Services We Provide in South Ealing W5
We handle the full range of boarding up tailored to W5 properties. Here’s what we cover:
- Window boarding: For cracked panes or forced entries in those classic bay windows common around South Ealing tube. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and secure with screws that can’t be removed from outside.
- Door boarding: Damaged front or back doors on terraced houses? We board them solid or fit temporary steel doors for better medium-term protection.
- Shopfront boarding: Quick secures for the few retail units on Northfields Avenue—larger OSB panels to weatherproof overnight.
- Roof boarding: Skylights or storm-lifted tiles above bungalows near Lammas Park; we use scaffolding where needed and tarp underneath for waterproofing.
All work uses materials built to last: no flimsy chipboard, just plywood rated for UK weather. We provide time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised invoice for your insurance claim.
Common Emergency Situations in South Ealing

- Burglary: Secure the forced window or door fast—vital in this close-knit area where word spreads.
- Vandalism: Smashed glass on parked cars or homes; read more on vandalism repair.
- Storm damage: Debris through roofs after Thames Valley winds; check storm damage guidance.
- Fire damage: Post-blaze securing while fire crews clear; we don’t do remediation, just boarding (fire damage).

Keep your police crime reference if applicable, snap safe photos beforehand, and note damage for insurers. We’re not adjusters, but our reports match what they need.
Property Types We Secure in W5
South Ealing’s housing stock—mostly inter-war semis and Edwardian terraces with some modern flats—shapes how we work:
- Residential: Family homes on quiet streets like Fielding Road. Non-destructive fixings where possible to avoid frame damage.
- Commercial: Small shops and offices near the station; we work out-of-hours to minimise disruption (commercial properties).
- Vacant properties: Voids between lets get steel screens for longer security (vacant property).
A real scenario here: Last winter, a semi-detached on Mattock Lane had its rear door kicked in during a burglary. We arrived within the hour, fitted a temporary steel door with anti-snap locks, and left the owner with full documentation. Insurers approved it next day—no issues.
