Linton’s mix of historic cottages along The Street, larger homes near Linton Hill, and outlying farms means we deal with everything from tight access Victorian frames to barn-style openings. Whether you’re a homeowner near St Nicholas Church, a farmer securing a remote outbuilding, or managing a small business by the village green, we know the local challenges—like navigating narrow lanes after dark or working around live hedges without causing more disruption.

Services We Provide in Linton ME17

We offer a full range of boarding up services tailored to Linton’s properties, using materials suited to Kent’s weather. Our technicians carry public liability insurance and are DBS-checked for peace of mind.

Window boarding: For cracked panes or forced entries in sash windows common around Linton Place. We measure on-site, cut 18mm exterior-grade plywood to fit precisely, and secure with anti-tamper screws from the inside where possible. This keeps weather out and opportunists away until glaziers arrive.
Door boarding: Damaged front doors on period homes or side gates on farms. Options include heavy-duty OSB panels or temporary steel doors for longer-term security if the frame needs full replacement.
Shopfront boarding: Though Linton has few retail units, we handle any small commercial frontages or pubs like The Chequers with reinforced plywood and overlap fixings to withstand wind gusts off the North Downs.
Roof boarding: Skylights or storm-lifted tiles on bungalows near Heath Road. We use scaffold boards for safe access and seal with heavy-duty tarps underneath to prevent leaks into attics.

Every job includes time-stamped photos before and after, plus a written statement of work for your insurer. We don’t do permanent repairs—that’s for specialists—but we make sure your property is watertight and secure straight away.

Emergency Situations We Handle in Linton

Linton’s exposed position near the Downs means wind damage is common, alongside rural burglaries targeting isolated homes. Here’s how we respond to typical emergency boarding up calls in ME17:

Burglary repairs: After a forced entry at a detached house off Linton Hill, we board the damaged window or door within hours, providing police-compatible documentation.
Vandalism repair: Smashed glass from youth gatherings near the village hall—quick plywood fixes with no-trace removal later.
Storm damage: Fallen branches through roofs after North Downs gales; we tarp and board overhead openings safely.
Fire damage: Post-blaze securing (we coordinate with Kent Fire and Rescue if needed), focusing on structural openings without handling smoke cleanup.
Flood damage: Swollen frames from heavy rain on clay soils around here—we ventilate while boarding to reduce mould risk.

Call 01622 580 086 as soon as it’s safe. Note your police crime reference if applicable, and take photos beforehand for insurance.

Property Types We Secure in Linton ME17

Linton’s housing stock is predominantly rural-residential: think Wealden hall houses, converted barns, and 20th-century semis clustered around the parish church and green. We adapt our methods accordingly.

Residential properties: Family homes and cottages where discretion matters—minimal disruption, child/pet-safe fixings.
Commercial properties: Pubs, farm offices, or the odd village shop—larger panels for high-traffic doors, compliant with trading standards.
Vacant properties: Empty farmhouses or lets between tenants—steel security screens for weeks-long protection against squatters.

For a real Linton example: Last winter, a barn conversion on the edge of the village suffered storm damage to its Velux rooflights. High winds off the Downs lifted slates, threatening the interior. Our team accessed via ladder (no cherry picker needed for the pitch), boarded the openings with marine plywood, and tarped underneath. The owner got photos and an invoice the next day, claim sorted with no hassle.
