Portobello Road Boarding Up Service | Kensington Maintenance Services Ltd
As the Notting Hill Carnival approaches, businesses along Portobello Road and throughout the local area are preparing for one of London’s most vibrant and well-attended events. While the Carnival is a fantastic celebration of culture and community, the large crowds it draws can pose challenges for local property owners.
Each year, thousands of businesses choose to board up their shopfronts to minimise the risk of damage, deter opportunistic theft, and protect their premises during this busy period.
At Kensington Maintenance Services Ltd, we offer a trusted, efficient, and fully insured boarding up service to help businesses across Portobello Road and the surrounding streets prepare for Carnival safely and effectively.
Why Should You Board Up Before Carnival Weekend?
The Notting Hill Carnival brings an estimated two million visitors to the area over the August Bank Holiday weekend. While the event is largely positive, the sheer volume of attendees increases the potential for:
-
Accidental damage to glass and shopfronts
-
Opportunistic theft or vandalism
-
Increased costs of post-event repairs and cleanup
-
Potential disputes with insurance providers if preventative measures were not taken
Whether you operate a boutique, café, gallery, or retail shop on Portobello Road or in the surrounding area, proactive boarding up can help safeguard your business and reduce the risk of disruption.
