Services We Provide in Ealing Common W5

We offer a full range of boarding up services tailored to Ealing Common’s mix of homes and businesses. Each uses durable materials like 18mm exterior-grade plywood for weather resistance and anti-tamper fixings to deter further interference.

Window boarding: Ideal for cracked panes or forced entries in those characteristic bay windows common on W5 terraces. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and secure with coach bolts—ensuring ventilation where needed to prevent mould in damp conditions.
Door boarding up: For splintered front or rear doors, we fit heavy-duty plywood or opt for temporary steel doors on larger openings. These hold up well unattended, perfect for landlords in the area.
Shopfront boarding: Northfield Avenue traders and Uxbridge Road retailers trust us for overnight security on glazed fronts. We use reinforced OSB panels for larger spans, fixed to withstand casual tampering.
Roof boarding: Less common but vital after storms lifting tiles over the common. We access safely, board skylights or gaps, and add tarpaulin for immediate waterproofing.

For medium-term needs on vacant properties, ask about steel security screens—they allow airflow while keeping squatters out.

A real Ealing Common scenario: Last winter, a storm sent a tree limb through a sash window on a quiet street off Northfield Avenue. The homeowner, away for the weekend, called at dusk. We arrived equipped, cleared debris safely, fitted 18mm plywood with anti-tamper screws, and taped seams against rain. By morning, the property was secure; they had photos and an invoice ready for their insurer. No further damage, no stress.
