Services We Provide in Camden Town NW1

We handle all types of boarding up tailored to Camden Town’s properties, from market traders’ units to period homes. Here’s what we offer:

Window Boarding

Broken or vulnerable windows are common here, especially after rowdy nights out. We secure them with 18mm plywood or 12mm OSB, fixed with anti-tamper screws to prevent easy removal. This protects against further intrusion or weather while insurers assess. See full details on window boarding in North West London.

Door Boarding Up

Forced doors on residential flats or pub back entrances need immediate securing. We board over damaged frames or fit temporary steel doors for better medium-term protection—ideal if the property will sit empty. Anti-tamper fixings ensure security from the outside. Learn more about door boarding.

Shopfront Boarding

Camden High Street’s retail units and market shops face high risks from vandalism or accidents. We use larger, reinforced panels to cover extensive glazing, often working out of hours to minimise disruption. Our approach keeps the site weatherproof and secure for trading resumption. Check shopfront boarding for specifics.

Roof and Skylight Boarding

Overhead damage from storms or falls affects the area’s older roofs, like those on warehouses near Camden Lock. We access safely, using weatherproof sheets fixed securely, and explain if structural input is needed. Details on roof boarding.

For longer-term needs, we also install temporary steel doors or steel security screens on void properties.

Emergency Situations We Handle in Camden Town

Camden Town NW1 sees its share of urgent calls—burglaries after gigs, storm debris on Kentish Town Road roofs, or vandalism amid the market buzz. We secure the site fast so you can focus on next steps.

Burglary or Break-In: Post-incident, we board entry points and provide time-stamped photos and a work statement for your police reference and insurer. Read about burglary repairs.
Vandalism: Smashed windows or graffiti-damaged doors—common near nightlife spots. We clean fixings minimally and secure fully. More on vandalism repair.
