Rayners Lane sits in the heart of Harrow’s suburban mix, with its bustling high street lined with independent shops, takeaways, and a Sainsbury’s Local, all centred around the Piccadilly and Metropolitan line Tube station. This area’s 1930s semi-detached houses, modern flats above retail units, and occasional Victorian conversions mean we see everything from domestic window repairs to commercial shopfront secures. Whether it’s a quiet residential spot off Roxeth Lane or a busy unit on the high street, our team knows the local access challenges—like narrow drives or pedestrian-only zones near the station—and gets the job done without fuss.
Services We Provide in Rayners Lane HA2
We handle all types of boarding up tailored to Rayners Lane’s property mix. Our work uses 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and doors, or 12mm OSB where lighter fixings suffice, secured with anti-tamper screws that can’t be removed from outside. Here’s what we offer:
-
Window boarding: For cracked panes or forced entries in those typical 1930s bay windows common here. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and seal against weather—vital with Rayners Lane’s exposed position near the A404.
-
Door boarding up: Damaged front or rear doors get plywood covers or, for longer-term needs, temporary steel doors that lock securely. Perfect for unattended semis after a burglary.
-
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for the high street’s retail units. We use reinforced fixings to withstand tampering, keeping stock safe until glaziers arrive.
-
Roof and skylight boarding: Storm-lifted tiles or damaged Velux windows in loft conversions—we access safely from scaffolding if needed and weatherproof overhead openings.
All our work comes with time-stamped before-and-after photos, an itemised invoice, and a statement of works for your insurer. We’re public liability insured and DBS-checked, so no worries about who’s on your property.
