Boarding Up in Bray (SL6)

We’re local specialists who know this affluent Berkshire village inside out—from the charming period homes along Bray High Street to the large riverside properties near Bray Lock. Call 01753 379 919 now for prompt service across SL6.

Bray sits prettily on the River Thames, just a short drive from Maidenhead station and the A308 towards Windsor. It’s a mix of historic cottages, substantial detached houses from the Edwardian era, and modern builds in areas like Braywoodside and Fifield. With its upscale vibe—think Michelin-starred spots like The Waterside Inn—properties here are often high-value, whether owner-occupied family homes or rentals for commuters heading to London via nearby Taplow station. We cover all of SL6, including Bray Reach, Bray Wick, and the lanes off The High Street, securing everything from sash windows in listed buildings to bifold doors on contemporary riverside extensions.

Why Bray Properties Need Specialist Boarding Up

Living or running a business in Bray means dealing with unique local challenges. Thames-side locations can face occasional flooding or high winds that loosen slates and smash skylights, while the village’s quiet lanes see opportunistic vandalism, especially around pub closing times on The High Street. Burglaries often target ground-floor windows or French doors left ajar during summer evenings.

Our technicians, DBS-checked and fully insured, arrive equipped for these scenarios. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and doors, cut precisely on-site to fit awkward frames—common in Bray’s older properties. For larger openings like shopfronts near the village green or temporary security on vacant riverside homes, we install anti-tamper fixings that can’t be prised off from outside. If access is tricky, such as narrow lanes off Fifield Road, we bring extending ladders and lightweight gear to minimise disruption.

Take a recent case: a homeowner on Bray High Street returned from Maidenhead races to find their Victorian bay window shattered—likely vandals. We boarded it securely that evening with 12mm OSB for the smaller panes and heavy-duty ply for the main frame, providing time-stamped before-and-after photos plus an itemised work statement for their insurer. No mess left behind, and the property was weatherproof overnight.

Our Boarding Up Services Tailored to SL6

We handle all the main services right here in Bray:

• Window boarding: Ideal for cracked panes or smashed glass in sash or casement windows prevalent in local cottages.
• Door boarding: Securing forced entries, with options for temporary steel doors on unattended properties.
• Shopfront or garage boarding: For the few commercial units or oversized residential doors near The Waterside Inn.
• Roof boarding: Critical after storms battering Thames Valley roofs, sealing skylights or holes with waterproof overlaps.

We prioritise non-destructive methods where possible—if the frame near Bray Lock is swollen from damp, we’ll assess and explain alternatives before cutting. You’re left with clear documentation: invoice, photos, and a compliance note insurers in the SL6 area expect.

Our coverage extends seamlessly to nearby spots like Maidenhead (SL6), Cookham, and Winkfield, so if your incident spills over from a night out at Monkey Island, we’re still your first call. We don’t promise exact arrival times—traffic on the A4 can vary—but urgent SL6 jobs get top priority.

Practical Steps After Damage in Bray

1. Stay safe: If it’s a break-in, note your police crime reference and avoid entering if unsafe.
2. Contact us: Call 01753 379 919—we’ll talk through the damage over the phone.
3. Photos if possible: Snap the affected area before we arrive; it helps your insurance claim.
4. We’ll secure it: On-site assessment, boarding fitted, site tidied.
5. Follow-up docs: Everything emailed promptly for your records.

For vacant properties common in Bray between tenancies—perhaps a riverside let—we recommend steel security screens for longer-term protection without permanent changes.

FAQs About Boarding Up in Bray (SL6)
