How We Secure Your Property

Our approach prioritises safety, protection of your premises and non-destructive securing wherever possible.

• Initial assessment

  • We assess damage to frames, glass and surrounding structure.
  • We identify non-destructive fixing points to preserve doors and window frames, unless structural damage requires otherwise.

• Materials that last the night (and longer)

  • Robust plywood or OSB boarding (typically 11–18 mm depending on opening size and risk), cut to fit.
  • Anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
  • Edge protection and packers used to avoid damaging frames where viable.

• Doors and access points

  • For compromised entrances or kick-ins, we can fit a temporary secure door to maintain controlled access.
  • We ensure clear, secure locking or coded access where required.

• Roof and skylight boarding

  • Where safe access is available (ladders or towers as needed), we provide temporary weatherproofing and boarding to protect interiors.
  • We can liaise with your roofer or contractor to coordinate follow-up works.

• Insurer-friendly documentation

  • Time-stamped photos of damage and our make-safe securing.
  • An itemised invoice and simple statement of work, suitable for most insurers. Keep any police reference number for your claim.

Our technicians are DBS-checked and we hold public liability insurance. We work tidily, remove accessible loose glass where safe, and leave the property secure, with clear instructions for next steps.
