How We Secure Your Property

We prioritise non-destructive securing wherever possible. That means we aim to protect existing frames, brickwork and finishes while still delivering strong security.

• Assessment and safety first: We check for loose glass, unstable frames and any structural issues. Where structure is compromised, we’ll explain safe alternatives and why drilling or extra bracing may be necessary.
• Materials: We use trade-grade OSB or plywood, typically 11–18 mm thick depending on opening size, risk level and insurer expectations.
• Fixings: Anti-tamper fixings are used so boards can’t be easily removed from the outside.
• Openings covered:
  • Windows and French doors: Custom-cut OSB/ply panels fitted tight to frame lines.
  • Doors and frames: Door boarding up or a temporary steel door if a working, lockable entry is needed.
  • Shopfronts: Larger-format glazing secured with additional bracing; coordination with shutters where present.
  • Roofs/skylights: Temporary weatherproofing and boarding, with safe access measures.
• Optional security: Temporary steel doors and steel security screens for void property security or where repeated attempts are a risk.
• Clean, tidy finish: We remove loose shards and sweep immediate areas before we leave.
• Insurer-friendly evidence: Time-stamped photos, a simple work statement and an itemised invoice are provided. Keep your police reference number if you have one.

If you’ll need glazing afterwards, we can coordinate with trusted partners for board & glaze follow-on works.

Micro Case Studies in Brixton

• Electric Avenue, SW9 – Smashed shopfront overnight: A fashion retailer reported a smashed pane just after closing. We attended out-of-hours, made the area safe, boarded the large glass with braced OSB and anti-tamper fixings, and worked around a roller shutter. Photos and an itemised invoice were supplied for their insurer. The retailer reopened safely the next morning.

• Brixton Hill, SW2 – Post-burglary door boarding: A ground-floor flat had a kicked-in door frame. We installed a temporary steel door to provide a lockable, secure entry while carpentry repairs were arranged. Non-destructive methods were used on surrounding plaster and brickwork, and we provided time-stamped images for the claim.

• Coldharbour Lane, SW9 – Storm-damaged sash window: High winds cracked glazing and loosened putty. We removed loose shards, boarded externally with 18 mm OSB due to exposure, and added weatherproofing tape. The resident later arranged glazing through a partner we introduced.

How fast can you attend in Brixton?

We offer 24/7 emergency coverage with efficient dispatch across SW2 and SW9. While we don’t quote exact ETAs, we prioritise emergencies and keep you updated until we arrive.

Will you damage my frames or brickwork?

We use non-destructive securing wherever possible, selecting fixings and methods to protect your property. If structural damage or instability requires alternative fixings, we’ll explain the reasons before we proceed.

What materials do you use for boarding up?

We use trade-grade OSB and plywood, typically 11–18 mm. We select thickness based on the opening size, risk level and exposure. Anti-tamper fixings are standard so boards can’t be easily removed from outside.

Can you secure a shopfront with very large glass?

Yes. We provide shopfront boarding with additional bracing and safe working practices for larger panes. We coordinate with shutters and roller doors, and can attend out-of-hours to minimise disruption.

Can you help with insurance paperwork?

Yes. We provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a brief work statement. Keep any police reference number—insurers often ask for it. For details, see our insurance support.

Do you install temporary steel doors or security screens?

Where appropriate. For break-ins, voids or higher-risk properties, we can install temporary steel doors and steel security screens using anti-tamper fixings to provide robust, medium-term protection.
