Timber Boarding Up in London

Despite having almost 9 million permanent residents, multiple world-renowned landmarks and a highly competitive property market, England’s capital currently has around 87,000 vacant properties. With that in mind, reliable boarding up screens in London are in high demand – especially as the city has a long history of squatters moving into empty buildings.

Thankfully, SafeSite Facilities is on hand to supply and install protective, custom-cut plywood screens for all kinds of properties throughout London and its boroughs. Each robust board is designed to fit your home’s vulnerable door and window recesses exactly, then secured in place with anti-tamper screws to lower the risk of unauthorised entry even further.

The solid timber design also creates a visual deterrent and completely conceals anything inside. This prevents thieves scouring vacant properties for valuable items like metal pipes and boilers, while the darkened interior will make your property much less appealing to squatters. Timber boarding up screens are also considerably cheaper than steel boards, making them a more cost-effective option for properties that will only be vacant in the short term.

In the event of an accident, fire or act of vandalism, SafeSite also offers an emergency boarding up service. So, whether you’re based in Tottenham or Tooting, we can quickly secure your home or commercial premises and protect the interior from the elements until new glazing can be sourced and fitted. Our timber screens are available to buy or hire to suit your needs and in many cases, your home insurance will cover the cost.
