Services We Provide in Bickley

We handle all types of boarding up tailored to Bickley’s property styles, from large ground-floor windows in period homes to shopfronts on busier roads. Here’s what we cover:

Window Boarding

Securing broken or vulnerable windows is our most common call in BR1. We measure on-site, cut plywood to fit precisely, and fix with screws into the frame—non-destructively where possible. Ideal for the sash windows common in Bickley’s older homes. Learn more about window boarding.

Door Boarding Up

For forced entries or damaged doors, we board over completely or fit temporary steel doors for better medium-term security. These work well for the solid oak front doors you’ll see around St. George’s Church area. Anti-tamper fixings ensure they hold if the property’s left empty.

Shopfront Boarding

Bickley has a few retail spots near the station and along main roads—we secure large glazing panels with reinforced plywood or OSB, overlapping edges for weatherproofing. Quick fixes for trading hours. See our shopfront boarding process.

Roof and Skylight Boarding

Overhead damage from storms affects Bickley’s exposed ridge-line homes. We use scaffolding or ladders for safe access, sealing with heavy-duty sheets and battens. Not full repairs, but enough to prevent leaks. Details on roof boarding.

All work uses materials built for UK weather, and we provide time-stamped photos plus an itemised invoice for your records.
