Kensal Green mixes bustling residential streets with commercial spots along Harrow Road, Victorian terraces around Kensal Green station, and quieter spots near the Grand Union Canal and Kensal Green Cemetery. Whether it’s a smashed window on a house off College Road or a shopfront hit on Scrubs Lane, we know the local access challenges—like narrow side roads or canal-side properties—and handle them without fuss.
Services We Provide in Kensal Green NW6
We offer a full range of boarding up services tailored to Kensal Green’s property mix, from period homes to retail units. Here’s what we do:
-
Window boarding: For broken or cracked windows common in older NW6 terraces. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to fit precisely, secured with anti-tamper fixings to keep weather and intruders out.
-
Door boarding: Damaged front or rear doors get immediate securing, often with temporary steel doors for longer-term protection on vacant flats near the station.
-
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for businesses on Harrow Road or Chamberlayne Road, using reinforced OSB or plywood to match commercial glazing sizes and prevent stock loss.
-
Roof boarding: For storm-damaged roofs or skylights on canal warehouse conversions, we weatherproof openings safely, working around height access issues.
All work uses materials suited to North West London’s damp climate, and we provide time-stamped photos before and after for your records or insurer.
Emergency Situations We Handle in Kensal Green
Kensal Green’s urban edges mean incidents like burglaries near the Overground station or vandalism after dark are all too common. We secure properties right away:

Burglary repairs: Post-break-in, we board up forced entries fast—vital with valuables at risk in NW6 homes.
-
Vandalism repair: Smashed glass from youth gatherings or targeted attacks on shops; we cover it securely overnight.
-
Storm damage: High winds off the canal damaging roofs or windows—we prioritise weatherproofing.
-
Fire damage: After London Fire Brigade clears the scene, we board up to prevent looting, though we don’t handle smoke cleanup.
-

Keep your police crime reference or fire service log— we’ll document everything for insurance claims.

Our Local Coverage Around Kensal Green NW6

In a real scenario here, a shop owner on Harrow Road called after vandals smashed their overnight display window.

The owner reopened the next day with temporary security holding firm.
Why Choose Us for Boarding Up in Kensal Green NW6
We’re not a national chain—we’re North West London specialists who know Kensal Green’s layout, from dodging station crowds to canal access. Our technicians use trade-standard methods: non-destructive screwing where frames allow, switching to through-bolting if damage is severe (we’ll explain upfront). No fixed arrival promises—traffic on the A404 or North Circular varies—but urgent NW6 calls go top of the list.
We’re honest about scope: we secure the site, provide insurer-ready paperwork, but recommend glaziers for permanent repairs. Years handling NW postcodes mean we anticipate issues like softwood frames in older properties rotting faster in damp conditions.
How the Process Works When You Call
- Phone us: Describe the damage—window size, location, access (e.g., upper floor near Kensal Green Cemetery gates?).
- We assess remotely: Advise if safe to wait or evacuate.
- Attend site: Bring tools, materials; secure non-destructively if possible.
- Document: Photos, work description, invoice—no surprises.
- Follow-up: Notes for your claim; optional steel door quote.
Take photos beforehand if safe, note any police attendance, and contact your insurer early.
