Services We Provide in Hollingbourne ME17

We handle every type of boarding up tailored to Hollingbourne’s properties, using materials suited to Kent’s damp climate and exposed locations.

Window Boarding

Cracked panes or full breakages on those characteristic Hollingbourne cottage windows? We secure with 18mm exterior-grade plywood, fixed with anti-tamper screws. It weatherproofs overnight and deters further issues. See full details on window boarding.

Door Boarding

From swollen timber front doors after rain to forced entries on back gates, we board up or fit temporary steel doors for better medium-term security—ideal for unattended farm properties.

Shopfront and Commercial Boarding

Hollingbourne has a few local businesses like the Chequers Inn or roadside units; we cover shopfront boarding with heavy-duty OSB panels or steel screens to keep trading going.

Roof and Overhead Boarding

Storm-lifted tiles on Hollingbourne Hill roofs or damaged skylights? We access safely (ladders, scaffolding if needed) and board to prevent water ingress. More on roof boarding.

All our work uses non-destructive fixings where possible, preserving frames for glaziers later.

Common Emergency Situations in Hollingbourne

Hollingbourne’s position between the M20 and rural lanes exposes properties to specific risks—vandalism from passing traffic, storm winds whipping across open fields, or opportunistic break-ins.

• Burglary: A rear window smashed while you’re out—secure it fast to stop squatters. Read about post-burglary securing.
• Vandalism: Youths targeting parked vans or pub windows; we clean up and board securely (vandalism repair).
• Storm Damage: High winds off the North Downs damaging roofs or outbuildings (storm damage boarding).
• Fire Damage: Post-fire securing after a chimney issue in an old cottage—we coordinate with Kent Fire and Rescue (fire damage).

In each case, we provide time-stamped photos before/after, plus an itemised statement for your insurer.
