How We Secure Your Property

Our goal is to board up and secure with minimal disruption and maximum safety.

Assessment and safety: We check for hazards (loose glass, damaged frames, electrics after leaks) and cordon as needed.
Materials matched to risk:
- Exterior-grade plywood or OSB boarding in appropriate thickness (commonly 11–18 mm depending on span and risk).
- Anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
Non-destructive securing wherever possible:
- We fix to existing structural points or use internal bracing methods to avoid damage to frames.
- Exception: where frames are severely split, missing, or structurally unsafe, we may have to screw into solid masonry or timber to ensure safety. We’ll explain and agree this on site.
Doors and access:
- Temporary secure door options where door leaves or frames are compromised.
- We can fit temporary steel doors for higher-risk or longer-term needs.
Roofs and skylights:
- Safe access using ladders or towers as required, with temporary weatherproofing (membranes/tarpaulins) and OSB/plywood boarding.
Insurer-friendly documentation:
- Time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple statement of work.
- Keep any police reference number from your report for your claim.

If you’ll require glazing after boarding, we can coordinate board-and-make-safe and liaise with your chosen glazier or contractor for follow-on works.
