Services We Provide in Harrietsham ME17

We offer a full range of boarding up services tailored to Harrietsham’s mix of residential homes and small commercial spots. Here’s what we handle:

Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes on sash windows common in older Harrietsham cottages. We measure on-site, cut to fit precisely, and seal against weather.
Door boarding: Securing forced entries or damaged frames, including fitting temporary steel doors for added strength if the property might sit empty.
Shopfront boarding: Quick securing for any retail units along the main roads—larger panels with reinforced fixings to deter further tampering.
Roof boarding: For storm-damaged skylights or sections, especially on bungalows or farm outbuildings around the village edges. We use weatherproof methods and advise on safe access.

All work uses materials suited to Kent’s damp climate, and we explain options upfront—if a frame is too damaged, we’ll discuss alternatives before starting.

Emergency Situations We Handle in Harrietsham

Harrietsham sees its share of rural issues like storm winds whipping through the orchards or opportunistic break-ins near the station. We respond to:

Burglary repairs: Post-break-in securing—keep your police reference number handy, and we’ll document everything for insurers.
Vandalism damage: Smashed youth-related incidents on outlying properties; we board up fast to prevent follow-ups.
Storm damage: High winds off the A20 damaging roofs or windows—we prioritise weatherproofing.
Fire damage: Securing after the fire service leaves (we don’t do remediation).
Flood damage: Water-swollen frames from heavy rain; ventilation to avoid mould while securing.
