Boarding Up Wouldham ME1

If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage, or a smashed window in Wouldham ME1, boarding up Wouldham ME1 specialists are ready to help around the clock. We’re local to the ME postcodes, including this quiet village on the banks of the River Medway, and we respond to urgent calls day or night. A simple call to 01622 580 086 gets our DBS-checked team on the way—we know the narrow lanes off Wouldham Road and the challenges of securing properties near the water.

Wouldham’s mix of period cottages along The Street, modern family homes backing onto farmland, and the occasional riverside outbuilding means we see a range of securing needs. Whether it’s a Victorian sash window cracked by vandals or a garage door battered by high winds off the Medway, we use the right materials and methods to make your property weatherproof and secure until repairs can happen.

Services We Provide in Wouldham ME1

We cover all standard boarding up services tailored to properties in Wouldham and the surrounding ME1 area:

  • Window boarding: For broken panes or frames, we fit 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut precisely to your opening. Anti-tamper screws ensure it holds against further attempts, ideal for the exposed sash windows common in older Wouldham homes.

  • Door boarding: Damaged front or rear doors get secured with heavy-duty OSB or temporary steel doors for longer-term needs. We handle swollen timber doors from damp Medway air without unnecessary damage.

  • Shopfront boarding: Though Wouldham has few retail units, we secure any commercial glazing or outbuildings quickly, using larger panels fixed to withstand overnight exposure.

  • Roof boarding: For storm-lifted tiles or skylights on barns and bungalows, we access safely and seal openings to prevent water ingress—crucial in this low-lying spot prone to river mist.

Every job uses materials suited to the site, with full documentation for your insurance claim.

Emergency Situations We Handle in Wouldham

Village life in Wouldham doesn’t stop emergencies. We respond to common incidents linking to our situations pages:

  • Burglary: After a forced entry at a home near All Saints Church, we board up fast and provide time-stamped photos showing before-and-after.

  • Storm damage: High winds along the Medway often rip slates from roofs—we prioritise these to limit internal water damage.

  • Vandalism: Youths targeting cars or outbuildings on rural lanes; we clean fixings of debris and secure cleanly.

  • Fire damage: Post-fire securing around Wouldham, coordinating with Kent Fire and Rescue if needed (remediation is out of scope).

  • Flood damage: Swollen doors from Medway overflows; we ventilate while boarding to reduce mould risk.

Keep your police crime reference if applicable, and snap safe photos before we arrive—our invoice details everything insurers need.

Property Types We Secure in Wouldham ME1

From riverside cottages to farmland steadings, we adapt to property types in the area:

  • Residential: Securing family homes and bungalows along Wouldham Road or near the village hall—quick, discreet work to let you rest easy.

  • Commercial: Rare in Wouldham but including workshops or farm offices; we provide RAMS if required for compliance.

  • Vacant properties: Empty rentals or inherited homes between tenancies get steel security screens for weeks or months of protection.

Take this real scenario: A homeowner on The Street returned from Rochester to find their back door kicked in after a burglary. We arrived within the hour, fitted a temporary steel door using non-destructive fixings where possible, and left a full work statement. They could contact their insurer straight away, property secure against the damp night air.
