Nettlestead’s mix of historic farmhouses, period cottages near St Mary’s Church, and modern homes dotted along Maidstone Road makes it vulnerable to weather-related issues from the nearby Medway or isolated burglaries targeting unattended properties. We know the area well: narrow access roads, riverside challenges, and the need for discreet, non-intrusive work that blends with the village character. Whether it’s securing a damaged window on a remote farmhouse or boarding a garage door after vandalism, our team handles it efficiently.

Services We Provide in Nettlestead ME18

We offer full boarding up services tailored to Nettlestead’s rural properties and occasional commercial spots like village pubs. Each uses durable materials suited to Kent’s weather:

Window boarding: 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to fit sash or casement windows common in local period homes. Anti-tamper fixings secure from the inside, preventing further intrusion.
Door boarding: For forced entries on stable doors or uPVC replacements, using 18mm plywood or temporary steel doors where longer security is needed.
Shopfront boarding: Though rare in Nettlestead, we secure any commercial glazing, like at a local inn, with larger OSB panels and heavy-duty fixings.
Roof boarding: Weatherproofing for storm-damaged skylights or pitched roofs on farm outbuildings, with scaffolding if access is tricky over rural terrain.

All work includes time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised statement for your records or insurer.

Emergency Situations We Handle in Nettlestead

Nettlestead’s position in the Medway Valley means storm damage or flooding can hit hard, while burglars target isolated homes. Here’s how we respond:

Burglary repairs: Secure smashed windows or kicked-in doors immediately after police leave—vital for riverside properties left empty.
Vandalism repair: Quick boarding for graffiti or stone-throwing incidents on village cottages.
Storm damage: Boarding wind-lifted slates or debris-hit windows, protecting against further rain from the Medway.
Fire damage: Post-fire securing (smoke cleanup is separate), coordinating if fire services are still on scene near Nettlestead Place.
Flood damage: Boarding swollen frames on low-lying homes, with ventilation to aid drying.

Keep your police reference or incident number ready—we provide insurer-ready documentation.

Real scenario: Last winter, high winds off the Medway blew slates from a barn roof on a Nettlestead farmstead near Wateringbury Road. We accessed via ladder over uneven ground, boarded the gable end with 18mm plywood, and tarped for weatherproofing—photos and invoice handed over before leaving, allowing the owner to claim swiftly.
