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.
