Services We Provide in High Barnet EN5
We offer full boarding up services tailored to EN5 properties, using secure methods that hold up to weather and tampering.
Window Boarding
For cracked or broken windows common in High Barnet’s older homes, we measure the opening on-site and fix 18mm plywood panels with anti-tamper screws. This prevents further intrusion while allowing light through if possible. See full details on window boarding.
Door Boarding Up
Damaged front or rear doors? We secure them with heavy-duty OSB or install temporary steel doors for better medium-term protection, especially useful for vacant semis around the station. Non-destructive fixings where the frame allows.
Shopfront Boarding
Barnet High Street traders know the risks—smashed glazing from accidents or theft. Our shopfront boarding uses larger reinforced panels, fixed to withstand out-of-hours vulnerabilities.
Roof and Skylight Boarding
After storm damage exposing roofs over bungalows near Hadley Wood, we access safely (ladders or cherry pickers) and apply waterproof coverings over plywood. Details in our roof boarding guide.
All work uses materials suited to EN5’s suburban weather—damp winters and windy exposures.

- Burglary repairs: Jimmied doors or smashed panes— we board up quickly, noting damage for police reference numbers.
- Vandalism repair: Graffiti or stone-thrown windows on terraced houses; we clean fixings sites minimally before securing.
- Storm damage: Fallen branches through skylights near the green spaces—emergency weatherproofing first.
