Services We Provide in South Acton W3
We offer a full range of boarding up services West London tailored to South Acton’s mix of homes, flats, and businesses. Our DBS-checked technicians use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for most jobs, with anti-tamper fixings to deter further issues.
- Window Boarding: For cracked panes in high-rise flats or ground-floor sash windows. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and secure without damaging frames where possible—ideal after overnight break-ins near Acton Town station.
- Door Boarding Up: Temporary plywood covers or temporary steel doors for kicked-in entries. Common in South Acton’s rental properties; we explain options if the frame needs propping.
- Shopfront Boarding: Larger OSB or plywood panels for retail units along Uxbridge Road. We handle glazing replacements’ security phase, coordinating around trading hours.
- Roof Boarding: Securing skylights or storm-lifted sections on low-rise commercial builds. Weatherproofing is key here, with tarps over boards to protect against London rain.
These keep your property safe until glaziers or builders arrive. We provide time-stamped photos, itemised invoices, and a work statement for insurance claims.
