Boarding Up West Kensington W14

If you’ve got a smashed window on Fulham Palace Road or a forced door in a flat near West Kensington station, call 020 4634 8072 right away. We’re your local specialists for boarding up West Kensington W14, covering the whole postcode 24/7 with no call-out charges. From the elegant Victorian terraces around Eel Brook Common to the commercial units along Talgarth Road, we secure properties fast after break-ins, storms or accidents—using 18mm plywood for windows and anti-tamper fixings that hold firm.

West Kensington sits in the heart of West London, a compact area blending quiet residential streets with easy access via West Kensington Underground station on the District line and Kensington Olympia for Overground links. Properties here range from period red-brick homes to modern mansion blocks, and we know the challenges: narrow access on one-way streets like Beaumont Avenue, or securing larger openings near the busy Olympia exhibition centre. No matter the time—late night after a match at nearby Fulham or early morning rush—we prioritise urgent jobs in W14.

Boarding Up Services We Provide in West Kensington

We offer a full range of boarding up services West London style, tailored to West Kensington’s mix of homes and businesses. Here’s what we do:

Window Boarding

Smashed panes or cracked glass on sash windows common in W14’s Edwardian houses? We measure on-site and fit 18mm exterior-grade plywood or 12mm OSB for smaller openings, secured with coach bolts and anti-tamper screws. This prevents weather ingress and opportunistic theft—vital if you’re leaving the property unattended. Learn more about window boarding.

Door Boarding Up

Whether it’s a kicked-in front door on a terrace near North End Road or a side entrance damaged in a ram raid, we board it securely or install a temporary steel door for better medium-term protection. We avoid damaging frames where possible, using non-destructive fixings.

Shopfront Boarding

For the retail spots along Fulham Palace Road or near Kensington Olympia station, we handle large glazed fronts with heavy-duty plywood panels or steel security screens. These are fixed to withstand tugging from outside, keeping stock safe overnight.

Roof Boarding

Storm damage lifting slates on a pitched roof overlooking Eel Brook Common? We use tarpaulins first for immediate weatherproofing, then board skylights or gaping holes with reinforced materials. Access via scaffolding if needed—we coordinate safely. See our roof boarding process.

All jobs come with time-stamped before-and-after photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer.

Why Choose Us for Boarding Up in West Kensington

We stand out because we know West Kensington. Not just the map, but the realities: parking restrictions around Eel Brook Common mean we arrive van-ready; narrow drives on streets like Redcliffe Gardens need careful plywood handling; and the area’s affluent homes demand tidy, traceless work.

Take a recent job: a landlord with a vacant Edwardian house on Beaumont Avenue after a break-in via the rear dormer. Thieves had jimmied the sash window—classic in these older properties. We fitted OSB internally to preserve the frame, added anti-tamper fixings, and supplied photos plus an invoice split for insurance (materials £X, labour £Y). The insurer approved it same-day; the place stayed secure until new tenants moved in.

We’re fully insured, DBS-checked, and transparent—no surprises. We explain upfront if a frame’s too damaged for boarding alone (e.g., recommending a glazier next), and we’re not loss adjusters but provide exactly what claims teams want. For insurance claims, check our guide.
