Services We Provide in Chislehurst BR7

We handle all types of boarding up tailored to Chislehurst’s properties, using 18mm exterior-grade plywood for most windows and doors, or 12mm OSB for smaller openings where weight matters. Our approach focuses on non-destructive fixing where possible—anti-tamper screws into existing frames prevent easy removal from outside.

Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes common in Chislehurst’s older homes. We measure on site, cut to fit precisely, and seal edges against rain—essential after recent storms hitting exposed properties near Scadbury Park.
Door boarding: Securing forced entries with heavy-duty plywood or temporary steel doors for better medium-term security. Upright doors on Victorian semis around Station Approach get braced fixings to handle wind gusts.
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail units on Royal Parade or the High Street. We use reinforced ply and overlap joints for high-visibility sites, minimising disruption during peak shopping hours.
Roof boarding: For storm-damaged skylights or missing tiles on bungalows and extensions. Access via ladders or scaffolding if needed, with tarpaulin underlay to prevent water ingress into loft spaces.

For longer-term needs on vacant properties, we install steel security screens. All work comes with time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a statement of works for your insurer.

Emergency Situations We Cover in Chislehurst

Chislehurst sees its share of incidents—from burglaries targeting garages near the Caves to vandalism on High Street shops or storm damage after heavy rain swells door frames. We secure the site fast so you can focus on next steps.

Burglary repairs: Post-break-in, we board up entry points and document everything for police and insurance. Keep your crime reference number handy.
Vandalism repair: Smashed glass from youth groups or targeted attacks—we clean loose shards safely and secure overnight.
Storm damage: High winds off the North Downs rip slates or fell branches onto roofs; we tarp and board to stop further water damage.
Fire damage: After fire service handover, we board soot-marked openings (no remediation—we just secure).
Flood damage: Water-warped frames near streams in Elmstead Woods get ventilated boarding to aid drying.

If it’s unsafe (e.g., structural concerns), we’ll advise pausing until pros assess. Take photos before we arrive if you can do so safely, and contact your insurer early.
