Services We Provide in Gillingham ME7

We handle all standard boarding up services in Gillingham, using materials suited to local properties. Here’s what we offer:

Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes in homes near Woodlands Park or flats above shops on Gillingham High Street. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood, fixed with anti-tamper screws to withstand weather and attempts to remove it.
Door boarding: Securing kicked-in doors on terraced houses in the Grange area or temporary steel doors for longer-term needs. Non-destructive methods where possible, but we’ll assess frame damage on-site.
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail units at Hempstead Valley or along Station Road. OSB or plywood overlays, secured to prevent further intrusion during out-of-hours periods.
Roof boarding: For storm-damaged skylights or missing tiles on bungalows and low-rise blocks common in ME7 suburbs. We weatherproof from ladders where safe, explaining any access limits upfront.

These keep your property safe until glaziers or repairs arrive. For full details on our emergency boarding up in Maidstone, see our services page.

Real Gillingham scenario: Last winter, a shop owner on Rainham Road called after vandals targeted his storefront overnight near Hempstead Valley.
