Boarding Up in Burchetts Green (SL6)
When a window shatters or a door is forced in Burchetts Green, you need local experts who understand the area’s quiet lanes and wooded surroundings. Boarding Up Slough covers SL6 comprehensively, including this rural hamlet just off Shurlock Road. We’re familiar with the mix of period cottages and larger detached homes dotted around Burchetts Green Common, and we respond promptly to secure properties here—whether it’s after a burglary or storm damage.
Burchetts Green sits in a leafy pocket of Berkshire, surrounded by ancient woodland and farmland. Properties here often feature traditional timber frames and large sash windows that can be vulnerable to impacts from falling branches or opportunistic break-ins. We know the challenges of accessing these homes, like narrow drives on Honey Lane or elevated sites near the common, and we arrive equipped for them.
Why Boarding Up Matters in Burchetts Green
This area’s peaceful character—close to landmarks like Burchetts Green Common and the historic war memorial—makes it a target for burglars seeking undisturbed entry. Vandalism is less common, but storm winds whipping through the woods can fell trees onto roofs or outbuildings. Shopfronts are rare here, but nearby commercial spots along the A4 Bath Road face similar risks.
Our emergency boarding up service is tailored to SL6 scenarios:
- Windows and doors: 18mm exterior-grade plywood for larger openings, 12mm OSB for smaller ones, fixed with anti-tamper screws.
- Roofs: Weatherproof sheeting over skylights or dormers, especially on older cottages.
- Temporary measures: Steel security screens for void properties, common when homes stand empty between sales.
We prioritise non-destructive methods where possible, but if a frame is splintered—say, from a vehicle veering off Shurlock Road—we’ll assess and explain replacements like temporary steel doors.
A Typical Scenario in Burchetts Green
Imagine a sharp gust during a winter storm snaps a branch onto a sash window of a 1930s detached home on Honey Lane. Glass scatters across the garden, rain threatens the interior, and the owners are away in Maidenhead. A quick call to us, and within hours, our team measures the opening on-site, cuts plywood to fit precisely, and secures it with coach bolts driven into the brickwork. Anti-tamper fixings ensure it holds against wind or tampering.
We provide time-stamped photos before and after, plus an itemised invoice noting materials (e.g., 18mm plywood, silicone seals for weatherproofing). This documentation supports your insurance claim, as most policies cover emergency securing in SL6.
