Marylebone blends upscale residential living with lively retail and offices.

No fixed arrival promises, as traffic around the station or Regents Park events can vary, but we’re local, equipped, and focused on getting you protected.
Services We Provide in Marylebone NW1
We handle all standard boarding up services North West London has to offer, tailored to Marylebone’s property mix. From securing a vulnerable sash window in a Grade II-listed townhouse to fitting a temporary steel door at a vacant office on Chiltern Street, here’s what we do:
Window Boarding
Broken or cracked windows are common here, especially in older homes around York Street or flats overlooking the High Street. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to exact measurements, fixed with anti-tamper screws into the frame where possible. This prevents weather ingress and opportunistic entry—vital if the place will sit empty while insurers process claims. For more on window boarding.
Door Boarding Up
Damaged front doors on Marylebone’s elegant streets need robust securing. We board over with heavy-duty OSB or install temporary steel doors for better medium-term protection, especially useful for rental properties between lets. Fixings go into brickwork or lintels to withstand pulling attempts.
Shopfront Boarding
Marylebone High Street’s independent shops and cafes face high footfall risks. Larger panels of 18mm plywood or polycarbonate secure full shopfronts, overlapped at edges and braced for stability. We consider pedestrian access and trading continuity. See shopfront boarding.
Roof and Skylight Boarding
Overhead damage from storms affects the area’s loft conversions and commercial roofs. We use weatherproof sheeting battened down securely, often needing scaffolding for safe access around pitched roofs near Baker Street. Details in roof boarding.
All jobs include time-stamped before-and-after photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer. If a frame’s too compromised, we’ll flag it upfront—no surprises.
Emergency Situations We Handle in Marylebone

A Real Marylebone Scenario: Last winter, a cafe on Marylebone High Street had its shopfront window smashed by a delivery van skidding on black ice near the station. Owner called at 6am—panicked about stock and passing trade. We arrived within the hour, assessed the large frame (too twisted for simple boarding), fitted a braced plywood panel with anti-lift bars, and left photos plus invoice. They traded behind it that day while glaziers quoted permanent repair. No fuss, property safe.
