Services We Provide in Hanwell W7
We handle all types of boarding up in Hanwell W7, using materials suited to local properties. Our technicians know the challenges here, like securing tall sash windows in period homes or large shopfronts exposed to Uxbridge Road traffic.
- Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes in residential homes or flats. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to fit, fixed with anti-tamper screws. Ideal after overnight break-ins near Hanwell station.
- Door boarding up: Securing forced entries with heavy-duty OSB or temporary steel doors. Common in Hanwell’s semis where rear doors face alleyways off Cherington Road.
- Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail units on Green Lane or the Uxbridge Road Golden Mile. We reinforce against further tampering, using 12mm laminated boards for visibility.
- Roof boarding: For storm-damaged skylights or holes above garages. Weatherproof sheeting first, then secure boarding—crucial after gales around Boston Manor Park.
These services keep your property safe until glaziers or repairs arrive. We explain options on-site, like non-destructive fixings where frames are intact.

Other common calls in W7:
- Vandalism repair: Smashed glass in bus shelters or shop windows, often graffiti-tagged— we clean fixings and secure overnight.
- Storm damage: Fallen branches through roofs near Elthorne Park, or windows blown in on exposed estates.
- Fire damage: Post-blaze securing after calls to Brentford fire station—we coordinate if needed but focus on boarding voids.

No matter the cause, we arrive with tools for the job. Take photos if safe, note your police CRN if applicable, and call 020 4634 8072 for immediate help.
Property Types We Secure in Hanwell W7
Hanwell’s housing stock is diverse: Victorian terraces near the station, 1930s semis on Boston Road, modern flats above shops, and void properties during tenancies. We tailor our approach:
- Residential properties: Bay windows and French doors in family homes around Green Lane. We minimise disruption for landlords or homeowners.
- Commercial sites: Takeaways, estate agents, and pubs on Uxbridge Road. Out-of-hours work to avoid trading losses.
- Vacant properties: Empty flats or houses between lets—temporary steel doors or security screens for longer-term protection.
A real example: Last month, a landlord in Hanwell had a void semi on St Mark’s Road targeted after a break-in. We fitted a temporary steel door within hours, using anti-lift fixings suited to the area’s frequent patrols. The tenant moved in safely days later, with full photos and invoice for the insurer.

Why Choose Us for Boarding Up in Hanwell W7
We’re not fly-by-nights; our team knows Hanwell’s layout, from navigating narrow lanes off Cuckoo Lane to accessing high-level shopfronts near the station. Public liability insured, DBS-checked, and experienced with W postcode challenges like period frames that splinter easily.
We use the right materials: no flimsy chipboard—only marine plywood or OSB with galvanised fixings that hold against canal winds.
