When damage strikes, our team secures properties fast, using the right materials for West London’s weather and your insurer’s requirements.

Services We Provide in Acton W3

We handle all types of boarding up across Acton, tailored to the area’s diverse properties. Here’s what we offer:

Window boarding: For cracked panes or full breakages common in Acton’s older homes. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to exact sizes, fixed with anti-tamper screws to prevent easy removal.
Door boarding up: Securing kicked-in doors, often with temporary steel doors for better medium-term protection. Ideal after burglaries in quiet spots like West Acton.
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail units along Acton High Street, using reinforced OSB or ply to weatherproof overnight.
Roof boarding: For storm-lifted tiles or skylights, especially on the lower-rise semis near Gunnersbury Lane. We tarp first for immediate waterproofing.

Each job includes time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised invoice for your insurance claim.

A Real Acton Scenario

Picture this: a shop owner on Acton High Street returns after closing to find the glass front smashed—likely vandalism during a busy Friday night. Police log it, but the owner needs it secure before morning trade. We arrive within the hour (traffic depending), measure the large opening, fit 18mm ply with heavy-duty fixings visible only from inside, and tarp overlaps for rain. By dawn, it’s protected, photos emailed, invoice ready for insurance. The shop reopens with minimal downtime.
