Services We Provide in Pitshanger W5

We handle all types of boarding up tailored to Pitshanger’s mix of residential streets and small commercial pockets. Our technicians use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for larger openings or 12mm OSB for smaller ones, secured with anti-tamper fixings that can’t be prised off from outside. Here’s what we offer:

Window boarding: Ideal for the bay windows and sash frames common in Pitshanger’s older homes. We measure on-site, cut to fit precisely, and seal against weather—essential after a rock through the glass near North Ealing station.
Door boarding: For forced entries on front or rear doors, including options like temporary steel doors for added strength. These work well for the solid timber doors on streets like Westcott Crescent.
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for the retail units along Pitshanger Lane. We use reinforced plywood or steel screens to deter further tampering, getting businesses trading again sooner.
Roof boarding: Securing skylights or damaged roof sections, often needed after storms in this exposed suburban area. We access safely and weatherproof to prevent leaks into attics.

All work comes with time-stamped photos before and after, an itemised invoice, and a statement of works for your insurer. If access is tricky—like a high sash window—we’ll use extending ladders or non-destructive fixings where possible.

Emergency Situations We Handle in Pitshanger

Emergencies don’t wait, and neither do we. Pitshanger’s peaceful vibe means incidents like burglaries or vandalism can leave properties exposed overnight. Common scenarios here include:

Burglary: Secure the entry point fast to prevent repeat visits. See our burglary repairs guide for next steps, including police reference numbers.
Vandalism: Smashed panes from bored youths near the lanes— we board up discreetly to avoid drawing attention.
Storm damage: High winds off the nearby A40 can loosen slates or crack skylights; we prioritise weatherproofing. Check storm damage advice.
Fire damage: Post-fire securing around Pitshanger Manor area—we coordinate with fire services but don’t handle smoke cleanup.
Flood damage: Swollen frames after heavy rain; ventilation is key to avoid mould in these solid-built homes. More in our flood damage page.

Keep your police crime reference if applicable, take safe photos beforehand, and contact your insurer early—we provide the documentation they need.
