Little Venice, with its distinctive houseboats on the Grand Union Canal and elegant stucco villas along streets like Clifton Road and Blomfield Road, mixes affluent residential living with canal-side cafes and boutiques. Properties here range from period conversions to modern waterside flats, and we’re familiar with securing them all—whether it’s a vulnerable sash window overlooking Rembrandt Gardens or a shopfront on the bustling stretch near Warwick Avenue station.

Services We Provide in Little Venice W2

We offer a full range of boarding up services tailored to the property types and challenges in W2. Each uses durable materials like 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows or 12mm OSB for lighter fixes, secured with anti-tamper fixings to deter further issues.

Window boarding: Ideal for cracked or broken panes in the area’s many sash and bay windows. We measure on-site, cut to fit precisely, and seal against weather—crucial in this exposed canal location.
Door boarding: For forced entries or damaged frames, including fitting temporary steel doors for added security on unattended properties.
Shopfront boarding: Quick securing for retail units along the canal towpath or near Harrow Road, using reinforced panels to protect stock and allow business continuity.
Roof boarding: For storm-damaged skylights or holes above the higher flats— we use weatherproof methods and ladder access suited to the area’s terraced layouts.

These services keep your property safe until glaziers or repairs arrive, and we provide time-stamped photos for your records.

Property Types We Secure in Little Venice W2

Little Venice’s housing stock—Victorian villas, mansion blocks, and canal-adjacent new-builds—presents unique securing needs:

Residential properties: Flats and houses with multi-pane windows; we use non-destructive methods where possible to preserve period features.
Commercial spaces: Cafes, galleries, and offices near the basin—out-of-hours work to minimise disruption.
Vacant properties: Empty flats between lets, fitted with steel security screens for longer-term protection against squatters drawn to the area’s quiet corners.

A real local scenario: Last winter, a houseboat owner off Blomfield Road returned from Paddington Station to find a side window smashed by vandals. We arrived within the hour, fitted marine-grade plywood resistant to damp, and secured it with canal-facing fixings. The owner had photos and an itemised invoice ready for their insurer by morning—no further issues.
