Kensal Town sits right by the Grand Union Canal, with Kensal Green station on the Bakerloo line just a short walk from many homes and businesses. It’s a mix of residential streets lined with period properties, community shops on Golborne Road, and ongoing developments around the canal. Whether it’s a smashed window on a house near the station or a shopfront hit on Chamberlayne Road, we secure properties fast to protect against further damage or weather.
Services We Provide in Kensal Town W10
We handle all types of boarding up tailored to W10’s property mix. Our technicians use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for most jobs, with 12mm OSB for smaller openings, fixed with anti-tamper screws that can’t be removed from outside. Here’s what we offer:
-
Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes in those tall sash windows common on Victorian semis around Kensal Rise. We measure on-site, cut to fit precisely, and seal edges to keep out rain—essential after a burglary or stone thrown from the canal path.
-
Door boarding: Securing forced entries, often with temporary steel doors for longer-term protection. In Kensal Town’s estates, where doors take a beating from vandals, we reinforce frames if needed without causing extra damage.
-
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for commercial units on Golborne Road or Chamberlayne Road. We use reinforced plywood or steel screens to withstand kicks or rams, minimising downtime for local cafes and independents.
-
Roof boarding: For storm-damaged skylights or holes in canal warehouse conversions. Access can be tricky near the water, so we bring ladders and scaffolding where safe, weatherproofing to prevent leaks into lofts.
Every job includes time-stamped before-and-after photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer. If the damage is severe—like a frame too rotten to fix non-destructively—we’ll talk options upfront.
Emergency Situations We Cover in W10
Kensal Town sees its share of incidents, from canal-side break-ins to gusts off the water damaging roofs. We respond to:
-
Burglary repairs: Secure the entry point fast—thieves often target ground-floor flats near Kensal Green station.
-
Vandalism repair: Smashed glass from youth groups or grudge attacks on Golborne Road shops.
-
Storm damage: High winds ripping slates off terraces or debris from the canal bridge.
-
Fire damage: Boarding after Kensington fire crews leave, focusing on securing voids (we don’t do smoke cleanup).
-
Flood damage: Swollen doors from canal overflow or heavy rain in low-lying spots.
Keep your police crime reference if applicable, snap safe photos beforehand, and contact your insurer early—we provide the docs they need, but we’re not adjusters.

-
Commercial: Golborne Road traders or Chamberlayne Road takeaways—out-of-hours to avoid disrupting trade.
