When You Need Boarding Up in Heston
Emergencies don’t wait, and in Heston – a bustling area in TW5 with busy spots like Heston Road’s shops, the community vibe around Heston Park, and proximity to Hounslow West station on the Piccadilly line – they can strike anytime. Common scenarios include:
- Burglaries and break-ins: Properties on Lampton Road or quieter residential streets often face forced entries, leaving doors kicked in or windows shattered.
- Vandalism or accidental damage: Smashed shopfronts near local takeaways on Heston High Street, or vehicle impacts close to the A4 Great West Road.
- Storm damage: High winds battering roofs or skylights in family homes near Heston Park, or blown-out windows in commercial units.
- Vacant properties: Void homes or business units in TW5 needing longer-term security against squatters.
We also cover window boarding in Heston, door boarding up in Heston, and shopfront boarding in Heston, using non-destructive methods wherever possible to avoid further damage to frames or brickwork.
How We Secure Your Property in Heston
Our approach prioritises safety, speed, and insurer approval. Here’s our straightforward process for boarding up in Heston:
- Rapid assessment: We arrive equipped, assess the damage (e.g., a broken window board up on a Heston Road flat), and agree a plan on-site.
- Secure fixing: We use 18mm marine-grade plywood or OSB boards cut to fit precisely, secured with anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside. For doors, we offer temporary steel doors for high-security needs.
- Weatherproofing and tidy-up: Boards are sealed against rain, and we clear glass debris safely – important near busy spots like Hounslow West station.
- Documentation: Time-stamped photos, itemised invoice, and a simple work statement for your insurance claim.
Non-destructive securing is our default, except in rare cases like severe structural damage where drilling might be needed (we explain this upfront). For shops, we coordinate around trading hours, and all work complies with safety standards.
Micro case study 1: A Heston Road convenience store had its shopfront smashed overnight. We fitted shopfront boarding using heavy-duty plywood and anti-tamper screws by 9am, allowing the owner to reopen the next day.
Micro case study 2: After a storm hit homes near Heston Park, we boarded up blown roof sections and skylights in TW5, providing temporary weatherproofing until roofers arrived.
Micro case study 3: A vacant property on Lampton Road was at risk post-burglary; we installed steel security screens for medium-term protection.
