West Kilburn blends quiet residential areas with pockets of local commerce. Think Edwardian terraces and low-rise flats lining Sutherland Avenue, interspersed with independent shops and cafes on Salusbury Road near Queen’s Park station. Proximity to Kilburn Park Underground (Bakerloo line) and the Overground makes it a practical spot for commuters, but that also means properties here face risks from passing opportunists or weather hitting exposed high-street units. We know these nuances—securing a sash window in a period home differs from boarding a shopfront exposed to foot traffic.
Services We Provide in West Kilburn W9
We handle all standard boarding up services tailored to W9 properties. Here’s what we offer:
-
Window boarding: Using 18mm exterior-grade plywood for broken or cracked windows common in Victorian terraces. We measure on-site for a tight fit, securing with anti-tamper screws to withstand attempts at removal.
-
Door boarding: For forced entries, we fit heavy-duty OSB panels or temporary steel doors where frames are intact. Ideal for Maida Vale-style front doors left vulnerable overnight.
-
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail units on Salusbury Road, using reinforced fixings to cover extensive glazing while minimising disruption to passing trade.
-
Roof boarding: Securing skylights or damaged roof sections in flats above shops, with weatherproof seals to protect against West London’s frequent rain.
Each job uses materials suited to the opening size and exposure—12mm OSB for smaller domestic windows, thicker plywood for commercial fronts. We provide time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised work statement for your records.
