We’re your local specialists covering the BR3 postcode, including the residential streets around Clock House railway station and the busier spots near Village Way.

Clock House BR3 is a compact, family-oriented area with a mix of Edwardian houses, 1930s semis, and low-rise flats, often clustered around the station and local amenities like the Clock House shops on Beadon Road. Proximity to Beckenham High Street means more commercial properties too, from independent retailers to takeaways. We know the layout well: narrow drives that challenge van access, rear gardens prone to vandalism, and bay windows common in older homes that need precise boarding. When damage strikes—say, a storm tile slipping on a pitched roof near Wickham Road—we’re equipped to secure it without fuss.
Services We Provide in Clock House BR3
We handle all standard boarding up needs tailored to BR3 properties. Our technicians use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and doors, or 12mm OSB for lighter fixes, secured with anti-tamper screws to deter further issues.
- Window Boarding: For cracked panes or forced entries in those characteristic bay windows around the station. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and seal against weather. [Learn more about window boarding](/services/window-boarding/).
- Door Boarding Up: Temporary plywood over damaged frames, or full temporary steel doors for longer security on vacant flats. Ideal after burglaries on side alleys off Manor Road.
- Shopfront Boarding: Larger panels for retail units near Beadon Road, using reinforced fixings to withstand overnight exposure. We coordinate out-of-hours to minimise disruption. See our shopfront boarding process.
- Roof Boarding: Securing holes from fallen branches or storm debris, especially on the older tiled roofs prevalent here. Access via ladders or cherry pickers if needed—always with safety first. Details on roof boarding.
For medium-term needs, like void properties, we install steel security screens that allow ventilation while preventing access.
Common Emergency Situations in Clock House
Storms rolling in from the south often hit BR3 hard, while antisocial behaviour spikes near the station after dark. Here’s how we respond:
- Burglary Repairs: Securing jimmied doors or smashed rear windows—common in ground-floor flats. We provide time-stamped photos and a work statement for your police reference and insurer.
- Vandalism Damage: Graffiti or stone-throwing on shopfronts along Village Way. Quick plywood fixes restore security overnight.

- Fire Damage: Post-blaze securing (we don’t handle smoke cleanup), coordinating with Kent Fire and Rescue if needed.
- Flood Damage: Swollen timber frames from Thames Water issues—ventilated boarding to aid drying.
Full guidance on these in our situations section, including burglary repairs and storm damage.
