We’re Boarding Up West London, covering W1T and the surrounding spots like W1W around Great Portland Street.

Fitzrovia mixes vibrant commercial hubs with residential pockets, from office blocks and galleries along Goodge Street to elegant townhouses further north. We understand the challenges here: narrow streets that make access tricky, high footfall that demands discreet work, and properties where downtime costs money. Call 020 4634 8072 anytime—we prioritise urgent jobs in W1T and aim to get to you as quickly as conditions allow.

Services We Provide in Fitzrovia

We handle all types of boarding up tailored to Fitzrovia’s urban mix. Our technicians use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and doors, or heavier-duty options for larger openings, with anti-tamper fixings to deter further issues.

Window boarding: For smashed panes in flats above Charlotte Street eateries or offices. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and secure without damaging frames where possible.
Door boarding: Ideal after forced entries—temporary plywood covers or temporary steel doors for added strength on vacant units.
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail on Tottenham Court Road, using OSB or ply reinforced for high-traffic spots.
Roof boarding: Securing skylights or damaged roofs on low-rise commercial builds, with weatherproofing to protect interiors.

For planned work like securing void properties, ask about steel security screens that allow ventilation while keeping squatters out.

Common Emergency Situations in Fitzrovia W1T

Fitzrovia’s lively streets see everything from opportunistic vandalism to weather-related mishaps. We secure the site so you can focus on next steps.

Burglary repairs: A studio on Cleveland Street hit overnight? We board up fast, provide time-stamped photos, and an itemised statement for your police reference and insurer.
Vandalism repair: Graffiti or smashed glass on Goodge Street shops—we clean fixings as we go and explain anti-recurrence measures.
Storm damage: High winds rattling roof sections near Warren Street station; we tarp and board to prevent water ingress.
Fire damage: Post-fire securing after an incident in a Marylebone border building—we coordinate with fire services but don’t handle remediation.
Flood damage: Basement flats swollen from heavy rain; we ventilate while boarding to avoid mould risks.

Take photos if safe, note your police crime number, and call 020 4634 8072 straight away. We’re not loss adjusters, but our documentation meets most insurers’ needs.

A real Fitzrovia scenario: Last winter, a ground-floor gallery on Charlotte Street had its shopfront smashed in a vandalism spree targeting the area’s art scene.

Why Choose Boarding Up West London for Fitzrovia

We live and work in West London, so Fitzrovia’s one-way systems and parking restrictions don’t faze us.

No fixed arrival promises—traffic around Tottenham Court Road can vary—but urgent W1T calls go top of the list.

We’re honest about limits: if a frame’s too damaged, we’ll flag it upfront and suggest glaziers. You get clear invoices, before-and-after shots via email, and advice on insurance claims. For landlords or facilities managers, we provide work statements that slot straight into your reports.
