Boarding Up Arkley NW7
If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage, or vandalism in Arkley NW7, boarding up Arkley NW7 starts with a quick call to us at 020 4634 7794. We’re local specialists covering the NW7 postcode and surrounding North West London areas, available 24/7 for emergency boarding up.

Arkley sits on the northern edge of North West London, blending suburban homes with pockets of green space like Scratchwood Open Space and the historic Arkley Village area. We know the mix of 1930s semi-detached houses, bungalows with large gardens, and occasional period properties along Arkley Lane. Our team handles the unique access challenges here—narrow drives, steep lanes near Barnet Gate, and properties backing onto woods—ensuring secure boarding without unnecessary disruption.
Services We Provide in Arkley NW7
We offer a full range of boarding up services North West London covers, tailored to Arkley’s residential and light commercial properties. Here’s what we do:
- Window boarding: Using 18mm exterior-grade plywood for larger openings or 12mm OSB for smaller ones, fixed with anti-tamper screws. Ideal for the bay windows common in Arkley’s older homes.
- Door boarding up: Securing forced entries with heavy-duty plywood or installing temporary steel doors for added strength, especially useful for front doors on exposed lanes like Rowley Lane.
- Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for the few retail units near Barnet Lane, designed to withstand repeated impacts and weather.
- Roof boarding: Weatherproofing damaged skylights or sections, often needed after storms affecting properties near Scratchwood.
For longer-term needs on vacant homes, we fit steel security screens that allow ventilation while deterring squatters.
Emergency Situations We Handle in Arkley
Arkley’s semi-rural position means burglars target isolated homes, while winds from nearby open spaces bring storm risks. We respond to:
- Burglary repairs: Securing jimmied doors or smashed panes right after police leave—keep your crime reference number handy.
- Vandalism repair: Boarding up graffiti-tagged windows or kicked-in panels, common around quieter spots like Arkley Village.
- Storm damage: Tarping and boarding fallen branches through roofs, protecting against North West London’s unpredictable weather.
- Fire damage: Perimeter securing post-fire service attendance—we don’t handle smoke cleanup.
- Flood damage: Boarding swollen frames while advising on ventilation to dry out.
Take photos if safe before we arrive; we’ll provide time-stamped before-and-after shots for your insurance claims.

Why Choose Us for Boarding Up in Arkley
We’re not faceless contractors—we’re Arkley locals with years securing properties across Barnet. Our DBS-checked technicians carry public liability insurance, using trade-standard materials like galvanised fixings that hold in wet NW7 weather.
Take last month’s call: A homeowner on Rowley Lane returned from holiday to find rear patio doors forced. We arrived post-police, boarded with a temporary steel door (anti-tamper from outside), provided an itemised invoice and photos, and noted frame damage for glaziers. No fuss, just secure.
We explain options upfront—if a frame’s too warped for non-destructive boarding, we’ll flag it. We’re not glaziers or adjusters, but our documentation supports most claims smoothly.
