We’re local specialists covering the Isle of Sheppey, including Minster-on-Sea, with 24/7 availability for urgent jobs.

Minster ME12 mixes quiet residential streets with coastal exposure. From the historic cottages near Minster Abbey to bungalows along Marine Parade and semis backing onto Minster railway station, we know the area’s property stock and the challenges it faces—salt spray weakening frames, high winds battering exposed windows, or opportunistic vandalism after dark. Whether it’s a family home on the edge of the marshes or a small business near the high street, our team secures it properly with 18mm exterior-grade plywood or 12mm OSB where suitable, using anti-tamper fixings to hold against the elements.
Services We Provide in Minster ME12
We handle all standard boarding up needs across ME12, tailored to coastal conditions:
- Window boarding: For cracked panes or forced entries, we measure on-site and fix plywood panels securely. Common after gales hitting seafront properties.
- Door boarding: Damaged front or rear doors get immediate protection, including options for temporary steel doors on vacant spots.
- Shopfront boarding: Larger commercial glazing around Minster’s few retail units—weatherproof and tamper-resistant.
- Roof boarding: Skylights or storm-lifted tiles on bungalows and older homes; we use scaffolding where needed for safe access.
These keep weather out and opportunists away until glaziers or repairs arrive. See our full services page for more details.

Why Choose Boarding Up Maidstone for Minster ME12
We know Sheppey’s tides and winds mean jobs must withstand salt and squalls—unlike generic outfits. Our DBS-checked technicians carry public liability insurance and use trade-standard materials. We’ve handled tricky accesses, like steep drives near Minster railway station or tight alleys by the abbey.
A real Minster scenario: Last winter, gales smashed a seafront bungalow’s rear window off Marine Parade. We arrived amid the cleanup, assessed the frame (too buckled for non-invasive fixes), fitted 18mm plywood with coach bolts and silicone seals, then emailed photos and a work statement by morning. Insurer approved it straight away—no fuss.
No hollow promises—we’re straight about limits: if tides block access, we’ll explain alternatives. Transparent pricing factors at /pricing/.
