Services We Provide in Willesden NW2
We offer a full range of boarding up services North West London tailored to Willesden’s property mix. Here’s what we do:
Window Boarding
Smashed windows are common after vandalism or accidents here—think panes broken near Dudden Hill Lane. We measure on-site, cut 18mm plywood to fit precisely, and secure with screws that can’t be removed from outside. For smaller openings like in the local semis, 12mm OSB works well too. Learn more about window boarding.
Door Boarding Up
Forced doors after a burglary? We board them securely or fit temporary steel doors for better medium-term protection, ideal for vacant flats above shops on Willesden High Road. Our fixings go into solid timber or masonry, avoiding weak frames.
Shopfront Boarding
Retailers along the high street or near Willesden Green know the risks—overnight smash-and-grabs. We use reinforced panels for large glazed fronts, ensuring trading can resume safely. Shopfront boarding details.
Roof Boarding
Storm winds can lift tiles on the older roofs around Roundwood Park. We access safely (ladders or cherry pickers if needed), board skylights or gaps with weatherproof sheets, and advise on tarps for heavy rain. Roof boarding specifics.
All work includes time-stamped photos before/after, an itemised invoice, and a statement for insurers. We’re not glaziers, so this is temporary security—lasting weeks to months depending on exposure.
