Who we work with in Colchester
Colchester is with meaningful commercial activity (25%), with dense urban stretches (5%). That shapes how we work here — 1-2-1 family training in the majority, plus residential board-and-train for owners who want a full reset.
Why our training suits Colchester
Colchester — CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4 postcodes, Colchester local authority, roughly 7 miles from Dedham and around 12 miles from Thorpe-le-Soken.
Lexden's larger detached homes, period townhouses — that's the profile we build the work around. Around Colchester we see a mix of Roman-quarter townhouses and Lexden detached, and the training reflects that.
