Services We Offer in Notting Hill W2

We handle all types of boarding up services West London style, tailored to Notting Hill’s architecture and pace of life. Here’s what we provide:

Window Boarding

Broken sash or casement windows are common here, especially on the exposed terraces facing Holland Park Avenue. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to exact measurements, fixed with anti-tamper screws from the inside. This keeps weather out and opportunists away until glaziers arrive. For more on window boarding, see our dedicated page.

Door Boarding Up

Forced entries leave awkward gaps on heavy panel doors typical of Notting Hill’s Georgian homes. We board over with OSB sheeting or fit temporary steel doors for better medium-term security—ideal if you’re away post-burglary. Anti-lift bars prevent the whole panel shifting.

Shopfront Boarding

Portobello Market traders and Westbourne Grove independents can’t afford downtime. Large-format plywood panels, reinforced at stress points, secure full shopfronts overnight. We work around market hours, providing time-stamped photos for your insurance claim.

Roof and Skylight Boarding

High winds off the nearby commons can lift slates on pitched roofs. We access safely (ladders or cherry pickers for steeper pitches), boarding openings with waterproof membranes underneath. Not full repairs—we focus on immediate protection. Details on roof boarding.

All jobs use materials suited to W2’s damp climate: treated plywood that won’t warp, fixings that grip into brick or timber frames.

Common Situations We Handle in Notting Hill

Notting Hill sees its share of incidents, from carnival-related scuffles to winter gales. We secure after:

Burglary or Break-Ins: Jimmied locks on mews houses— we board and document for police and insurers. See burglary repairs.
Vandalism: Smashed ground-floor windows on party nights along All Saints Road. Quick boards deter repeat hits.
Storm Damage: Debris through dormers near Notting Hill Gate—weatherproofing first.
Fire Damage: Post-blaze securing (we don’t do smoke cleanup). Coordinate with fire crews.
Flood Damage: Thames-side proximity means swollen frames; we ventilate while boarding.

Why Local Knowledge Matters for Boarding Up Notting Hill W2

Notting Hill isn’t generic suburbia—it’s narrow roads clogged by market vans, tube-adjacent crowds at Notting Hill Gate, and properties where one wrong drill hole could hit period plaster. Our team knows:

How to navigate parking-restricted zones without delays.
The prevalence of sash windows needing specialist measuring.
Carnival aftermath spikes in vandalism along the Carnival route.

We’re fully insured, DBS-checked, with public liability cover. No cowboy fixes—we explain if a frame’s too damaged for reversible boarding and offer steel door alternatives upfront. Customers get a work statement, photos (time/date stamped), and invoice breaking down materials/labour.

We don’t promise “30 minutes flat”—traffic off the Westway varies—but urgent W2 calls top our list. Not loss adjusters, but our docs match insurer needs (keep your crime reference number handy).

A Real Notting Hill Scenario

Picture a Portobello Road jeweller: late shift, opportunist smashes the security glass. Owner calls at 11pm. We arrive within the hour, assess the frame (intact but ajar), fit 18mm ply with coach bolts into the brick reveals, add anti-tamper strips. Shop’s secure by midnight, photos emailed, invoice ready for morning claim. Trader reopens next market day, minimal disruption.
