Services We Provide in West Malling ME19

We handle all standard boarding up needs across ME19, using materials suited to local conditions like the damp Kent weather.

Window boarding: For cracked or broken windows common in West Malling’s older homes. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to fit precisely, fixed with anti-tamper screws to prevent easy removal from outside.
Door boarding: Securing forced entries or damaged frames. Options include heavy-duty OSB panels or temporary steel doors for longer-term protection on vacant properties.
Shopfront boarding: Quick response for retail units along the High Street. Larger panels with reinforced fixings to withstand potential repeat vandalism.
Roof boarding: For storm-damaged skylights or roof openings, especially on bungalows or commercial flat roofs nearby. We weatherproof with overlapping sheets and secure access points.

These services keep your property safe until glaziers or repairs arrive. We don’t do glass replacement ourselves but provide clear documentation with time-stamped photos for your insurer.

Our Local Coverage Around West Malling ME19

We focus on ME19, including West Malling itself, Kings Hill, and Leybourne.

We also respond quickly to bordering areas like boarding up East Malling ME19, boarding up Kings Hill ME19, boarding up Leybourne ME19, boarding up Larkfield ME20, and boarding up Aylesford ME20.

A real example: Last winter, a homeowner on Town Hill returned from London Victoria (just a quick hop from West Malling station) to find their rear door forced after a burglary.
