Upshire sits on the edge of Epping Forest, with its mix of semi-rural bungalows, period cottages along Horseshoe Hill, and scattered farms. Properties here face unique risks: woodland exposure to storm debris or opportunistic break-ins when homes stand empty. We know the narrow lanes and access challenges around Bell Common, arriving equipped for quick, secure fixes using 18mm exterior-grade plywood or 12mm OSB where appropriate.
Services We Provide in Upshire EN9
We handle all standard boarding up services tailored to EN9 properties, from residential windows to commercial shopfronts. Here’s what we offer locally:
- Window boarding: For cracked or smashed panes in Upshire’s older cottages. We measure on-site, cut to fit, and secure with anti-tamper screws to prevent further intrusion.
- Door boarding: Temporary plywood over forced entries, or temporary steel doors for medium-term security on vacant bungalows near the forest edge.
- Shopfront boarding: Though commercial units are fewer in Upshire itself, we cover nearby retail on the Waltham Abbey fringes with heavy-duty panels.
- Roof boarding: Securing skylights or storm-damaged roofs on farm outbuildings, with weatherproof seals to protect against Epping Forest downpours.
Our technicians use non-destructive methods where possible, explaining options if a frame needs replacement support.

Property Types We Secure in Upshire EN9
Upshire’s housing stock—detached bungalows, 1960s semis, and converted farm buildings—calls for adapted approaches:
- Residential: Family homes along Common Side, where discretion matters for unattended properties.
- Commercial: Small workshops or pubs near the Waltham Abbey border.
- Vacant properties: Steel security screens for empty lets between tenancies, common in this semi-rural spot.
For a real Upshire scenario: Last winter, a bungalow on Horseshoe Hill suffered storm damage to its side window from a fallen branch. We arrived within hours, cleared debris safely despite the muddy access, fitted 18mm plywood with anti-tamper fixings, and left the owner with photos and an itemised statement for their insurer. Property secured, stress minimised.
