Services We Provide in Crockenhill BR8
We offer full boarding up services tailored to Crockenhill’s properties, using 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and doors, or heavier-duty options for larger openings. Here’s what we cover:
- Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes common after stones from the nearby roads or local kids’ antics. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and secure with anti-tamper screws to keep weather and intruders out.
- Door boarding up: Ideal for forced entries—temporary plywood covers or temporary steel doors for longer-term security on vacant bungalows.
- Shopfront boarding: Though Crockenhill has few retail spots, we secure any commercial glazing, like small units near the A20 junction.
- Roof boarding: For storm-lifted tiles or skylights on bungalows and farm buildings, with scaffolding access if needed around the village’s sloping sites.
All work uses materials that hold up to BR8’s damp winters and windy exposures. We provide time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised invoice for your records.

- Residential properties: Family homes along Whiteoak Lane, where quick window boarding prevents opportunist entry.
- Commercial properties: Rare here, but we cover any workshops or farm offices exposed to the A20 traffic.
- Vacant properties: Empty bungalows between lets get steel security screens for weeks or months, deterring squatters in this semi-rural spot.
