Services We Provide in South Hampstead

We offer a full range of boarding up services tailored to NW3 properties, using materials like 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and anti-tamper fixings to hold against the elements.

Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes in homes or flats—common after stones thrown from passing traffic on Finchley Road. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and secure without further damage to frames.
Door boarding: Securing forced entries or damaged front doors, including options for temporary steel doors on vacant flats.
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for the few retail units and cafes along local parades, weatherproofed for overnight exposure.
Roof boarding: For storm-lifted slates or damaged skylights on period conversions—access via scaffolding if needed near tall mansion blocks.

All work includes time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised statement for your records or insurer.

Common Situations We Handle in South Hampstead

Properties in this affluent NW3 pocket face typical urban risks, from opportunistic burglaries to weather hits during wet winters. Here’s how we respond:

Burglary repairs: After a smash-and-grab, we board up quickly to prevent repeat visits—vital when houses stand empty during the day.
Vandalism repair: Graffiti or smashed glass on doors/windows; we clean fixings externally where safe.
Storm damage: High winds off the nearby open spaces like Primrose Hill can loosen slates—we tarp and board overhead openings.
Fire damage: Post-fire securing after brigade handover (remediation not included).
Flood damage: Water-swollen frames around low-level windows; we ventilate while securing.

Keep your police reference number handy and take safe photos beforehand—we provide insurer-ready docs.

Why Choose Us for Boarding Up in South Hampstead

Police left the scene unsecured; we arrived within the hour, fitted 18mm plywood with anti-tamper screws (preventing outside removal), and left photos plus a work summary.
