If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage, or vandalism in West Harrow HA2, you need boarding up West Harrow that’s fast, reliable, and done by people who know the area. We’re Boarding Up Harrow, your local specialists covering all of HA2—including the residential streets around West Harrow Underground station, the family homes on Roxeth Green Avenue, and the local shops along Cundy Road. We operate 24/7, responding to urgent calls across HA2 without fixed arrival promises, but prioritising emergencies like yours. Call 020 4634 5472 now for immediate help.
West Harrow’s mix of interwar semis, low-rise flats, and small parades makes it a typical northwest London suburb—quiet during the day, but vulnerable at night when the Piccadilly line commuters are away. We’ve secured properties here after everything from smashed rear windows in gardens backing onto Roxeth Recreation Ground to shopfront damage on the local high street stretches. Our team uses the right materials for HA2’s weather-exposed homes, like 18mm exterior-grade plywood for larger openings, ensuring temporary protection until glaziers or repairs arrive.
Services We Provide in West Harrow HA2
We handle all standard boarding up services tailored to West Harrow’s property mix. Here’s what we offer:
-
Window boarding: For cracked or broken windows common in HA2’s older semis. We measure on-site, cut plywood or OSB to fit precisely (12mm OSB for smaller panes, 18mm plywood for bigger bays), and fix with anti-tamper screws. Why? It stops weather ingress and opportunistic theft—vital if your home on Malvern Avenue will be empty while you claim on insurance.
-
Door boarding up: Damaged front or rear doors get secured with heavy-duty plywood or, for longer-term needs, temporary steel doors. We’ve done this after forced entries in West Harrow, where frames on Edwardian-style homes often twist but can be non-destructively braced.
-
Shopfront boarding: Local takeaways and newsagents along Cundy Road or near the station rely on us for overnight security. Larger panels with metal reinforcement prevent kick-ins, and we provide time-stamped photos for your insurer.
-
Roof boarding: Rare but serious in HA2’s exposed roofs—think storm-lifted tiles over bungalows. We use weatherproof sheets fixed from ladders or scaffolding, focusing on containment rather than full repairs.
For any job, expect an itemised invoice, before-and-after photos via email, and a work statement detailing materials and methods. We’re not glaziers, so this is temporary security—perfect for bridging to permanent fixes.
Emergency Situations We Cover in West Harrow
West Harrow sees its share of situations that demand quick action. We secure properties right after:
-
Burglary repairs: A rear window smashed on a house near West Harrow station— we’ve boarded it up while you get your police crime reference number.
-
Vandalism repair: Graffiti or stone-throwing at flats on Lascelles Avenue; we clean minimally and board securely.
-
Storm damage: High winds ripping slates off roofs backing Roxeth Park—we prioritise weatherproofing.

In one real scenario here, a family on Roxeth Green Avenue returned from holiday to find their side door forced after a burglary. We arrived that evening, fitted a temporary steel door with anti-tamper fixings, documented everything for their insurer, and left them secure overnight. No drama, just practical help.
