We’re local specialists covering the W3 postcode, including the residential streets around West Acton Underground station and the commercial units along Western Avenue. Available 24/7, we respond quickly to urgent calls from this bustling part of Acton, where Victorian terraces meet modern flats and busy A40 traffic.

When windows smash or doors are forced—whether from a burglary after dark or a vehicle clipping a shopfront on Bollo Bridge Road—we get there fast with the right materials. No fixed arrival promises, as traffic on the Western Avenue can vary, but we prioritise W3 emergencies and know the shortcuts around Gunnersbury Lane.

Services We Provide in West Acton W3

We handle all standard boarding up services tailored to West Acton’s mix of homes and businesses. Here’s what we cover:

Window Boarding

Broken sash windows on period properties or uPVC frames in newer flats—common after local burglaries. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to fit precisely, secured with anti-tamper screws. This prevents further intrusion while allowing light and ventilation where possible. Learn more about window boarding.

Door Boarding Up

Forced entries leave awkward gaps, especially on front doors facing busy streets like Western Avenue. For short-term needs, we board over; for longer security on vacant spots, we fit temporary steel doors that lock securely. Our technicians assess frame damage on-site to avoid unnecessary destruction.

Shopfront Boarding

West Acton’s few retail units, like those near the station or along the A40, need robust protection after smash-and-grab incidents. Larger 18mm plywood panels or OSB for cost-sensitive jobs, fixed with coach bolts into the surrounding structure. We coordinate out-of-hours to minimise business disruption. See shopfront boarding.

Roof and Skylight Boarding

Storm debris from nearby Acton Park or high winds off the Western Avenue can damage roofs on semi-detached homes. We use weatherproof plywood with temporary battens, ensuring no water ingress until full repairs. Access via scaffolding if needed for steeper pitches common here. Details on roof boarding.

All work uses DBS-checked technicians with public liability insurance. We provide time-stamped photos before/after, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer.

Late one evening, a family on Selbie Road returned from West Acton station to find their back door forced after a burglary. Glass everywhere, valuables gone—police reference in hand, they called us.
