Boarding Up Dollis Hill NW2
If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage, or vandalism in Dollis Hill NW2, you need boarding up Dollis Hill that’s fast, secure, and done right. We’re local specialists covering all of NW2, from the residential streets around Dollis Hill Underground Station to the shops along Dudden Hill Lane. Available 24/7, we prioritise urgent calls across this busy North West London suburb—whether it’s a smashed window on a quiet terrace off Brook Road or a shopfront hit near Gladstone Park.
Dollis Hill mixes 1930s semis and interwar flats with pockets of Victorian houses, alongside small parades of shops and light commercial units. We know the area’s layout intimately: narrow side roads that challenge access, the rush around the station during Bakerloo line peak times, and how weather hits exposed properties near the park. When damage strikes, call 020 4634 7794—we’ll secure the site to prevent further issues like rain ingress or opportunistic theft.
Services We Provide in Dollis Hill NW2
We handle all standard boarding up services North West London style needs with materials suited to local properties. Our technicians use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for most windows and doors, or 12mm OSB where weight is a factor on upper storeys.
-
Window boarding: For cracked panes or forced entries common in Dollis Hill’s ground-floor flats. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and secure with anti-tamper screws—vital if you’re leaving the property empty overnight.
-
Door boarding: Damaged front or rear doors get plywood overlays or, for longer-term needs, temporary steel doors. These hold up against the area’s occasional wind gusts from nearby open spaces.
-
Shopfront boarding: Retail units on Dudden Hill Lane or near the station often face vandalism. We use reinforced panels spanning large glazing, fixed to withstand prying attempts.
-
Roof boarding: Rare but serious after storms—skylights or pitched roofs on semis near Gladstone Park. We weatherproof with heavy-duty sheeting, using scaffolding if access demands it.
Every job includes time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised work statement for your records or insurer.
