Services We Provide in Regent Street W1B

We offer full boarding up services tailored to the commercial intensity of Regent Street and surrounding streets like Argyll Street. Our technicians, DBS-checked and fully insured, bring the right materials on the first visit.

• Window boarding: For cracked or shattered panes in offices overlooking Oxford Circus station or residential flats above shops. We measure precisely to cover sash or casement frames without further damage.
• Door boarding up: Securing forced entries on back deliveries or side entrances, often with temporary steel doors for unattended premises.
• Shopfront boarding: Large-scale panels for retail units on Regent Street itself—weatherproof and robust against passers-by tampering.
• Roof boarding: Access via scaffolding or cherry pickers for skylights on flat commercial roofs, common in this area’s low-rise blocks.

These services prevent further intrusion or weather damage, vital in a high-footfall zone like W1B where properties can’t afford downtime.

Property Types We Secure in W1B

This postcode blends premium retail with professional spaces and hidden residential pockets, so we adapt our approach:

• Residential properties: Flats in converted Georgian townhouses off Regent Street, where discreet boarding preserves period features.

A real scenario here: Last winter, a luxury boutique on Regent Street had its shopfront shattered by a rogue scaffold board in high winds. We arrived within hours, boarded the 4m-wide glazing with reinforced plywood fixed to the frame’s steel substructure, and fitted anti-tamper screws visible only from inside. The owner got full documentation for their claim, and trading resumed the next day behind secure panels.
