When You Need Emergency Boarding Up in Brixton Hill

Damage can happen suddenly and leave your property exposed. Common reasons people call us for emergency boarding up in Brixton Hill include:

Burglary or attempted break-in: Forced or kicked-in doors, prised windows, or damaged frames.
Vandalism: Graffiti-related breakage, smashed panes near the nightlife spots, or antisocial damage on side streets.
Storm impact: High winds sending branches into skylights or windows near open green spaces like Brockwell Park.
Accidental breakage: Moving furniture, sports impacts, or delivery mishaps leading to broken glass.
Shopfront incidents: “Smash-and-grab” style damage to retail fronts on Brixton Hill and around Brixton High Street.

If you’re unsure whether you need a board-up or a glazier right away, call us. We can secure safely first, then, if needed, coordinate follow-up glazing. For urgent help, see our dedicated 24/7 emergency boarding up page.

How We Secure Your Property

We use a non-destructive securing approach wherever possible. That means we look for fixings that avoid damaging frames or brickwork and use reversible methods unless the structure is compromised.

Survey and make-safe: We assess risks, clear glass hazards, and agree the plan with you.
Materials: We typically use 11–18 mm plywood or OSB (Oriented Strand Board). Thickness depends on the opening size, security need, and height.
Anti-tamper fixings: We fit boards with anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
Doors and temporary access: For badly damaged doors, we can fit a temporary secure door or recommend temporary steel doors for higher risk or longer-term needs.
Shopfronts and large panes: We board oversized shopfront glazing safely, accommodating roller shutters and signage where present.
Roof and skylight protection: Where required, we can provide temporary weatherproofing and boarding for skylights and roof openings.
Insurer-friendly details: We take time-stamped photos and provide a simple work statement with an itemised invoice for your records.

If you’re dealing with storm or roof issues, read more about our roof & skylight boarding. For smashed windows at home, see our dedicated window boarding in South West London.

Brixton Hill Case Studies

Late-night smashed window near Brixton Hill and Acre Lane (SW2): We attended a top-floor flat with a cracked sash pane from accidental impact. Using OSB at an appropriate thickness, we secured the opening with anti-tamper fixings, avoiding damage to the frame. Photos and an itemised invoice were sent for insurance that same night.
Shopfront vandalism near Brixton High Street (SW2): A retail unit suffered a smashed lower pane during the evening. We cleared the glass safely, boarded the opening around existing roller shutter tracks, and ensured the shutter could still close. The owner later scheduled permanent glazing, using our photos and work statement for the claim.
Storm-blown skylight off New Park Road (SW2): High winds dislodged a small skylight panel. We installed temporary weatherproof boarding and liaised with the roofer to plan a safe follow-up replacement.
