Call 020 4634 7872 now if you need us tonight. We’re not promising fixed arrival times—conditions like rush hour on the A20 can vary—but we prioritise Ruxley emergencies and aim to get to you as soon as possible.
Services We Provide in Ruxley BR5
We offer a full range of boarding up solutions tailored to Ruxley’s residential and light commercial properties. Each service uses materials suited to the job, with fixings that hold against weather and opportunistic tampering.
Window Boarding
For cracked or broken windows common in the area’s older semis, we measure the opening on-site and cut plywood to fit precisely. Anti-tamper fixings from the outside prevent easy removal, vital if you’re leaving the property unattended. Learn more on our window boarding page.
Door Boarding Up
Damaged front or rear doors? We secure them with heavy-duty plywood or install a temporary steel door for better medium-term protection, especially useful for vacant homes between tenancies in Ruxley.
Shopfront Boarding
Though Ruxley is mostly residential, nearby garden centres and small businesses on Ruxley Lane may need larger panels for shopfronts. We handle these with reinforced OSB and additional bracing. See our shopfront boarding details.
Roof Boarding
Storms can lift fascias or damage skylights on bungalows around Footscray Meadows. We access safely, weatherproof openings, and provide time-stamped photos of the work. Check roof boarding for the full process.
All work comes with an itemised invoice, before-and-after photos, and a written statement of what we did—perfect for insurance claims.
