How We Secure Your Property
Our method is designed to be non-destructive wherever possible. That means we aim to protect existing frames and finishes while restoring immediate security.
- Make-safe assessment
- We assess glass hazards, loose frames and any structural concerns.
- We plan access—ladders or a small tower where required—so we can work safely and efficiently.
- Materials and fixings
- We use trade-grade plywood or OSB boarding (commonly 11–18 mm thick depending on the size, risk and location).
- Anti-tamper fixings are used so boards can’t be easily removed from the outside.
- Where suitable, we mount boards internally to avoid external screw points and to support non-destructive securing.
- For larger shop windows or high-risk areas, we can fit temporary steel doors or steel security screens to deter intrusion.
- Non-destructive approach
- We avoid drilling or cutting into frames unless there is significant structural damage or insurer/engineer instructions require it.
- If frames are severely damaged, we’ll explain the options clearly and agree the least invasive approach that still provides proper security.
- Weatherproofing and access
- Storm or roof issues: we combine OSB/plywood boarding with temporary weatherproofing (membranes or tarps) where appropriate.
- If you need to keep using a doorway, we can install a temporary secure door, keeping access for residents or trades.
- Insurer-friendly documentation
- Time-stamped photos before and after
- A simple statement of works
- Itemised invoice noting locations and materials
- We recommend you keep any police crime reference number if you’re claiming for burglary or vandalism.
If you also need glazing, we can coordinate “board & glaze” with trusted partners—boarding immediately and helping you organise follow-on glazing at a time that suits.
