Boarding Up Ashurst (BN44)

When a window shatters or a door is forced in Ashurst, you need local boarding-up specialists who understand the area’s quiet lanes and rural properties. Covering BN44, we secure homes, farms, and outbuildings fast—whether it’s after a break-in near Ashurst railway station or storm damage along the River Adur. Our team knows the winding roads like Bines Road and Cox Green, arriving equipped for the village’s mix of timber cottages and modern bungalows.

Why Ashurst Properties Need Reliable Boarding Up

Ashurst sits in the Low Weald countryside, a peaceful spot with footpaths leading to the River Adur and views towards the South Downs. Properties here range from period farmhouses with large sash windows to semi-detached homes near the station, plus occasional commercial spots like village pubs. The rural setting means isolation can heighten risks—vandalism from passing traffic on the B2116 or weather hitting exposed roofs.

We handle the specifics: overgrown access on narrow drives, securing outbuildings without damaging listed features, or boarding up after livestock-related accidents. Our DBS-checked technicians use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and anti-tamper fixings that hold against rural opportunists. No guesswork—we assess on-site and explain options clearly.

Common Boarding-Up Scenarios in Ashurst

Burglaries often target outlying sheds or garages here, especially unattended farms. Storms rolling in from the Adur valley can rip slates off roofs, while vandalism might strike a pub window after closing. We’ve seen it all in BN44:

Take a recent case on a property off Cox Green: a ground-floor window smashed overnight, likely youths from nearby Partridge Green. The owner, returning from work at Ashurst station, found glass everywhere. We arrived within the hour, cleared debris safely, fitted OSB panels with coach bolts from inside, and provided time-stamped photos plus a detailed work sheet. The property was secure by evening, ready for glaziers.

Our approach prioritises weatherproofing—vital with Ashurst’s damp winters—and non-destructive methods where possible. If a frame’s too splintered, we’ll flag it upfront.

How We Board Up in Ashurst and Nearby

1. Call us: Share your police reference if it’s a crime—helps prioritise.
2. We respond: No fixed times, but urgent BN44 calls jump the queue. Traffic from nearby Henfield or West Grinstead rarely delays us.
3. On-site: Measure precisely (e.g., bay windows common in older Ashurst homes), cut materials to fit, fix securely.
4. Finish: Hand over invoice, photos before/after, and insurance-ready statement. We tidy as we go.

For doors, we install temporary steel doors on uPVC or timber frames; shopfronts or roofs get larger panels with extra bracing. All work’s insured, and we carry public liability cover.

We extend to neighbouring spots like Partridge Green, West Grinstead, and Coolham—same postcode, same prompt service. Brighton might feel distant, but our BN coverage keeps us close.

Materials We Use and Why They Suit Ashurst

• Plywood (18mm marine-grade): For windows and doors—resists moisture from Adur mists better than OSB.
• OSB (12mm): Lighter for smaller openings like velux skylights on bungalows.
• Steel options: Temporary doors or security screens for vacant farm cottages, fitted with padlock hasps.

These choices prevent further damage: anti-tamper screws stop indoor removal, and overlaps seal against wind-driven rain common here.

What You Receive After We Board Up

• Itemised invoice (materials + labour, no surprises).
• Before/after photos via email or WhatsApp.
• Statement of works for insurance claims.
• Advice on next steps, like venting for flood risks near the river.

We’re not glaziers or adjusters, but our documentation matches what insurers expect. Take your own safe photos beforehand, and note the incident time.
