Boarding Up Burham ME1

If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage, or smashed window in Burham ME1, call 01622 580 086 right away. We’re local boarding-up specialists covering Burham and the wider ME1 postcode around Rochester, available 24/7 for emergency window boarding, door securing, and more. We understand how exposed this quiet Kent village can feel after dark, especially along Rochester Road or near the Medway—getting your property secured quickly reduces further risk and stress.

Burham’s mix of period cottages, semi-detached homes from the mid-20th century, and the odd commercial unit near the old cement works means we see a range of jobs here. From securing a vulnerable back door on Forge Lane after a burglary to boarding up a skylight damaged by wind near St Mary’s Church, our team knows the local challenges like narrow access on village lanes and weatherproofing against river mists.

Services We Provide in Burham ME1

We handle all standard boarding-up needs in Burham, using 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and doors, or heavier-duty options for larger openings. Here’s what we cover:

Window boarding: For cracked panes or forced entries, we fix plywood panels with anti-tamper screws, ensuring no access from outside. Common in Burham’s older homes where wooden frames splinter easily.
Door boarding: Damaged front or rear doors get immediate plywood covers or, for longer-term needs, temporary steel doors fitted non-destructively where possible.
Shopfront boarding: Though Burham is mostly residential, we secure any commercial glazing, like units along Rochester Road, with reinforced OSB panels.
Roof boarding: Overhead damage from storms—think fallen branches near the disused Blue Circle kilns—is tarped and boarded to keep out rain.

For full details on materials and methods, see our services page.
