We’re local specialists covering the whole ME16 area—from Hermitage Lane and North Street to properties near Barming railway station and the Church of St Margaret. Available 24/7, we secure homes, shops, and businesses quickly to prevent further damage or intrusion.
Barming’s mix of family homes along Beverley Road, semi-detached houses backing onto Barming Heath, and the occasional commercial unit near the station means we see all sorts of urgent jobs. A typical call might come from a homeowner on Redewood Road after overnight vandalism—we arrive equipped, assess the damage, and board up securely using 18mm exterior-grade plywood fixed with anti-tamper screws. No fixed arrival times, as traffic on the A26 or local roadworks can vary, but we prioritise Barming calls and keep you updated.
Services We Provide in Barming ME16
We handle all standard boarding up needs tailored to Barming’s properties:
- Window boarding: For cracked panes or forced entries in double-glazed units common in local semis. We measure on-site and use OSB or plywood cut to fit, secured without further frame damage where possible.
- Door boarding: Temporary plywood covers or temporary steel doors for kicked-in front doors on terraced homes or side access gates.
- Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for any retail units along the main roads, using reinforced fixings to withstand overnight attempts.
- Roof boarding: Weatherproofing for storm-lifted tiles on bungalows or loft conversions, often accessed via cherry pickers for safety.
These services keep your property protected until glaziers or builders arrive. For full details, see our services page.

Why Choose Boarding Up Maidstone for Barming Jobs
We know Barming inside out—the tight turns on Hermitage Lane, parking challenges near the station, and how wind whips across open Heath fields, loosening fixings. With years securing properties across ME postcodes, we use the right materials: 18mm plywood for weather resistance, anti-tamper fixings to deter opportunists.
We’re honest about what we do: we secure openings, not repair them. No smoke remediation after fires or full rebuilds—that’s for specialists. But you get clear documentation for insurance claims, including before/after photos. Public liability insured, DBS-checked team, and straightforward pricing based on size and access—see our pricing page for factors.
Last month, a Barming couple on North Street had their rear patio door forced after a burglary. We boarded it with a temporary steel door overnight, explained options to their insurer, and left them with full paperwork. Property safe, stress reduced.
