Boarding Up in Paley Street (SL6)
If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage, or vandalism at your home or small business in Paley Street (SL6), you need reliable boarding up fast. We’re local specialists who know this quiet corner of the SL6 area intimately—from the scattered period cottages along Paley Street itself to the larger properties backing onto open countryside. We secure properties across SL6 with 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and doors, or heavier-duty options where needed, and our DBS-checked team handles everything from initial assessment to insurer-ready documentation.
Paley Street sits in that peaceful stretch between Maidenhead and Cookham, where the A330 winds through farmland and woodland. It’s not the bustling high street type of place—think hamlets with the odd farm shop like the one near Paley Street Farm, cosy pubs such as the Union Inn, and homes overlooking fields towards Bisham Woods. Properties here range from traditional brick cottages dating back to the 1800s, with their multipane windows prone to storm cracks, to more modern detached houses and occasional small commercial units tied to local agriculture. We’re familiar with the access challenges too: narrow lanes that require careful van positioning, especially after dark when visibility drops near the bends by Littlewick Green.
Why Paley Street Properties Need Specialist Boarding Up
Living or working in Paley Street means dealing with rural realities. High winds from the Thames Valley can rip slates off roofs on exposed farms, while opportunistic burglars target unattended outbuildings during the day when owners are commuting to Maidenhead station. We’ve secured everything from smashed sash windows on heritage cottages—using non-destructive fixings to preserve frames—to shopfront-style glazing at roadside businesses near the A330 junction.
Our approach starts with a site visit: we measure openings precisely (accounting for uneven stone lintels common in older SL6 builds), then cut plywood or OSB to fit. For doors, we often fit temporary steel panels if the frame’s too compromised, secured with anti-tamper screws that can’t be prised off from outside. This matters in Paley Street, where properties might sit empty over winter or between tenancies for estate agents handling lets towards Bray.
Take a recent case: a homeowner on a lane off Paley Street called after heavy rain and wind lifted roof tiles on their barn conversion, exposing the interior. With forecasts worsening, we arrived equipped for overhead work—ladders stabilised on soft ground, weatherproof seals applied around the edges. By morning, the site was secure, with time-stamped photos and a work statement for their insurance claim. No drama, just practical securing.
