Boarding Up Kingswood ME17
If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage, or vandalism in Kingswood (ME17), you need reliable boarding up services in Maidstone that understand the area’s quiet lanes and scattered properties. We’re local specialists covering all of ME17, including Kingswood village, responding 24/7 to secure windows, doors, roofs, and shopfronts. Call 01622 580 086 now—day or night—for prompt assistance without fixed arrival promises, as rural roads like the B2163 Sutton Road can affect journeys.
Kingswood sits just south of Maidstone, a peaceful parish with a mix of period cottages along narrow lanes, semi-detached homes from the mid-20th century, and larger detached houses set back from roads like Kingswood Road. Whether it’s a family home near the Plough Inn pub or a property edging the farmland towards Boughton Monchelsea, we know the local challenges: gated drives, uneven access, and the need for discreet, weatherproof securing in this semi-rural spot. Our team uses 18mm exterior-grade plywood for most openings, with anti-tamper fixings to deter further issues—essential when properties might stand empty overnight.

A Real Kingswood Scenario: Last winter, a homeowner on a secluded lane off Kingswood Road returned to find their rear kitchen window smashed after a burglary. With the house empty for the weekend and rain forecast, they called us out of hours. We fitted 12mm OSB internally to avoid frame damage, added anti-tamper screws, and left full photos and an invoice. The property was secure for their insurer’s inspection the next day—no further weather ingress.
