How We Secure Your Property
Our approach balances speed, strength and care. Wherever possible, we use non-destructive securing so fixtures, frames and finishes are protected for future repairs.
-
Assessment and safety first
- We make a quick, safe plan on arrival and confirm any immediate hazards (glass shards, weak frames, electrics).
- We cordon the area if needed and tidy loose debris.
-
Robust materials matched to the opening
- We stock quality plywood and OSB boarding in common thicknesses (typically 11–18 mm) for windows, doors, shopfronts and skylights.
- Panels are measured, cut and fitted to suit your opening(s), reducing draughts and improving security.
-
Secure, anti-tamper fixings
- We use anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
- Fixing methods are chosen to avoid damage to frames wherever possible; through-frame options are used only when necessary for structural reasons.
-
Temporary doors and steel solutions when needed
- For forced entries or compromised door sets, we can fit a temporary secure door to control access.
- For vulnerable or vacant sites, we can install steel security screens for anti-vandal protection as a medium-term measure.
-
Weatherproofing and follow-on works
- We can add temporary weatherproofing for exposed openings, especially for roof & skylight boarding after storm damage.
- If you’re engaging your own glazier, builder or insurer’s contractor, we’ll board to their requirements and provide evidence photos.
If glazing is to follow, we can coordinate a board-up and later removal to suit your chosen trades. Our goal is to keep your options open and your property safe.

Micro Case Studies in Earlsfield (SW18)
-
Late-night flat window, near Earlsfield Station
A first-floor sash window was shattered by a stray object. We cleared loose glass, fitted OSB boarding with anti-tamper fixings, and provided photos and an itemised invoice for the insurer. The resident booked glazing the next day. -
Shopfront on Garratt Lane
After a small break-in attempt, a boutique had a cracked lower pane and damaged beading. We installed plywood boarding neatly across the affected section, secured the door with temporary reinforcing and ensured the business could trade safely the following morning. -
Terrace near Wandsworth Common
Wind damage dislodged a skylight pane. We used safe ladder access to board and weatherproof the opening, preventing water ingress overnight. The homeowner’s roofer attended the next day with our measurements on hand.
