We’re local specialists covering St Mary’s Island and the wider Chatham area, available 24/7 for emergency calls.

We know the challenges here—narrow access roads, elevated balconies, and exposure to Medway winds that can worsen storm damage.

Services We Provide on St Mary’s Island

We handle all types of boarding up tailored to the island’s properties, from quick fixes to more involved installations. Here’s what we offer:

Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes in flats or townhouses, we measure on-site and fit marine plywood sheets that withstand coastal gusts common around the marina.
Door boarding: Securing forced entries with heavy-duty panels or temporary steel doors, ideal for ground-floor homes near the footpaths.
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for any commercial units by the island’s local shops, using reinforced fixings for high-traffic areas.
Roof boarding: Weatherproofing skylights or damaged sections on pitched roofs, especially after debris from Medway storms.

Each job includes an itemised invoice and work statement for your records or insurer.

Emergency Situations We Cover in ME4

St Mary’s Island sees its share of urgent issues, from vandalism on riverside properties to storm-blown slates. We respond to:

Burglary repairs: Securing smashed rear doors or side windows after intruders target quiet cul-de-sacs.
Vandalism repair: Boarding up graffiti-tagged or stone-thrown windows on community-facing homes.
Storm damage: Urgent sheeting for wind-damaged frames, vital with the island’s exposed position.
Fire damage: Post-fire securing (we don’t handle remediation), coordinating if needed with Kent Fire and Rescue.
Flood damage: Boarding swollen openings while allowing ventilation, common after heavy rain swells the Medway.

Keep your police crime reference number handy and take safe photos beforehand—we’ll document everything for your claim.

Property Types We Secure on St Mary’s Island

The area’s modern developments mean varied needs:

Residential: Apartments and semi-detached houses around the marina or near St Mary’s Island Primary School, where access via balconies or rear gardens requires careful non-destructive methods.
Commercial: Small shops or offices by the community centre, needing quick out-of-hours work to minimise downtime.
Vacant properties: Empty flats between lets, secured with steel security screens for longer-term protection against squatters.

For a real example: Last winter, a family home near the bridge had its front bay window shattered by a storm. We arrived promptly, cleared debris safely, fitted a custom plywood panel with anti-lift screws, and left the site weatherproof overnight—customer got photos and an invoice ready for their insurer.
