the newer developments in the area, built as part of Ebbsfleet Garden City around the international station, which has its own high-speed rail link to St Pancras. The same Garden City scheme also includes the newer Springhead Park development and a growing run of local shops close to the station. Ebbsfleet Valley straddles the boundary between the boroughs of Dartford and Gravesham, and much of the Castle Hill housing was built by Barratt Homes using local Kentish-style brick and roof detailing. A community venue, the Observatory, hosts events for the wider Garden City scheme.

Freshly laid estate roads, like the ones here, often have speed humps and newly cut kerbs that catch out drivers who aren't used to the layout yet, which is true of most new-build estates, not just this one. The Dartford branch handles the same crack welding, buckled wheel straightening and diamond cut or powder coat refinishing for anyone on a Castle Hill postcode.
