Boarding Up in Beggarwood – Emergency Services RG22

When a break-in, storm or accident leaves a property vulnerable in Beggarwood, you need local experts who understand the area’s layout and respond quickly. We’re your go-to for boarding up Beggarwood, covering RG22 and the surrounding RG postcodes with practical, reliable securing solutions. From the modern family homes off Roman Road to the edges near Beggarwood Country Park, we handle everything from smashed windows to damaged shopfronts without the corporate hassle.

Why Beggarwood Properties Need Tailored Boarding Up

Beggarwood sits on the western side of Basingstoke, a planned 1990s housing estate that’s grown into a family-focused suburb. You’ll find rows of semi-detached and detached homes built with large UPVC windows and French doors—perfect for modern living but tricky to secure properly after damage. The area’s mix of quiet cul-de-sacs like Drake Close and Elgar Walk, plus the open spaces around Beggarwood Country Park, means properties can feel exposed, especially if left unattended.

We’re familiar with the local challenges:

• Proximity to main roads: Homes backing onto the A33 or Winchester Road face higher risks from passing traffic or opportunistic vandalism.
• Family homes and rentals: Many properties here are let to tenants, so landlords need non-destructive boarding methods to avoid disputes.
• Commercial spots: Small parades of shops and takeaways along Roman Road often deal with out-of-hours incidents.

Unlike generic services, we use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for larger openings like bay windows common in these builds, fixed with anti-tamper screws that can’t be removed from outside. For doors, we offer temporary steel doors where frames are too compromised for simple boarding.

Common Scenarios in Beggarwood and How We Respond

Burglaries spike around quieter parks like Beggarwood Country Park, where rear gardens provide cover. Vandalism hits the local shops on Roman Road after dark, and storm damage from winds sweeping across open fields affects roofs and skylights. We’ve secured properties here after vehicle impacts on driveways—those wide estate roads see their share of minor collisions.

Take a typical case: A family on Elgar Walk returned from Basingstoke railway station to find their patio doors forced after a burglary. Police attended, but the property was open to the elements. We arrived within hours, assessed the mangled frame, fitted a temporary steel door for medium-term security, and provided time-stamped photos plus an itemised report for their insurer. No mess left behind, and the door stayed secure until repairs.

Our coverage extends seamlessly to nearby areas like Chineham, Popley, Buckskin and Oakley, so if you’re on the edge of Beggarwood, we’re still your closest option without crossing into central Basingstoke.

Our Boarding Up Process for RG22 Properties

1. Call us: Share your police reference number if applicable—we prioritise based on urgency.
2. Site visit: We check access (no scaffolding needed for most ground-floor work here) and measure precisely.
3. Secure on-site: Using 12mm OSB for smaller windows or plywood for bigger ones, fixed to masonry or frames. Weatherproof seals prevent damp in these exposed homes.
4. Documentation: You get photos before/after, invoice breakdown, and a work statement insurers expect.

We carry public liability insurance and use DBS-checked technicians, but we’re honest—we don’t guarantee fixed arrival times as traffic on the A33 varies. If the damage involves structural issues, we’ll flag it early.

For commercial properties like the units near Roman Road, we adapt with larger panels and minimal disruption during trading hours.

We’re not adjusters, but our reports match what they need. In RG22, with so many rental properties, tenants should alert landlords immediately to avoid void periods.
