Services We Provide in Strood ME2
We offer targeted boarding up services tailored to Strood’s property mix, using 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and doors, or heavier-duty options for larger openings.
- Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes common in Strood’s older homes around the station. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and secure with anti-tamper screws to keep weather and intruders out.
- Door boarding: Ideal after forced entries on front or rear doors. For medium-term needs, we can fit temporary steel doors that blend security with access.
- Shopfront boarding: Quick securing for retail units on Strood High Street or nearby parades, using reinforced panels to protect stock and deter follow-up damage.
- Roof boarding: For storm-lifted tiles or damaged skylights on warehouses and homes, with weatherproofing to prevent further water ingress.
These keep your property safe until glaziers or repairs arrive, and we provide time-stamped photos for your records.
