Services We Provide in Laddingford ME18

We offer a full range of boarding up services tailored to Laddingford’s property types, using materials suited to the Kent countryside’s weather exposure.

Window boarding: For broken panes or cracked frames in those traditional sash windows common around Laddingford. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood, fixed with anti-tamper screws to secure against further intrusion or rain.
Door boarding: Ideal after forced entries on front or side doors. Options include heavy-duty OSB panels or temporary steel doors for longer-term security on vacant farm cottages.
Shopfront boarding: Though Laddingford is mostly residential, we handle any commercial units or pubs like those near the village centre, securing large glazing with reinforced panels.
Roof boarding: For storm-lifted tiles or damaged skylights on bungalows along Bow Road. We weatherproof openings and advise on safe access, especially where ladders are tricky in rural gardens.

All work includes time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised invoice for your insurer. We don’t do repairs or glazing replacement—that’s for your chosen contractor later.

Vandalism: Youth-related window damage near local spots—we board up quickly to prevent escalation, as detailed in vandalism repair.
