We respond 24/7 to urgent calls, prioritising NW8 properties from the elegant mansion blocks on Hamilton Terrace to the shops lining St John’s Wood High Street.

St John’s Wood blends quiet residential streets with pockets of commercial activity near Lord’s Cricket Ground and the Jubilee line station.

Services We Provide in St John’s Wood NW8
We handle all standard boarding up services tailored to NW8’s mix of period homes and retail units. Here’s what we offer:
Window Boarding
For cracked or broken windows common in St John’s Wood’s older properties, we measure and cut plywood to fit precisely, securing it over frames without further damage where possible. Anti-tamper screws prevent easy removal from outside—vital for unattended homes near Abbey Road.
Door Boarding Up
Damaged front or rear doors get immediate plywood coverage or, for longer-term needs, temporary steel doors. We’ve secured many entrances on leafy streets like Acacia Road after forced entries.
Shopfront Boarding
Businesses on St John’s Wood High Street face glazing risks from accidents or opportunists. We use reinforced panels for larger commercial openings, ensuring trading can resume safely.
Roof and Skylight Boarding
Overhead damage from storms affects the area’s pitched roofs and dormers. Our access equipment allows safe, weatherproof boarding to protect interiors until repairs.

Why Choose Us for Boarding Up in St John’s Wood
We know St John’s Wood inside out—the quick route past Abbey Road Studios to beat rush hour at the station, the challenges of securing tall sash windows in conservation areas, or accessing rear gardens off narrow mews. Our DBS-checked technicians carry public liability insurance and use trade-standard materials like galvanised fixings for durability.
A real example: Late one evening, a retail unit on St John’s Wood High Street had its shopfront smashed by joyriders. We arrived within the hour, cleared debris safely, fitted heavy-duty plywood panels, and emailed photos plus an invoice by morning. The owner reopened the next day while awaiting glaziers.
We’re not glaziers or loss adjusters—we secure first, explain options transparently (e.g., if a frame needs replacement), and support your claim. No pushy upsells, just practical help for NW8 residents and businesses.
