Colindale’s mix of new apartment blocks, older social housing, and commercial units like those at the Peel Centre means damage can happen anywhere: a smashed window in a top-floor flat overlooking the RAF Museum, a shopfront hit on Edgware Road, or a door kicked in after hours. We get it—it’s stressful, especially late at night or in bad weather. Our team arrives equipped, secures the site, and leaves you with clear documentation for your insurer.

Services We Provide in Colindale HA8

We handle all types of boarding up tailored to Colindale’s properties, using materials like 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and anti-tamper fixings that can’t be removed from outside. Here’s what we cover:

Window boarding: For cracked or broken panes in residential flats or office blocks. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and seal against weather—essential around here where wind can whip up quickly near the tube.
Door boarding up: Securing forced entries with heavy-duty OSB or temporary steel doors for longer-term needs, like vacant units in Grahame Park.
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail on Colindale Avenue or the Peel Centre, using reinforced plywood to protect stock and deter further issues.
Roof boarding: For storm-damaged skylights or access points on low-rise commercial builds, with safe access methods and tarpaulin overlays.

These keep your property safe until glaziers or repairs arrive. We explain options upfront—if a frame’s too damaged, we’ll discuss alternatives without pressure.
