Services We Provide in Snodland ME6
We handle all standard boarding up services tailored to Snodland’s properties, using materials suited to the area’s damp Medway climate and varied building styles.
-
Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes in Victorian bay windows common on Vicarage Lane or modern double-glazing in newer builds. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to fit precisely, secured with anti-tamper screws to weatherproof and deter further intrusion.
-
Door boarding: Securing forced entries on uPVC or timber doors, especially after burglaries in the residential pockets off Malling Road. Options include heavy-duty OSB panels or temporary steel doors for added strength if the property will be empty.
-
Shopfront boarding: Quick securing for the retail units along High Street after vandalism or accidents. Larger panels with reinforced fixings handle the bigger glazing areas typical here.
-
Roof boarding: For storm-damaged skylights or sections near the riverbanks, where water ingress is a big risk. We access safely and seal overhead openings to prevent further damage.
These aren’t permanent repairs—we focus on secure, temporary protection so you can arrange glaziers or builders next. Our work includes time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised invoice for your insurance claim.
Emergency Situations We Cover in Snodland
Snodland sees its share of incidents, from youths targeting parked cars near the station to winds whipping up along the Medway. Here’s how we respond to common situations:
-
Burglary: After a break-in, we secure doors and windows fast—vital in Snodland’s close-knit streets where word spreads. See our burglary repairs process.
-
Vandalism: Smashed glass on High Street shops or homes in the older estates. We clean up loose shards safely and board securely (vandalism repair).
-
Storm damage: High winds off the river can fell branches into roofs or windows, especially around Lulls Wood. Emergency storm damage securing keeps the weather out.
-
Fire damage: Post-fire, once the brigade clears, we board up to protect from looters (fire damage). We don’t do smoke cleanup—that’s for specialists.
-
Flood damage: Swollen frames after heavy rain near the Medway need careful ventilation during boarding (flood damage).
In every case, take photos if safe, note your police reference (Kent Police covers ME6), and contact your insurer early. We’re not adjusters, but our documentation matches what they need.

Why Choose Us for Boarding Up in Snodland
We stand out because we know Snodland inside out—from navigating the narrow lanes off Cow Lane during rush hour to sizing boards for the shallow frames in pre-war homes near the station. Our DBS-checked technicians carry public liability insurance, and we’ve handled countless jobs in ME6’s unique setups, like securing against the damp from river mists.
No fixed arrival promises—traffic on the A228 or bridge queues vary—but we triage calls by urgency and equip vans for most scenarios on first visit. If a frame’s too damaged for screws alone, we’ll explain plywood overlays or steel alternatives upfront. Customers get clear invoices, compliance notes, and follow-up if needed. We’re practical locals, not a national chain reading from a script.
Take this real scenario: A family on Vicarage Lane returned from a weekend away to find their back door kicked in. Glass everywhere, raining inside. We arrived within the hour window, cleared hazards, fitted a temporary steel door (stronger than ply for their detached garage setup), and sent photos plus invoice by morning. Insurer approved it straight away—no hassle.
