Enfield Island Village sits right by the water in the Ponders End area, with its modern blocks of flats overlooking the canal locks and easy access via Ponders End station or the A10 Great Cambridge Road. We know the layout here: narrow access paths between buildings, ground-floor units vulnerable to opportunists, and upstairs balconies that need careful securing. Whether it’s a residential flat on the island development or a nearby commercial unit off Hertford Road, we handle it with the right gear and local know-how.
Services We Provide in Enfield Island Village EN3
We offer all the core boarding up services Enfield Island Village residents and businesses rely on. Each job uses materials suited to the site’s challenges—like 18mm exterior-grade plywood for weather resistance along the damp canal towpath.
- Window boarding: For cracked or smashed panes in your flat’s double glazing. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and fix with anti-tamper screws from inside where possible, preventing further access.
- Door boarding up: Securing kicked-in doors or forced entries. Options include heavy-duty OSB panels or temporary steel doors for longer-term security on vacant units.
- Shopfront boarding: Larger panels for any retail spaces near the A10. We use reinforced fixings to withstand tampering, ideal for ground-floor commercial properties.
- Roof boarding: For storm-damaged skylights or flat roofs on modern townhouses. Access via ladders or cherry pickers, with tarpaulin underneath for immediate weatherproofing.
These services keep your property safe until glaziers or repairs arrive. We explain options upfront—no surprises.
Emergency Situations We Handle in EN3
Bad things happen fast in Enfield Island Village—maybe a burglary while you’re at work, or vandalism targeting waterside properties. Here’s how we respond to common emergency boarding up Enfield Island Village EN3 scenarios:
- Burglary repairs: Secure the entry point immediately. We provide time-stamped photos of the damage and boarding for your police report and insurer.
- Vandalism repair: Smashed ground-floor windows are common here; we board up quickly to deter copycats.

In one recent case, a townhouse on the island had its rear patio door forced during a quiet evening. Our team arrived within the hour, fitted a temporary steel door, and left a full work statement—property safe, owner back to claiming on insurance.
