Boarding Up Hammersmith W6

If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage, or smashed window in Hammersmith W6, call 020 4634 8072 right now for emergency boarding up. We’re local specialists covering the whole of W6—from the bustling shops along King Street to the residential streets around Brook Green and the Thames riverside near Hammersmith Bridge. Available 24/7, we prioritise urgent calls in this busy part of West London, getting to you as quickly as conditions allow without false promises on exact times.

Hammersmith’s mix of vibrant commercial spots at Hammersmith Broadway, period Victorian homes, and modern apartments makes it prone to a range of security needs. Whether it’s a retail unit hit by vandals near the Eventim Apollo or a family home on the Fulham Palace Road side after a burglary, we secure properties fast and properly. Our team knows the area’s one-way systems, tube disruptions at Hammersmith Underground Station (District, Piccadilly, and Hammersmith & City lines), and the challenges of accessing upper floors in older conversions.

Services We Provide in Hammersmith W6

We handle all standard boarding up jobs across W6, using materials suited to the area’s varied architecture—from 18mm exterior-grade plywood for robust window fixes to temporary steel doors for longer-term door security.

Window boarding: Ideal for cracked panes in the bay windows common on streets like Upper Mall or after vandalism at ground-floor flats. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and secure with anti-tamper fixings to deter further intrusion.
Door boarding: For kicked-in front doors on terraced houses or side entrances to shops. If the frame’s intact, we brace it non-destructively; otherwise, a temporary steel door provides secure access.
Shopfront boarding: Essential for the commercial heart around King Street and Hammersmith Broadway. Larger OSB or plywood panels overlap glazing frames, fixed securely for out-of-hours protection.
Roof boarding: Less common but vital after storm damage to low-pitched roofs on older properties near the river. We weatherproof skylights or holes, advising on scaffolding if access is tricky.

Common Emergency Situations in Hammersmith

Hammersmith sees its share of incidents, from burglaries targeting unattended offices to storm-blown slates near the Thames. Here’s how we respond:

Burglary: Secure the entry point immediately—most common after dark in quieter spots like the back alleys off Shepherd’s Bush Road. We provide time-stamped photos for your police reference and insurer. See burglary repairs.
Vandalism: Quick fixes for smashed glass on shopfronts or graffiti-tagged doors, especially around nightlife areas near the Apollo.
Storm damage: Wind-ravaged windows or roofs after Thames-side gales. Priority weatherproofing to prevent water ingress.
Fire damage: Boarding post-blaze (we don’t do remediation), coordinating if fire crews are still on scene. Check fire damage.
Flood damage: Swollen timber frames from heavy rain backing up the river—ventilated boarding to aid drying.

A real Hammersmith scenario: Last winter, a shop owner on King Street called after vandals smashed their overnight delivery hatch during a busy pre-Christmas rush. Traffic was snarled from tube works at Hammersmith station, but we navigated side roads, fitted a reinforced plywood panel with anti-tamper screws by midnight, and emailed photos plus an itemised invoice by morning. The owner reopened next day, claim sorted smoothly.
