Services We Provide in Petts Wood BR5
We offer a full range of boarding up services tailored to Petts Wood’s residential and light commercial properties. Here’s what we cover:
Window Boarding
Broken or vulnerable windows are common after incidents here—perhaps a cricket ball through a pane near the recreation ground or vandalism targeting ground-floor homes. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to exact sizes, fixed with anti-tamper screws to prevent easy removal. This weatherproofs the opening while you arrange glaziers. See more on our window boarding process.
Door Boarding Up
Damaged doors, especially uPVC ones on the area’s modern semis, need quick securing. We board over frames or fit temporary steel doors for added strength, ideal if the property will be empty. Anti-tamper fixings ensure security from the outside.
Shopfront Boarding
Petts Wood’s high street and small retail units by the station rely on us for larger panels. We secure shopfronts with 18mm plywood or OSB for bigger glazing, using heavy-duty fixings that hold against repeated impacts. Details on shopfront boarding.
Roof and Skylight Boarding
Storms blowing slates off roofs overlooking the woods or skylights on bungalows require overhead access. We use scaffolding where needed and seal with heavy-duty sheeting under the boards to keep out rain—crucial in this exposed part of BR5. Learn about roof boarding.
For medium-term needs, like vacant homes between tenancies, ask about our steel security screens.
