Why Boarding Up Matters In Perivale (UB6)
Perivale combines busy main roads, residential avenues and working estates. That mix leads to specific risks where fast, practical boarding up prevents further loss or damage.
- A40 corridor and Greenford Road: Higher traffic volumes mean more accidental impacts from thrown debris or minor collisions with low shopfront sills and corner glazing. When a pane goes, quick temporary boarding stops opportunistic entry and weather ingress.
- Retail clusters near Bilton Road and around the Perivale retail park area: Evening footfall and late deliveries can coincide with incidents—smashed windows, forced rear doors or roller shutters knocked off-track—requiring out of hours make-safe.
- Industrial and warehouse units off Wadsworth Road and the wider UB6 estates: Larger openings, loading-bay doors and glazed office fronts within industrial parks are common targets for vandalism after hours. We carry larger sheets for oversize spans and can fit temporary steel doors for medium-term security.
- Residential streets near Perivale Station and the Horsenden Hill side: Older timber frames and uPVC casements can split or blow in during storms. Boarding secures the property and helps keep heating in while replacement glazing is arranged.
- Weather and exposure: On open stretches around Horsenden Hill, wind uplift can dislodge roof lights or loft-access panels. Temporary roof/velux boarding keeps rain out and reduces internal damage until roofing works can attend.
Common UB6 scenarios we attend:
- Smashed shop windows on corners exposed to passing traffic.
- Rear door kick-ins on light-industrial units after attempted theft.
- Bay window impacts on residential terraces from accidental breakage.
- Storm-damaged roof glazing needing immediate weatherproofing.
- Vacant properties near transport links requiring temporary security.
We size and fit boards to each opening using exterior-grade 18mm plywood or suitable OSB thickness for smaller spans, with anti-tamper fixings so panels can’t be removed from outside—especially important if the building will be unattended.
A Typical Perivale Call-Out (What It Might Look Like)
A typical call-out might involve a convenience shop off Bilton Road at around 11:30pm after a smashed lower pane. On arrival, our technician would:
- Assess the frontage, check for remaining loose shards, and cordon the immediate area.
- Remove hazardous glass, vacuum fragments from frames and threshold if safe.
- Measure the window and cut 18mm exterior-grade ply to size on site.
- Secure the board using anti-tamper fixings into sound substructure; where frames are compromised, we’ll discuss non-destructive bracing options first. If the frame is too damaged for non-destructive methods, we’ll explain alternatives before proceeding.
- If the entrance door is affected, we can fit a temporary steel door for secure access and handover keys.
- Photograph the damage and final boarding with time stamps, then provide an itemised invoice and a brief work statement for insurance.
At every stage we explain what we’re doing, how long it will take, and what the next steps are for permanent repair.
What To Do In An Emergency In Perivale
If you’re dealing with a smashed window or forced door in UB6, keep it simple and safe:
- If a crime has just occurred: Call the police first and note your reference number. Don’t touch anything that could be evidence.
- Call us on 01895 696 176. Tell us it’s Perivale, UB6, and describe the opening (window/door/shopfront/roof light). We’ll give you an ETA and confirm materials.
- If it’s safe, move people away from broken glass and isolate the area. For shopfronts near Greenford Road or Bilton Road, consider a temporary barrier or staff presence until we arrive.
- Protect valuables out of sight from the street. Avoid taping or leaning items on cracked panes—they can fail without warning.
- Take a few photos of the damage and the surrounding area before anyone clears up (if safe). These help insurers and, if relevant, the police.
- Have access ready. For industrial units on Wadsworth Road or estates near the A40, arrange gate entry details so we can get on site quickly.
- Contact your insurer early. We’ll provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement that typically satisfies claims requirements. We’re not loss adjusters, but we know what they usually ask for.

Local FAQs – Perivale UB6
Can you attend out of hours near Perivale Station or along Bilton Road?
Yes. We provide 24/7 boarding up across UB6 and routinely attend late-night call-outs around the station area and the retail stretches off Bilton Road. Call for a realistic ETA; traffic and workload affect timings.
We’ve had a window smashed facing the A40 slip road—can you make it safe tonight?
Yes, we handle out of hours emergency boarding up in UB6. We’ll remove loose glass, board the opening with 18mm exterior ply and secure it with anti-tamper fixings so it can’t be removed from outside.
Our warehouse office on Wadsworth Road has a forced door—can you secure access?
We can board the frame and, if needed, fit a temporary steel door to restore secure access for staff. We’ll discuss options on site depending on frame damage and how long the property will be unattended.
Do you cover flats near Horsenden Hill with awkward access?
Yes. We’re used to limited parking and stair-only access. We plan materials and fixings accordingly and will discuss any constraints if the opening is at height or requires internal bracing.
Will your boarding stand up to wind on exposed sites in UB6?
We select material thickness and fixing patterns to suit exposure. For wind-prone frontages and corners, we increase fixings and bracing to prevent panel rattle or lift.
Can you help with documentation for an insurance claim in Perivale?
We provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a short work statement describing the damage and make-safe works—typically what insurers request. Keep your police reference if applicable.
The frame is badly damaged—will you still board it?
If non-destructive methods won’t hold due to frame damage, we’ll explain alternatives before proceeding—such as spanning to the substrate or using a temporary steel door—so you can approve the approach.
How quickly can you reach UB6 during rush hour?
We prioritise emergencies and attend as quickly as possible, but the A40 and Greenford Road can cause delays. Call us and we’ll give you an honest ETA based on current conditions.
