Services We Provide in Elmers End BR3
We offer all the core boarding-up services tailored to Elmers End’s property mix of 1930s semis, modern flats, and small commercial units. Here’s what we do:
-
Window boarding: Using 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to fit, secured with anti-tamper screws. Ideal for cracked panes in homes overlooking Elmers End Green or shop windows along the main road—keeps weather and opportunists out until glaziers arrive.
-
Door boarding: For forced entries, we fit heavy-duty OSB panels or temporary steel doors on the frame. Common after burglaries in this area, where rear access lanes make quick securing essential.
-
Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for retail glazing, fixed to withstand tampering. We’ve secured units near Elmers End station where late-night incidents hit takeaways or convenience stores.
-
Roof boarding: Weatherproof plywood over damaged slates or skylights, with scaffolding if needed for steeper pitches on period properties. Vital after storms battering exposed roofs here.
For longer-term needs on vacant spots, ask about steel security screens or temporary steel doors. We explain options on-site, including non-destructive methods where the frame allows.
Emergency Situations We Handle in Elmers End
Stressed after an incident? We secure first, advise next. Common call-outs in BR3 include:

Why Choose Boarding Up Bromley for Elmers End
We know Elmers End inside out: the tight turns off Elmers End Road, the mix of Edwardian villas and post-war builds, and how rain runs off towards the nearby streams. Our DBS-checked technicians carry public liability insurance and use trade-spec materials like 18mm plywood that’s certified for outdoor use.
No fixed arrival promises—traffic on the A232 or calls elsewhere affect that—but we triage urgents and communicate en route. Recent example: a shop owner near the station called post-vandalism at 11pm; we boarded the frontage within the hour, photos and invoice ready for morning insurance contact.
Honest process: We quote after seeing the job, explain if extras like steel doors add cost, and leave no mess.
