Why Boarding Up Matters in Kelvedon Hatch CM15

Kelvedon Hatch sits in a semi-rural pocket of CM15, blending quiet villages with easy access to Brentwood and the M25 via the A1023. This mix leaves properties exposed: isolated homes on winding lanes around the old Secret Nuclear Bunker are prime targets for burglars who know response times stretch in these parts. Older semi-detached houses and bungalows with single-glazed windows common here shatter easily from vandalism or accidental impacts, while farms and outbuildings face storm risks from exposed Essex winds.

Local factors amplify the need for fast boarding up. Narrow roads like those off Kelvedon Road slow emergency access, and the area’s night-time quiet—far from Chelmsford city centre lights—invites trouble after dark. We’ve seen spikes in break-ins targeting garages near Pilgrims Hatch, where tools and bikes vanish through smashed side windows. Commercial spots along the A414, like small workshops, suffer ram-raids on roller shutters, leaving shopfronts vulnerable to rain and theft.

Storms hit hard too: high winds off the nearby fields rip slates from roofs, demanding urgent roof boarding to prevent water ingress into lofts. Vandalism around the bunker’s visitor trails affects holiday lets, and flood-prone dips after heavy rain swell timber frames on riverside properties. Without prompt boarding up, further damage mounts—mould in walls, scavenged copper wiring, or squatters in voids. In CM15, where police cover from Brentwood, securing the site yourself buys time while you wait.

A Typical Call-Out in Kelvedon Hatch

A typical call-out might involve a homeowner on a secluded lane near the Secret Nuclear Bunker phoning at 11pm after hearing glass smash. Burglars had forced a rear patio door, rifling drawers before fleeing empty-handed. On arrival, we’d assess the mangled frame—too damaged for simple boarding—and opt for a temporary steel door infill, fixed with coach bolts and anti-lift bars from the inside.

Measurements taken on-site ensure a snug 18mm plywood overlay for any glazed panels, sealed with galvanised battens and silicone for weatherproofing. If the property’s unattended overnight, we’d add padlocks and tamper-evident screws. The job wraps in under two hours, leaving time-stamped before/after photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for insurers. Homeowner gets keys handed over, plus advice on police crime reference numbers. No surprises: if access needs ladders for upper windows, we explain upfront.

What To Do In An Emergency in Kelvedon Hatch

A break-in or storm hit? Stay safe first—don’t enter if intruders might linger. Dial 999 if ongoing, or 101 for non-emergency reports to Essex Police (Brentwood response covers CM15). Note your crime reference number; it’s gold for insurance.

Snap photos of the damage if safe, from outside—focus on entry points like the smashed kitchen window or kicked-in front door. Clear valuables if possible, but prioritise locking gates or sheds. For weather threats, tarp large openings temporarily, but call pros for proper boarding up to avoid voiding claims.

Ring us at 01245 945 217 next—we’ll talk you through options over the phone, factoring in your spot (e.g., tight access off Hatch Road). Keep keys handy for the gate; mention pets or alarms. We’ll guide on insurer contact—most cover emergency boarding up as an interim cost. Stay warm; boarded voids insulate against CM15 chills.
