Services We Provide in Shepherd’s Bush W12

We offer a full range of boarding up services tailored to W12 properties, using materials suited to the area’s mix of period homes and retail units.

Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes in residential sash windows or modern double glazing. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to exact sizes, fixed with anti-tamper screws to withstand attempts at removal—essential for unattended flats here.
Door boarding: Securing forced entries on front doors to terraced houses or rear accesses. Options include heavy-duty OSB panels or temporary steel doors for longer-term security on vacant properties near the market.
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail glazing along Uxbridge Road or Westfield outlets. We handle overnight jobs to minimise trading impact, using reinforced fixings for high-risk commercial spots.
Roof boarding: Weatherproofing holes from fallen debris or storm lift-off, common after windy nights affecting low-pitched roofs on older builds around Loftus Road.

All work includes time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised invoice for your records or insurer.

Common Emergency Situations in Shepherd’s Bush

Shepherd’s Bush sees its share of incidents, from opportunistic thefts amid the market crowds to weather hits on exposed properties. Here’s how we help after:

Burglary repairs: Post-break-in securing of jimmied doors or smashed side windows—vital in this densely packed area to stop repeat visits.
Vandalism repair: Boarding up graffiti-tagged or stone-thrown windows on shops or homes, often linked to late-night activity near stations.
Storm damage: Tarp and board fixes for wind-blown slates or branches through roofs, protecting against the rain that follows London’s sudden downpours.
Fire damage: Containing spread by boarding affected openings after the brigade leaves—we coordinate if fire service is still on scene.
Flood damage: Securing swollen frames in basements or ground floors, with ventilation gaps to aid drying out.

Keep your police crime reference if applicable, and snap photos before we arrive (if safe). We’re not adjusters, but our documentation supports straightforward insurance claims.
