Dartmouth Park sits in the London Borough of Islington, known for its community feel, proximity to Whittington Hospital, and quick access via the Northern Line. Properties here—often solid red-brick homes from the late 1800s or interwar conversions—can suffer from everything from smashed bay windows after a burglary to roof damage from gusty winds sweeping down Highgate Hill. We secure them fast, using the right materials and methods to keep weather out and opportunists away, all while providing the documentation your insurer needs.
Services We Provide in Dartmouth Park NW5
We handle all types of boarding up services North West London in NW5, tailored to the area’s property mix. Here’s what we offer:
Window Boarding
Broken or vulnerable windows are common in Dartmouth Park’s older homes. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for larger openings like bay windows on Dartmouth Park Avenue, secured with anti-tamper screws. This prevents further damage while allowing light filtration. For details, see our window boarding page.
Door Boarding Up
Whether a forced entry on a garden flat door or a damaged front entrance, we board up securely or fit temporary steel doors for medium-term protection. In NW5’s terraced houses, we work around narrow access paths without causing extra disruption.
Shopfront Boarding
Commercial spots along Brecknock Road or near Archway’s shops need robust security. Our shopfront boarding uses heavy-duty OSB or plywood panels, fixed to withstand tampering—ideal for late-night vandalism hits.
Roof and Skylight Boarding
High winds off Parliament Hill can loosen slates on pitched roofs here. We access safely (often via scaffolding for steep pitches), boarding overhead openings with weatherproof seals. Check our roof boarding for more.
These services keep your Dartmouth Park property safe until glaziers or builders arrive.
