Services We Provide in Maidstone ME14

We cover all the core boarding up services tailored to Maidstone’s property mix, using 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and doors, or heavier-duty options for larger openings. Our DBS-checked team arrives equipped, providing time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised invoice for your records.

Window boarding: For cracked panes in Victorian sash windows common around Maidstone West station or modern uPVC in town centre flats. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and use anti-tamper screws to prevent easy removal.
Door boarding: Securing kicked-in front doors on terraced streets like King Street, or fitting temporary steel doors for longer-term protection on vacant units.
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail glazing on the High Street or Fremlin Walk, where quick reinstatement minimises trading loss. We handle overnight jobs to get businesses open by morning.
Roof boarding: Weatherproofing holes from fallen tiles or storm debris, especially on older pitched roofs in ME14’s conservation areas. Access via scaffold if needed, but we explain options upfront.

For full details on materials—like why we prefer OSB for smaller openings—see our services page.
