Boughton under Blean sits in the heart of rural Kent, known for its village green, the Church of St Peter and St Paul, and the annual Goose Fair that draws locals from nearby Dunkirk and Hernhill. With its mix of period farmhouses, thatched cottages, and modern homes edging towards the A299, the area sees everything from isolated rural break-ins to storm-battered roofs. Our team knows these roads well—whether you’re off Boughton Street or closer to Selling railway station—and we prioritise urgent calls from ME13 without fixed arrival promises, as conditions like traffic on the A2 can vary.
Services We Provide in Boughton under Blean ME13
We handle all standard boarding up services tailored to local needs, using 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and doors or heavier-duty options for larger openings.
- Window boarding: Ideal for cracked panes in those characteristic sash windows on older homes. We measure on-site, fix with anti-tamper screws, and seal gaps to keep out rain—common after vandalism here.
- Door boarding: For forced entries, including fitting temporary steel doors on farmhouses or bungalows where plywood alone won’t suffice.
- Shopfront boarding: Though Boughton under Blean is mostly residential, we cover the few village shops or pubs like the Queen’s Head with reinforced panels.
- Roof boarding: Securing skylights or damaged sections on barns and outbuildings, especially vital in this exposed countryside spot.
These keep properties weatherproof and secure until glaziers or builders arrive.
