Rushenden’s exposed position on Sheppey makes it prone to wind-whipped storms off the Swale estuary and occasional vandalism around the marshes. We’ve handled jobs here after high tides battered seafront homes or when opportunists targeted unattended properties near the old brickworks site. Our team knows the narrow lanes, the height of those sea wall properties, and how salt air affects frames—we adapt our fixings accordingly.

Services We Provide in Rushenden ME11

We offer full boarding up services tailored to Rushenden’s mix of residential homes, harbour-side units, and the occasional commercial space. Here’s what we cover:

Window Boarding

Smashed panes from stones or storms? We measure on-site and fit 18mm plywood sheets with anti-tamper screws. For Rushenden’s older sash windows, we use non-destructive fixings where possible to preserve frames—vital if you’re claiming on insurance.

Door Boarding Up

Forced entries leave gaps; we secure with heavy-duty OSB or install temporary steel doors for better medium-term protection. In tight spots like terraced homes off Rushenden Road, our two-person teams handle access without extra damage.

Shopfront Boarding

Though Rushenden has fewer retail spots, nearby harbour businesses get large-panel plywood or security screens. We overlap sheets for wind resistance, essential here with estuary gusts.

Roof and Skylight Boarding

Coastal roofs take a beating—debris from Rushenden Marshes or slipped tiles. We use scaffold where safe or extendable poles for access, sealing with weatherproof membranes underneath.

All work uses materials suited to Sheppey’s damp conditions, and we provide time-stamped photos before/after for your records.

Common Situations We Handle in Rushenden ME11

Rushenden sees its share of incidents tied to its coastal edge. After the event:

  • Burglary: Secure the entry point fast—most common after dark when properties near Queenborough station stand empty. See our burglary repairs process.
  • Storm Damage: High winds off the estuary smash windows or lift roof sections. We prioritise weatherproofing. Details on storm damage.
  • Vandalism: Youths around the marshes or paths target ground-floor windows. Quick boarding deters repeat visits—vandalism repair.
  • Fire Damage: Post-blaze securing (not cleanup)—we coordinate with Kent Fire and Rescue if needed. More at fire damage.
  • Flood Damage: Swollen doors from tidal surges; we ventilate while securing. Check flood damage.

Keep your police crime reference or fire log number handy—we’ll note it on our invoice for insurers.

Property Types We Secure in Rushenden ME11

Rushenden’s housing stock—bungalows on the marshes, semi-detached homes near the sea wall, and a few ex-industrial units—shapes our approach:

  • Residential: Low-level access for single-glazed windows common in pre-war properties. Residential boarding.
  • Commercial: Harbour workshops or small units need robust shopfronts. Commercial options.
  • Vacant Properties: Steel security screens for voids between lets, popular here with holiday homes. Vacant property securing.

One recent call-out: A Rushenden bungalow near the coastal path had its rear door stove in during a storm. Tide had weakened the frame, so we fitted a temporary steel door with anti-lift bars, took photos at dusk, and left an itemised sheet explaining the marine-grade fixings used. Owner was back with their insurer next morning.
