Boarding Up in Pevensey

If you’ve had a break-in at your cottage near Pevensey Castle or storm damage hitting a property on the Levels, boarding up in Pevensey (BN24) gets you secure fast. We’re local specialists who know this corner of East Sussex inside out—from the historic village high street to the coastal edges at Pevensey Bay. When windows are smashed or doors forced, we board up properly using 18mm exterior-grade plywood or 12mm OSB, with anti-tamper fixings that hold against coastal winds.

Pevensey sits just off the A259, with its medieval walls and castle drawing visitors year-round. We cover the whole BN24 area, including Westham, Hankham, Stone Cross, and Normans Bay. Properties here range from timber-framed cottages clustered around the High Street and Walls Lane, to bungalows and semis in Westham, plus working farms and holiday homes nearer the beach. Commercial spots like pubs—the Castle Inn on the High Street—or small shops face extra exposure to passing traffic and seasonal crowds.

Why Pevensey Properties Need Tailored Boarding Up

Living or running a business near Pevensey Castle means dealing with history’s charm but also its vulnerabilities. Those thick stone walls protect the landmark, but your sash windows or uPVC doors in nearby period homes aren’t so resilient. Salt air from the bay accelerates rust on fixings, so we use galvanised screws and marine-grade plywood seals to weatherproof effectively.

Common scenarios here include:

• Vandalism after dark: Gangs targeting parked vans near Pevensey & Westham station or empty holiday lets by the Levels.
• Storm surges: High winds off the Channel ripping slates or glazing from coastal bungalows in Normans Bay.
• Burglaries in quieter spots: Opportunistic entries at farms off Dittons Road or semis in Stone Cross.

We don’t just slap up boards—we assess the frame damage first. If it’s a listed cottage near the castle, we prioritise non-destructive methods like coach bolts from inside. For shopfronts on the High Street, larger panels with overlap seals keep stock safe until glaziers arrive.

How We Handle Boarding Up Across BN24

Call us, and here’s what happens next—tailored to Pevensey’s layout:

1. Quick assessment: We pinpoint your spot via postcode or landmarks like the castle or station. Traffic on the A259 rarely delays us much.
2. On-site securing: Measure openings precisely—bay windows in village homes often need custom cuts. Fix with anti-lift strips and tamper-proof screws.
3. Weatherproofing extras: Silicone seals around edges for Pevensey’s damp Levels climate.
4. Documentation: Time-stamped photos before/after, itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer. We note specifics like “18mm plywood on 2.1m x 1.2m window, BN24 postcode.”

Edge cases? If access is tricky—like upper floors in terraced cottages off High Street—we bring extending ladders. Smoke damage post-fire? We secure but refer remediation elsewhere.

Our technicians are DBS-checked, with public liability insurance, so landlords in Hankham or shop owners in Westham can book confidently. No fixed arrival promises—Pevensey’s spread means we prioritise based on urgency—but urgent BN24 calls jump the queue.

A Real Pevensey Scenario: High Street Shopfront After Vandalism

Picture this: Late shift ends at a High Street cafe near St Mary’s Church, and vandals kick in the glass door. Owner calls us at midnight. We arrive, clear debris safely, fit a full-height OSB panel with heavy-duty fixings, and seal gaps against overnight rain. By morning, time-stamped pics and invoice in hand, they’re open for insurance claim. No stock ruined, no further break-ins. That’s standard for us in Pevensey—practical, no fuss.
