Boarding Up Farnham Common (SL2)

If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage, or vandalism in Farnham Common, you need reliable boarding up fast. We’re local specialists covering SL2 and nearby SL1 postcodes, familiar with the suburban homes and small commercial spots around Gerrards Cross Road. From securing a smashed window on a family house near the village common to boarding up a shopfront after hours, we handle it with minimal disruption—our technicians know the back roads to get here quickly.

Farnham Common sits in the heart of SL2, a leafy commuter village with easy access to the M40 and A355. We’re just minutes away, whether you’re calling from the bustle of shops along Gerrards Cross Road, a quiet cul-de-sac off Deanway, or homes backing onto Farnham Common itself—that expansive village green perfect for walks but vulnerable to opportunistic break-ins after dark. Our coverage extends seamlessly into SL1 areas like Cippenham and Britwell, so if damage affects multiple properties, we coordinate across postcodes.

Properties We Secure in Farnham Common

This area’s housing stock is classic South Bucks suburban: 1930s and post-war detached houses and bungalows with large bay windows, plus some 1960s-70s semis clustered around roads like Hetton Road and Long Drive. You’ll find weatherboarding on older properties, UPVC frames on newer ones, and occasional timber doors that warp in the damp winters. Commercial spots are smaller—think the independent shops, estate agents, and pubs along Gerrards Cross Road, or the medical centre near the common.

Vacant properties here, often between tenancies for estate agents, need extra attention: we fit temporary steel doors or steel security screens to deter squatters drawn to empty homes near Egypt Woods. Residential jobs dominate, from window boarding after vandalism to full door boarding post-burglary. Landlords in SL2 appreciate our non-destructive fixings where possible, preserving deposit returns.

Nearby areas like Gerrards Cross, Stoke Poges, Fulmer, and Hedgerley share similar vibes—affluent villages with Chiltern commuter links. Gerrards Cross station, a short drive via the A355, brings in daily travellers whose homes get targeted during the day. We cover these seamlessly, using our knowledge of local access challenges like narrow lanes around the common.

Common Scenarios and How We Respond

Storms rolling in from the west often hit first here, ripping slates off roofs near St Mary’s Church or cracking skylights on bungalows. Vandalism spikes around the village green—youths smashing ground-floor windows—or targeted at shopfronts on Gerrards Cross Road after closing. Burglaries tend to focus on rear access from woodland edges, forcing patio doors that need immediate emergency boarding up.

Take a recent call from a homeowner on Mansfield Drive: a rear lounge window smashed overnight, likely from the fields behind. We arrived within the hour, measured the 1.2m x 1.5m opening, cut 18mm exterior-grade plywood on-site, and fixed it with anti-tamper screws into the brickwork. No mess left behind, time-stamped photos emailed, and a work statement for their SL2 insurer. Job done in under 90 minutes, property secure until glaziers the next day.

We prioritise weatherproofing—silicone seals around edges prevent damp ingress, crucial in this area’s clay soils and frequent rain. For commercial sites, like a café near the post office, we use 12mm OSB for lighter shopfronts or heavier ply for larger glazing, always checking frames for stability first.
