Boarding Up Wigmore ME8 | 24/7 Emergency Services
If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage, or smashed window in Wigmore ME8, call 01622 580 086 now for fast, reliable boarding up. We’re local specialists covering the ME postcodes, including this busy residential suburb in Gillingham, and we operate 24/7 with no call-out charges. Whether it’s a family home on Hempstead Road or a unit at Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre, we secure properties quickly to prevent further damage or intrusion.
Wigmore’s mix of 1970s semis, modern estates, and low-rise flats around Deanwood and Barnsole makes it prone to the usual Kentish issues—vandalism from bored teens, storm-blown slates from exposed ridges, or burglaries targeting unlocked rear doors. We know the area inside out: the quick access via the A289 to Rainham railway station, the loop around Hempstead Valley Drive, and how traffic builds up near the shopping centre on weekends. Our team gets to you fast, often within the hour for true emergencies, prioritising Wigmore ME8 alongside nearby spots.
Services We Provide in Wigmore ME8
We handle all standard boarding up needs with materials suited to local conditions—like 18mm exterior-grade plywood that withstands Medway’s damp winds.
- Window boarding: For cracked panes or forced entries in those typical Wigmore bay windows. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and secure with anti-tamper screws from inside where possible.
- Door boarding: Damaged uPVC or timber doors get plywood covers or, for longer-term needs, temporary steel doors that lock securely.
- Shopfront boarding: Quick response for retail hits at Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre—larger OSB panels fixed to frames without damaging brickwork.
- Roof boarding: Slates lifted by gales? We access safely (ladders or cherry pickers for steeper pitches) and weatherproof skylights or holes.
All work uses non-destructive methods first, but we’ll advise if frame replacement is needed. You get time-stamped before/after photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer.
Common Emergency Situations in Wigmore
Wigmore sees its share of incidents, from joyriders on local estates to winter storms rattling loose gutters. Here’s how we help:
- After burglary: Secure the breach fast—most common on ground-floor windows facing Deanwood Park. See our burglary repairs guide.
- Storm damage: High winds off the estuary down slates; we tarpaulin first, then board. Check storm damage details.
- Vandalism: Smashed glass in side alleys or near bus stops—plywood up same day. More at vandalism repair.
- Fire damage: Post-blaze securing (we don’t do remediation)—coordinate with Kent Fire and Rescue if needed. Read fire damage.
- Flood damage: Swollen frames from heavy rain pooling on drives; ventilation holes prevent mould. Our flood damage process.
Keep your police crime reference if applicable, and snap photos before we arrive (if safe). We’re not adjusters, but our paperwork supports claims smoothly.
