Why Boarding Up Matters in Sipson (UB7)
Sipson sits close to busy arterial routes and Heathrow-related industrial estates. That mix brings specific risks:
- Mixed-use streets and through-traffic
- Properties along the Bath Road and Sipson Road can be exposed to vehicle strikes or accidental impacts, especially at night and during bad weather.
- Commercial units and hotel-adjacent premises
- Shopfronts and small warehouses near airport service areas can be targeted for opportunistic theft or suffer vandalism after-hours.
- Older residential stock mixed with modern builds
- Period terraces and older casement or sash windows are more vulnerable to forced entry or storm damage. Newer apartments off main roads often have communal entries that, if damaged, need rapid temporary doors or secure boarding.
- Weather and debris risk
- High-sided vehicles and open exposures near the northern runway perimeter can funnel winds. Storms frequently cause broken panes, dislodged skylights, or damage from flying debris.
- Night-time economy and transient footfall
- With hotels, late-night transport links and shift patterns, out of hours incidents are more common. A smashed window or forced back door often can’t wait for morning.
In these scenarios, temporary boarding and secure fixings protect against further damage, stop easy re-entry, and keep the weather out. For smaller openings we typically use 12mm OSB; for doors, shopfronts and wider spans we use 18mm exterior-grade plywood with anti-tamper fixings so boards can’t be removed from outside. Where door security is compromised, a temporary steel door may be the safer choice.
A Typical Sipson Call-Out
A typical call-out might involve a ground-floor terrace near Sipson Recreation Ground where a back window is smashed after an attempted break-in around 11:30pm. On arrival, we assess whether the surrounding frame is sound. If the frame takes fixings safely, we cut 18mm plywood to size on site, chamfer edges to avoid damage to surrounding finishes and fit with internal battens and anti-tamper screws. If the frame is swollen or split, we’ll explain options—non-destructive methods first; if not feasible, we’ll talk through minimal, reversible fixings that still make the property secure.
Where a door won’t latch or the lock area is blown, we might fit a temporary steel door with multi-point locking so residents can use the entrance while the permanent repair is arranged. For insurers, we take time-stamped photos before and after, note materials used and fixings, and issue an itemised statement the same night by email.
What To Do Right Now (Sipson, UB7)
- Stay safe first
- If you suspect a break-in is in progress, don’t enter. Call 999. If the incident has passed, use 101 to log it and obtain a reference number.
- Make a quick check from a safe position
- Identify the damaged opening—window, door, shopfront, skylight—and keep clear of loose glass. For properties along Bath Road or near busy junctions, watch for traffic hazards if damage faces the street.
- Call us for emergency boarding up
- We’ll advise the next steps and give a clear ETA. If you have landlord or facilities authorisation requirements, let us know on the call.
- Document for insurance
- Take photos or short videos before we attend (only if safe). Keep your police reference number and insurer policy details to hand.
- Secure valuables and isolate risks
- Move valuables away from the opening. If water is coming in after storm damage, put down towels or buckets. If there’s exposed wiring or fire damage, keep the power off in that area and wait for professional advice.

Local FAQs – Sipson and UB7
Can you attend out of hours in Sipson if my shopfront is smashed late at night?
Yes. We provide 24/7 boarding up with materials suited to wider spans and toughened glass failures typical on shopfronts along Bath Road. We’ll make safe, clear the immediate hazard and secure until glazing can be replaced.
We’re in UB7 near airport service roads—can you still fit a temporary steel door the same night?
In most cases, yes. We carry temporary steel doors for compromised entries. If the opening is unusually large or distorted, we’ll explain options and may use reinforced boarding as an interim measure.
My landlord needs documentation for an insurance claim—what do you provide?
You’ll receive time-stamped before/after photos, an itemised invoice listing materials (e.g., 18mm exterior plywood, anti-tamper fixings), and a work statement describing the damage and how we made safe. Keep your police incident number if relevant.
Are older sash windows on terraces near Sipson Recreation Ground suitable for non-destructive boarding?
Often, yes. Where frames are sound, we use internal battens or frame-friendly methods to avoid damage. If timber is rotten or split, we’ll discuss minimal but secure fixings and why they’re needed.
Traffic near Heathrow can be heavy—how do you handle ETAs in UB7?
We don’t give fixed guarantees because conditions change quickly around the airport. On your call we’ll provide a realistic ETA based on current routes and prioritise urgent cases like unsecured doors or exposed shopfronts.
There’s glass on the pavement outside my property on Sipson Road—will you clear it?
We clear the immediate hazard as part of making safe. For larger volumes or public highway issues, we coordinate our clearance with safety in mind and advise if the local authority’s street cleansing team also needs to attend.
A storm lifted part of our skylight—can you weatherproof it temporarily in UB7?
Yes. We can board or over-sheet skylights and vulnerable roof openings to keep rain out, using suitable fixings and weatherproofing. Access will determine the exact method; we’ll discuss safe options on site.
Do you cover Harmondsworth and West Drayton as part of UB7?
Yes, we cover the whole UB7 district, including Harmondsworth and West Drayton. See nearby coverage pages here: boarding up Harmondsworth UB7 and boarding up West Drayton UB7.
