Services We Provide in Rainham ME8
We offer a full range of boarding up services tailored to Rainham’s properties, from quick fixes to more robust solutions:
- Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes in semis and flats around Moorlands Playing Fields. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and fix securely to prevent weather ingress or break-ins.
- Door boarding: Ideal after forced entries on front or rear doors in terraced homes off the high street. Options include temporary steel doors for added strength.
- Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail units on Rainham High Street or near the station, using heavy-duty OSB and reinforced fixings.
- Roof boarding: Securing skylights or damaged sections on bungalows and commercial roofs, with weatherproofing to protect against rain.
These services use materials suited to Rainham’s exposed position near the Thames estuary—durable against wind and damp.
