Boarding Up in Burpham

If you’ve had a break-in, storm damage, or vandalism in Burpham, emergency boarding up in BN18 is what you need to secure your property fast. We’re local specialists covering the BN postcodes, including this quiet village off the A27, and we understand the rural feel here—farms, period cottages, and family homes that need prompt protection against the elements or opportunists.

Burpham sits in the heart of West Sussex countryside, just a short drive from the River Arun and surrounded by fields and woodlands. Properties here range from traditional flint cottages along Burpham Road to larger farmhouses and modern bungalows near Ford Lane. With the A27 running nearby, it’s a mix of rural residents and commuters who rely on us for quick, reliable boarding up services in Burpham. Whether it’s a smashed window on a village home or a damaged outbuilding gate, we handle it with materials suited to the area’s exposed locations.

Why Burpham Properties Need Specialist Boarding Up

Living or owning property in Burpham means dealing with weather that can turn quickly—strong winds off the Arun Valley or heavy rain that seeps through damaged frames. Common here are Victorian-style cottages with single-glazed windows vulnerable to cracks, and agricultural buildings with wide doors prone to forced entry. Vandalism spikes around quieter lanes like Tortington Lane, while storms often hit roofs on elevated sites.

We’re familiar with the access challenges too. Narrow roads mean our vans navigate carefully, but we’re equipped for it—ladders for two-storey homes, cherry pickers for farm barns if needed. For window boarding in Burpham, we use 18mm exterior-grade plywood cut to exact sizes, fixed with anti-tamper screws that hold firm against coastal gusts common in BN18.

Take a recent case: a family in a semi-detached near Ford station had their rear door kicked in during a burglary. The property backed onto open fields, so securing it quickly was crucial to prevent further intrusions or water damage from overnight rain. We arrived within the hour, fitted a temporary steel door panel, and left time-stamped photos plus an itemised work sheet—exactly what their insurer needed.

Our Boarding Up Services Tailored to Burpham

We cover all the essentials for properties here:

• Window boarding: Ideal for cracked panes in older cottages or French doors overlooking gardens. We overlap the plywood by 5cm for weatherproofing.
• Door boarding up: From uPVC front doors on Burpham Road homes to sturdy farm gates—non-destructive where possible, or full replacement options explained upfront.
• Shopfront or outbuilding security: Less common in the village, but we secure garages or rare commercial units near the A27 junction.
• Temporary steel doors and screens: Perfect for void farm properties or unattended cottages, using galvanised steel to withstand rural conditions.

Our technicians are DBS-checked and carry public liability insurance, so you can trust us on site—even in remote spots like those near Tortington Common. We prioritise BN18 calls, factoring in the short hop from nearby Ford station or the A27.

1. Call us: Dial 01273 092 166 with your police reference if it’s post-burglary. Note down details like the address on Ford Lane or Burpham Road.
2. We assess remotely first: Over the phone, we’ll gauge urgency—e.g., is it a ground-floor window or a high-level roof?
3. On-site: Measure, cut materials to fit (we carry stock for standard sizes), fix securely. Expect plywood for windows, steel for doors.
4. Documentation: You get photos before/after, invoice breakdown, and a statement for insurers. Safe to take your own pics beforehand if you can.

We don’t promise exact arrival windows—traffic on the A27 varies—but urgent jobs in Burpham get top priority. Smoke damage after a barn fire? We secure the structure but refer remediation specialists.
