White City mixes modern high-rise flats from the old BBC Television Centre redevelopment with commercial hubs like the massive Westfield shopping centre and units along Shepherd’s Bush Road. We know the challenges here: tight access in crowded residential estates, large glazing on retail facades, and the need for discreet work near busy transport links like White City tube or the Central line at Wood Lane. Whether it’s a Victorian-era window in a period conversion or a shopfront hit by vandalism, we handle it with minimal disruption.
Services We Provide in White City W12
We offer a full range of boarding up services tailored to W12’s property mix. Each job uses appropriate materials like 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows or heavy-duty OSB for doors, fixed with anti-tamper screws to deter further issues.
- Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes in flats overlooking Loftus Road or the media village. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and seal against rain—essential in this exposed urban spot.
- Door boarding up: Securing forced entries on front doors or communal entrances. Where needed, we install temporary steel doors for added strength, particularly useful for vacant units post-redevelopment.
- Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail spaces near Westfield or along Uxbridge Road. We use reinforced fixings to handle high footfall areas without obstructing trade.
- Roof boarding: For storm-damaged skylights or flat roofs on low-rise commercial buildings. Access via cherry pickers if required, with temporary sheeting to prevent water ingress.
These services keep your W12 property protected until glaziers or builders arrive. We provide time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised invoice for your records.
Emergency Situations We Handle in White City W12
White City’s dense urban feel means incidents like burglaries near Shepherd’s Bush Market or storm damage during windy nights off the A40 are common. We’re equipped for all:
- Burglary repairs: Securing jimmied doors or smashed side windows right after police leave—vital with valuables nearby.
- Vandalism repair: Boarding up graffiti-tagged shopfronts or opportunistic window breaks in quieter residential pockets.
- Storm damage: Tarp and boarding for debris-hit roofs, especially after gales sweeping across the open spaces near the stadium.
- Fire damage: Post-fire securing (we don’t do remediation), coordinating with fire services around high-density blocks.
- Flood damage: Addressing swollen frames from heavy rain overwhelming local drains, with ventilation to prevent mould.
Keep your police crime reference or incident number handy—we’ll note it for your insurance claim. Take safe photos beforehand if you can.
