Services We Provide in Boughton Monchelsea ME17

We offer full boarding up services tailored to Boughton Monchelsea’s properties, using 18mm exterior-grade plywood for weather resistance or 12mm OSB for lighter fixes where suitable. Our technicians carry public liability insurance and use anti-tamper fixings to deter further issues.

Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes in those characteristic sash windows common around the village green. We measure on-site, cut to fit precisely, and seal against rain—vital with the area’s exposed hilltop positions.
Door boarding: Securing forced entries, including fitting temporary steel doors for longer-term protection on vacant farm cottages.
Shopfront boarding: Though commercial spots are rarer here, we cover any units near the Cock Inn or along the B2162, using reinforced panels for quick retail recovery.
Roof boarding: For storm-lifted tiles or skylights on bungalows and barns, focusing on weatherproofing to prevent internal damage.

All work includes time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised statement for your records or insurer.

Emergency Situations We Handle in Boughton Monchelsea

Storms rolling in from the Weald often hit Boughton Monchelsea hard, while opportunistic burglaries target isolated homes. Here’s how we secure after common incidents:

Burglary repairs: Post-break-in, we board smashed rear doors or side windows, explaining non-destructive fixes first if the frame holds.
Vandalism repair: Youths from nearby Downswood occasionally target streetlights or outbuildings—we clean fixings and board securely.
Storm damage: High winds damage roofs near the old windmill site; we tarp and board overhead openings promptly.
Fire damage: After chimney or outhouse fires (coordinated with Kent Fire and Rescue), we secure without remediation.
Flood damage: Swollen frames from valley runoff—we ventilate while boarding to avoid mould.

Keep your police crime reference if applicable, and photograph damage safely before we arrive. We’re not adjusters, but our documentation supports insurance claims.

Property Types We Secure in Boughton Monchelsea ME17

Boughton Monchelsea ME17 features period homes from the 18th century near St Nicholas Church, 20th-century semis along Albany Shaw, and agricultural buildings on the outskirts. We adapt to each:

Residential: Family homes and cottages—quick, discreet service to minimise stress.
Commercial: Pubs like the Cock Inn or small workshops—out-of-hours to avoid disruption.
Vacant properties: Empty farmhouses or tenanted lets—steel security screens for medium-term peace of mind.
