Services We Provide in Eccles ME20

We handle all standard boarding up needs tailored to Eccles properties, using materials suited to the local weather—18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and doors, or heavier-duty options for larger openings.

Window Boarding: For cracked or broken panes common in older semis along London Road. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and secure with anti-tamper screws to keep weather and intruders out. See more on window boarding.
Door Boarding Up: Damaged front or rear doors get plywood covers or, for longer-term needs, temporary steel doors. Ideal after forced entries in rural spots where properties might sit empty. Details at door boarding.
Shopfront Boarding: Though Eccles is mostly residential, we cover any small retail or trade units nearby, using reinforced OSB panels for quick, sturdy fixes. Learn about shopfront boarding.
Roof Boarding: For storm-damaged roofs or skylights, especially on bungalows exposed to Medway Valley winds. We weatherproof openings safely from ground level where possible. Check roof boarding.

These services use non-destructive fixings where frames allow, preserving your property for glaziers later.

Emergency Situations We Handle in Eccles ME20

Eccles sees its share of rural break-ins, vandalism from passing traffic, and storm damage from exposed positions near Blue Bell Hill. Here’s how we respond:

Burglary: Secure the entry point immediately—most common after dark when homes along the A20 feel isolated. We provide photos and a work statement for your police reference and insurer. More at burglary repairs.
Vandalism: Smashed youth-related damage to garages or outbuildings; we board up fast to prevent follow-ups.
Storm Damage: High winds off the Downs batter roofs and windows—our priority is weatherproofing. See storm damage.
Fire Damage: Post-fire securing (we don’t do remediation), coordinating if fire crews are still on scene near St Bartholomew’s Church.
Flood Damage: Medway floods swell frames; we ventilate while boarding. Guidance on flood damage.

Take photos if safe, note your police CAD number, and contact your insurer early—we’ll supply what they need.

Property Types We Secure in Eccles ME20

Eccles’ housing stock leans towards 1960s-80s bungalows and semis, with some modern builds and vacant plots near farms. We adapt to each:

Residential: Family homes and rentals—quick, discreet service to get you back to normal. Residential boarding.
Commercial: Workshops or small businesses on the outskirts, often needing out-of-hours work. Commercial properties.
Vacant Properties: Between lets or sales, we fit steel security screens for weeks-long protection against squatters. Vacant property securing.

For a real Eccles example: Last winter, a bungalow on Eccles Road suffered a burglary—rear door forced while owners were away. We arrived via the A20, fitted a temporary steel door with anti-tamper fixings, took time-stamped photos of before/after, and issued an itemised invoice. The insurer approved it without question, and the glazier followed two days later.

Why Choose Us for Boarding Up in Eccles ME20

We’re not fly-by-nights—we know Eccles like locals do. That means understanding access challenges on single-track roads, the prevalence of UPVC frames in newer homes, and how to fix without causing more damage. Our technicians are DBS-checked, fully insured (public liability), and use proper tools for clean jobs.

We don’t guarantee “30 minutes” because M20 hold-ups happen, but urgent Eccles calls jump the queue. You’ll get transparent pricing based on size/materials (no surprises), plus documentation insurers expect: photos, descriptions, invoices. We’re honest—if a frame needs replacing before boarding, we’ll say so upfront. For more on costs, visit pricing.

Unlike general handymen, we specialise in temporary securing—plywood to BS standards, screws that resist jemmying. And we’re here 24/7, no premium for nights or weekends.
