Services We Provide in Ditton ME20

We handle all types of boarding up services in Ditton ME20, using 18mm exterior-grade plywood for larger openings or 12mm OSB where suitable. Our technicians are DBS-checked and carry public liability insurance, ensuring safe, professional work even on tricky access like rear gardens in Ditton Little Preston.

Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes in homes along Forstal Road. We measure on-site, fix with anti-tamper screws, and overlap edges to keep weather out—ideal after vandalism or accidents.
Door boarding up: Securing forced entries with heavy-duty plywood or temporary steel doors for medium-term protection. Common for garages or side doors in Ditton’s detached houses.
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for the few retail units near Aylesford Road, using reinforced fixings to withstand tampering—key for businesses staying shut overnight.
Roof boarding: Weatherproofing damaged skylights or roof sections, often after storms hitting exposed bungalows around Leybourne Lake (just on the edge of ME20).

These methods focus on non-destructive fixing where possible; if a frame is too damaged, we’ll explain alternatives before starting. See our full services page for more details.

Why Choose Boarding Up Maidstone for Ditton

We know Ditton inside out: the narrow lanes off Aylesford Road that challenge big vans, the exposed roofs on bungalows catching southwesterly winds, and the quick burglaries targeting unlocked sheds near the Medway paths. Our team has years securing properties here, from post-storm fixes after heavy rains flood low spots to shopfronts hit during busy evenings near the station.

Qualifications matter: DBS-checked staff, full insurance, and materials compliant for insurance claims. No subcontracting—we’re the ones arriving with the gear. Honest about limits: we secure, not repair permanently, and prioritise based on urgency.

Real Ditton scenario: Last winter, a family on Hermitage Lane returned from the Aylesford station commute to find their kitchen window smashed—likely kids messing about. We arrived within the hour (traffic depending), boarded it with 18mm ply using anti-tamper fixings, snapped before/after photos, and invoiced clearly for their home insurance. Property safe overnight, glazier sorted the next day.
