Real Local Knowledge: A Typical Acton Green Job

It’s 10pm, raining, and they’re worried about the kids’ safety overnight. We arrive within the hour (traffic depending), clear the glass shards carefully (noting the uneven ground typical here), measure the awkward sash frame, and fit 18mm plywood with coach bolts and anti-lift bars. By midnight, it’s secure, photos emailed, invoice ready for their home insurance claim. No mess left, property safe till glaziers come.
We know Acton Green’s subtle challenges: narrow access on residential lanes, period frames that need non-destructive fixes, and the need to blend secures with the area’s elegant streetscape.
