How We Secure Your Property
Our approach is non-destructive wherever possible. We preserve frames and finishes while achieving robust, insurer-acceptable security.
What to expect:
-
Assessment and safety check
- We establish any risks (loose glass, structural movement, overhead hazards) and create a safe working area. Where needed, we cordon off the immediate space and clear glazing fragments.
-
Measure and prepare materials
- We use trade-grade plywood or OSB boarding, typically 11–18 mm depending on opening size and risk. OSB or plywood boarding is cut precisely to fit the opening and avoid unnecessary damage to frames.
-
Secure fixings
- We use anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside. Where sensible, we use existing frame points. If frames are compromised, we fix to the structural reveal to avoid further damage and ensure strength.
-
Doors and shopfronts
- For compromised doors, we can fit a temporary secure door to maintain safe access and lockable security. On shopfronts, we account for roller shutters and signage, and can liaise with your shutter contractor.
-
Weatherproofing and finishing
- We can add temporary sealing, tarps or overlays to help keep out weather, particularly valuable around exposed corners of Kingston Hill and Robin Hood Way.
-
Evidence for insurers
- We provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement describing the incident context and our make-safe works. Please retain any police reference number you receive.
Exceptions to non-destructive securing:
- Where frames are shattered, charred or structurally unsound.
- After significant impact (e.g., vehicle strike) where we must fix to the masonry reveal for safety.
- Upper-floor or roof access requiring towers or specialist access may require additional temporary fixings.
If glazing replacement is required, we can coordinate a board-up and liaise with your chosen glazier or contractor to keep works moving.

Micro Case Studies in Kingston Vale (SW15)
-
Smashed patio door near Kingston Hill: Following a late-evening break-in attempt, we secured a glazed door set with OSB boarding and anti-tamper fixings, added a temporary secure door leaf for safe access, and photographed before-and-after for the client’s insurer. The landlord received the invoice and statement the same night.
-
Shopfront impact at Kingston Vale Parade: A morning delivery incident cracked a large pane. We cleared loose glass, boarded the opening to the shutter line, coordinated with the shutter contractor, and ensured a neat finish so the shop could trade safely until replacement glazing.
-
Storm-blown skylight off Robin Hood Way: High winds displaced a small skylight. We installed a weatherproof boarding solution with sealed perimeter, documented the works for the property manager, and liaised with their roofer for follow-up.
FAQs
How fast can you get to Kingston Vale?
We operate 24/7 with mobile teams covering SW15. We dispatch promptly and keep you updated on arrival, avoiding hard promises on exact minutes due to traffic and time of day.
Do you remove the boards when glazing is ready?
Yes. We can return to remove boards safely when your replacement glass or door is ready, or liaise with your chosen contractor so the handover is smooth.
Will boarding up damage my frames?
We prioritise non-destructive securing. We use existing fix points where safe. If frames are severely damaged, we may need to fix to the reveal for strength, and we’ll explain this before we proceed.
Can you help with insurance claims?
We’re not loss adjusters, but we provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a brief statement of works. Keep any police reference number you receive. See our insurance support for details.
Do you work with shops and commercial units?
Yes. We handle retail boarding, shutter coordination and can provide RAMS where required. For more, see our shopfront boarding.
What materials do you use?
Typically 11–18 mm OSB or plywood, chosen to suit the opening size and risk. We use anti-tamper fixings and can fit temporary steel doors or steel security screens for higher-risk or vacant properties.
