Boarding Up Northwood HA6
If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage, or a smashed window in Northwood HA6, you need reliable boarding up fast. We’re your local specialists for emergency boarding up in Northwood, covering the HA6 postcode around Northwood tube station, Green Lane, and the quieter residential spots off Joel Street. Available 24/7, we prioritise urgent calls from HA6—whether it’s a late-night vandalism hit on a property near Ducks Hill or urgent securing after a gusty storm near Northwood Hills Golf Club.
Northwood’s mix of spacious detached homes from the 1930s era, modern apartments by the station, and occasional commercial units along Station Road means we see a range of challenges. Large bay windows on family homes can be tricky to access, while shopfronts near the high street need robust fixes to deter repeat trouble. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for most openings, switching to 12mm OSB where weight is an issue, and always anti-tamper fixings to secure from the outside. Call 020 4634 5472 now—we’ll talk through your situation and get moving.
Services We Provide in Northwood HA6
We handle all standard boarding up needs across HA6, tailored to Northwood’s property styles. From the wide glazing on period homes off Pinner Road to smaller openings in flats near the Metropolitan line station, here’s what we cover:
Window Boarding
Broken or vulnerable windows are common after local incidents—think a cricket ball through a pane during summer play near Jack’s Lane. We measure on-site, cut plywood to fit precisely, and fix with screws into the frame where possible, avoiding damage to brickwork. For window boarding, we provide time-stamped before-and-after photos.
Door Boarding Up
Forced entries leave awkward gaps, especially on solid oak doors in Northwood’s older properties. We secure with heavy-duty plywood or fit temporary steel doors for better medium-term protection if the property might sit empty. Anti-lift channels prevent upward tampering, crucial around here where properties back onto wooded areas.
Shopfront Boarding
Retail spots along Station Road or near Northwood station face higher risks from opportunistic damage. Larger panels demand 18mm marine plywood with overlap seals for weatherproofing. Our shopfront boarding keeps businesses trading—minimal disruption, full documentation for your insurer.
Roof and Skylight Boarding
Overhead damage from fallen branches (common in Northwood’s leafy suburbs) requires scaffolding access or cherry pickers for safety. We board with reinforced OSB, sealing edges against rain ingress. See our roof boarding process for high-level work.
We also install steel security screens for void properties, popular with landlords in HA6 managing tenancies between lets.
Emergency Situations We Handle in Northwood
Northwood HA6 sees its share of urgent calls—burglaries spiking around quieter evenings, storms rattling tiles near the golf course, or vandalism targeting parked vans off Ducks Hill Road. We secure first, stabilise, then document:
- Burglary repairs: Post-break-in, we board smashed windows or doors quickly, noting damage for your police reference and insurance.
- Vandalism repair: Graffiti or deliberate glass damage on homes near Green Lane—we clean fixings ready for glaziers.
- Storm damage: Wind-blown slates or debris through skylights; we weatherproof while you arrange repairs.

- Flood damage: Swollen frames from heavy rain—we ventilate and board to prevent further water entry.
In one recent Northwood case, a family home on a cul-de-sac near Northwood Hills station suffered storm uplift on a dormer window late at night. We arrived promptly, assessed the exposed loft, boarded with sealed plywood, and left a full work statement—insurer approved without query.
Property Types We Secure in Northwood HA6
Northwood’s housing stock—affluent detached houses with big gardens, executive apartments by the station, and low-rise commercial along the high street—shapes our approach:
- Residential: Family homes and flats; non-destructive fixings preserve your deposit or sale value.
- Commercial: Shops and offices near Station Road; out-of-hours work to avoid trading impact.
- Vacant properties: Steel doors or screens for empties between tenancies, common in this landlord-heavy area.
Our DBS-checked team carries public liability insurance, and we provide itemised invoices every time.
