Boarding Up Mereworth ME18
If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage or smashed window in Mereworth ME18, call 01622 580 086 now for emergency boarding up. We’re local specialists covering the whole ME18 area—from the historic cottages along the B2010 to larger properties near Mereworth Castle—available 24/7 with no call-out charges. We prioritise urgent jobs in this quiet Kent village, getting to you as quickly as conditions allow to secure your property against weather, intruders or further damage.
Mereworth’s mix of period homes, farmhouses and the occasional rural business means we see everything from Victorian sash windows in the older properties around St Lawrence Church to modern patio doors on newer builds off School Lane. Our team knows the narrow lanes and the A26 bottlenecks, so we handle access challenges without fuss. Whether it’s a late-night vandalism hit or post-storm roof damage, we use the right materials and methods to make your property secure until glaziers or builders arrive.
Services We Provide in Mereworth ME18
We offer full boarding up services tailored to Mereworth’s property styles, 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 in those characteristic bay windows on village homes. We measure on-site, cut to fit precisely and secure with anti-tamper screws to withstand rural opportunists.
- Door boarding up: Ideal after kick-ins on stable doors or uPVC frontages common here. Options include temporary steel doors for longer-term security on vacant farm outbuildings.
- Shopfront boarding: Though Mereworth has few retail units—like the local pub or village shop—we secure any commercial glazing quickly, minimising downtime.
- Roof boarding: Essential after tile loss from high winds sweeping across Mereworth Downs. We weatherproof skylights and pitched roofs, often using scaffolding for safe access.
All work uses materials suited to Kent’s damp climate, and we provide time-stamped photos before/after for your records or insurance claims.
Emergency Situations We Handle in Mereworth
Village life in Mereworth doesn’t stop bad luck. We’ve secured properties after all these scenarios—here’s how we help, with links for more detail:
- Burglary repairs: Post-break-in, we board up fast—think a smashed kitchen window on a remote farmhouse off Farleigh Lane.
- Vandalism damage: Youths targeting cars or outbuildings; we clean up glass and secure overnight.
- Storm damage: High winds off the Downs rip slates or batter windows—we prioritise weatherproofing.
- Fire damage: After chimney or electrical fires in older homes, we secure while firefighters clear.
- Flood damage: Medway valley proximity means swollen frames; we ventilate and board to prevent mould.
Take photos if safe, note your police reference, and call 01622 580 086—we’ll guide you on next steps.
Property Types We Secure in Mereworth ME18
Mereworth’s housing stock is predominantly residential, with stone cottages from the 1700s clustered near the village green, semi-detached 1930s homes along the main roads, and grander estates influenced by Mereworth Castle. We adapt to:
- Residential properties: Family homes and bungalows—quick, discreet service to get you back to normal.
- Commercial properties: Pubs, small workshops or farm offices; we work out of hours to avoid disrupting trade.
- Vacant properties: Empty cottages or barns between lets—steel security screens for extended protection.
For instance, last winter a vacant period cottage near Mereworth Woods suffered storm damage to its dormer window. Narrow access via single-track lanes? No problem—we used lightweight OSB panels and non-destructive fixings, leaving the owner with full documentation for their insurer.
