Property Types in Barking We Cover

IG11 Barking has a diverse property mix—from Greatfields estate flats and semis to town centre shops and void units above takeaways:

Residential: Terraces and maisonettes; easy rear access helps.
Commercial: High street shops near Barking station; out-of-hours work standard.
Vacant properties: Steel security screens for empty flats or units between lets.

Parking can be tight near the high street, so we plan access (e.g., alleyways for rear doors).

Typical scenarios here:

Boarding up bay windows on Victorian semis after overnight break-ins.
Shopfronts on Ripple Road hit by vehicles—needs oversized panels.
