Services We Provide in Harlesden NW10

We offer a full range of boarding up services tailored to Harlesden’s urban mix of homes, shops and light industrial sites. Each job uses durable materials like 18mm exterior-grade plywood for weather resistance and anti-tamper fixings to deter further interference.

Window boarding: Ideal for cracked or broken panes in residential properties around Craven Park or commercial spaces on the High Street. We measure on-site, cut to fit precisely and secure without further damage to frames where possible.
Door boarding up: For forced entries, we install heavy-duty plywood covers or temporary steel doors suited to unattended properties, common after burglaries in NW10.
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail units along Harlesden’s vibrant High Street, using reinforced OSB or plywood to protect high-value glazing until glaziers arrive.
Roof boarding: Securing skylights or damaged sections after storm debris falls, especially relevant near the industrial edges towards Park Royal.

These services prevent further damage from weather or intruders, buying you time to arrange permanent repairs.

Burglary repairs: Post-break-in, we board up entry points quickly—vital in a neighbourhood like Harlesden where opportunistic crime can follow.
Vandalism repair: Smashed glass from youth gatherings near Roundwood Park or targeted shopfronts on the High Road.
