Services We Provide in Kilburn NW6
We handle all standard boarding up services North West London style needs across Kilburn, tailored to the area’s property mix. Our technicians use tried-and-tested methods suited to the local architecture—think securing bay windows in Edwardian semis or large shopfronts on the high street.
Window Boarding
Broken glass from a stone thrown at a flat window overlooking Kilburn High Road? We measure up on-site and fit 18mm exterior-grade plywood or 12mm OSB for smaller panes, fixed with coach bolts and anti-tamper screws. This prevents further damage from rain or casual intruders. It’s a quick, non-destructive fix where possible—see more on our window boarding process.
Door Boarding Up
After a forced entry at a residential door off Shoot Up Hill, we board over with heavy-duty plywood panels or install a temporary steel door if you need something more robust for a few weeks. We assess the frame first: if it’s salvageable, we avoid further damage. Anti-tamper fixings ensure it holds against repeat attempts.
Shopfront Boarding
Kilburn High Road’s retail units take a lot of hits—smashed overnight from opportunists. For these larger openings, we use reinforced 18mm plywood panels overlapped at edges, secured to the masonry. If it’s a recurring issue, we can advise on steel security screens as an upgrade. Full details on shopfront boarding.
Roof and Skylight Boarding
Storm winds lifting tiles on a pitched roof near Kilburn Park? We use scaffolding where safe or cherry pickers for access, fitting weatherproof plywood sheets over gaps. Ventilation is key to avoid trapped moisture, especially in older properties. Check our roof boarding page for the steps involved.

Why Choose Us for Boarding Up in Kilburn NW6
We get Kilburn: the late-night buzz on the high road means quick access via the A5 or Jubilee Line, but parking’s tight—we plan for that. Our DBS-checked technicians carry public liability insurance, and we use pro-grade materials like marine plywood for longevity.
No fixed arrival promises—traffic on the A406 or tube delays happen—but we triage urgent NW6 jobs first. Transparent: we’ll talk options on-site, like plywood vs steel if the frame’s twisted. Customers get digital photos, invoices, and a work summary emailed same day.
A Kilburn Example: Last winter, a shop on Kilburn High Road had its front window smashed in a vandalism spree. Owner called at 11pm; we arrived by midnight, measured the 3m-wide opening, fitted 18mm plywood with overlap seals against the rain forecast, and bolted it tamper-proof to the brickwork. By morning, it was secure, photos sent to their insurer, and they opened as usual behind the board. No fuss, just the job done right for this neighbourhood.
