Services We Provide in Edgware HA8

We handle all standard boarding up needs in Edgware, tailored to local properties. Our technicians are DBS-checked and carry public liability insurance, ensuring safe, professional work even on awkward accesses like those steep drives in older semis.

Window Boarding

Broken windows are common here after vandalism or accidents—think a football through a pane near Edgwarebury Park. We measure on-site, cut 18mm plywood to fit precisely, and secure with coach screws into the frame. For smaller openings like bathroom vents, we use 12mm OSB.

Door Boarding

Forced doors after burglaries leave gaps; we board them solid or fit temporary steel doors for better medium-term security, ideal for vacant flats above shops on Burnt Oak Broadway. We avoid damaging undamaged frames where possible. [See our door boarding process](/services/door-boarding/).

Shopfront Boarding

Edgware’s retail strips, from The Broadwalk to independent units on High Street, see shopfront hits from impacts or theft. We use larger reinforced panels fixed to withstand prying, often coordinating out-of-hours to minimise disruption. [Details on shopfront boarding](/services/shopfront-boarding/).

Roof Boarding

Storm winds lift tiles on the area’s older roofs, or skylights crack from debris. Accessing pitches around Canons Park requires ladders and scaffolding awareness; we weatherproof openings to prevent leaks into lofts. [Full info on roof boarding](/services/roof-boarding/).
