Services We Provide in Northwick Park HA1
We handle all standard boarding up needs across HA1, tailored to the mix of Edwardian houses, modern flats, and institutional buildings here. Here’s what we offer:
Window Boarding
Cracked panes from vandalism or accidental impacts are common in residential Northwick Park. We measure on-site, cut plywood or 12mm OSB to fit precisely, and secure with coach bolts into the frame—non-destructive where possible. This keeps out rain and intruders until glaziers arrive. Learn more about window boarding.
Door Boarding Up
After a forced entry, we board doors with heavy-duty plywood or fit temporary steel doors for better medium-term security, especially useful for vacant flats near the station. Frames around here often swell from damp, so we assess stability first. See door boarding details.
Shopfront Boarding
Though Northwick Park is mostly residential, small commercial units and hospital-adjacent cafes need robust shopfront boarding with larger panels and overlap seals for overnight security. We use galvanised fixings to withstand attempts at tampering. Full shopfront boarding info.
Roof and Skylight Boarding
Storm debris through a skylight on a pitched roof off Roxeth Green? We use scaffolding-free methods where safe, like extending ladders for access, and tarp underlay for weatherproofing before plywood capping. Roof work demands care near busy roads like the A410. Roof boarding explained.
For any service, expect time-stamped before/after photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer.
