How We Secure Your Property
We focus on non-destructive securing wherever possible. Our method is designed to protect your frames and fabric while leaving a robust, tamper-resistant barrier.
- Assessment and safety: We begin with a quick risk assessment, isolating any hazards and clearing loose glass.
- Accurate sizing: We measure the opening for a snug fit that resists levering and weather ingress.
- Materials: We carry OSB and exterior-grade plywood in common thicknesses (typically 11–18 mm). We’ll recommend the most suitable option for your opening, exposure and duration.
- Anti-tamper fixings: We use anti-tamper fixings that can’t be removed easily from the outside, mounted with internal retaining battens wherever practical.
- Doors and frames: For compromised or kicked-in doors, we can board the door leaf and/or frame. Where appropriate, we can supply a temporary steel door to provide secure, usable access until a permanent replacement is arranged.
- Shopfronts and larger spans: We brace larger panes with additional studwork for rigidity, keeping load off fragile frames.
- Roof and skylight protection: For skylights or roof apertures, we’ll board and seal, adding temporary weatherproofing to reduce water ingress.
- Non-destructive principle: We preserve frames and hardware wherever feasible. If structural damage prevents a non-destructive fix (e.g., split timber or twisted aluminium), we’ll explain your options clearly before proceeding.
Need glass replaced later? We can coordinate with glazing partners (board & glaze), keeping you secure until re-glazing is completed.

Micro Case Studies in Clapham Park
- Break-in on Kings Avenue (SW2): A ground-floor flat was targeted late evening. We cleared broken toughened glass, fitted 18 mm plywood with internal battens and anti-tamper fixings, and issued insurer photos and a work statement. The client arranged re-glazing the next day.
- Smashed shop window on Brixton Hill (SW2): Overnight impact left a large pane unsafe. We braced the opening with OSB and timber framing, keeping the roller shutter usable. The business reopened in the morning with safe temporary protection.
- Kicked-in front door near Clapham South (SW12): We boarded the door leaf, reinforced the frame and installed a temporary steel door so the family had secure access over the weekend until their joiner attended.

FAQs
How fast can you get to Clapham Park at night?
We operate 24/7 with mobile coverage across SW2 and SW12. We don’t quote hard ETAs, but we dispatch immediately and keep you updated until the technician arrives.
Will you damage my window frames when boarding up?
Our non-destructive securing approach avoids damage wherever possible, using internal battens and anti-tamper fixings. If frames are already split or distorted, we’ll explain options before proceeding.
What thickness boards do you use?
Typically 11–18 mm OSB or exterior-grade plywood, selected based on opening size, location, exposure and duration of boarding. Larger shopfronts may require added bracing.
Can you secure a kicked-in door so I can still get in and out?
Yes. We can install a temporary steel door that provides secure, usable access until a permanent replacement is fitted. We’ll advise on the best option on site.
Is boarding up covered by insurance?
Many policies cover emergency securing after insured events like burglary or storm damage. We provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement to support your claim. Keep your police reference number if applicable.
What should I do if my shop window is smashed?
Keep people away from glass, call us, and if you have shutters, do not operate them until we assess. We’ll make the area safe, board up, and coordinate with glaziers if needed.
