Services We Provide in Mangravet ME15
We handle all types of boarding up services in Maidstone, tailored to Mangravet’s mix of family homes and occasional small businesses along Church Road.
-
Window boarding: Using 18mm exterior-grade plywood for broken or cracked windows common in these 1960s-1980s homes. We fix with anti-tamper screws to withstand attempts at removal, especially important for unattended properties during school holidays near local academies.
-
Door boarding: Securing forced entries with heavy-duty OSB or temporary steel doors. In Mangravet, where rear access via alleyways off Senacre Lane is vulnerable, we assess frame damage on-site and explain options if replacement is needed.
-
Shopfront boarding: For the few retail units or garages nearby, we use larger reinforced panels fixed to withstand high footfall areas, providing weatherproof security overnight.
-
Roof boarding: Overhead damage from fallen branches—common after storms whipping across open spaces like Mangravet Recreation Ground—is sealed with specialist sheeting and battens for temporary weatherproofing.
Each job includes time-stamped before-and-after photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer. If access is tricky, like steep drives on Hermitage Lane, our technicians use extending ladders and non-destructive methods where possible.
Emergency Situations We Cover in Mangravet
Mangravet’s position between urban Maidstone and rural Loose means varied risks—from teen vandalism near parks to storm debris from the A20. Here’s how we help after common incidents:
-
Burglary: Secure your property after burglary with full perimeter checks. Keep your police crime reference—we’ll note it for documentation.
-
Vandalism: Quick boarding up after vandalism for smashed glass, often seen on estate garages here.
-
Storm damage: Storm damage boarding to prevent water ingress, vital with Mangravet’s exposed ridge-top locations.
-
Fire damage: Post-fire securing (see our fire damage process)—we coordinate with Kent Fire and Rescue if needed, but don’t handle smoke cleanup.
-
Flood damage: Boarding swollen frames (flood damage repairs), ensuring ventilation to avoid mould in these low-lying spots near streams.
Contact your insurer early and take safe photos beforehand. We’re not loss adjusters, but our paperwork meets standard claims requirements.
