Clague were engaged by train operating company Southeastern Ltd and main contractor Redec Ltd to carry out the sympathetic repair of the station, working collaboratively alongside the local council and structural engineers, EAR Sheppard.

Extensive surveys were conducted to establish the scope of repairs which revealed the need to rectify the previous 19^th century, unsympathetic repairs to the station. The most challenging aspect of this project was the need to continue to keep the station open to passengers and trains throughout the works, which involved extensive adaption to working practices. Local materials were used within the restoration works wherever possible, including Wealden clay roof tiles.
