How We Secure Your Property
Our process is designed to be quick, tidy, and insurer-friendly, with a non-destructive approach wherever possible.
- Initial assessment and safety check
- We assess the damage, clear loose shards, and make sure the immediate area is safe to work around.
- We explain the plan, including fixings, material choice, and any access needs (ladders or towers for upper floors).
- Materials and fixings that last
- Plywood or OSB: Typically 11–18 mm thickness depending on the opening size and risk level.
- Anti-tamper fixings: Designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside, improving security.
- Edge protection and packing: We protect frames and finishes and avoid drilling into frames unless there’s structural damage that leaves no alternative.
- Non-destructive securing, wherever possible
- We aim to use existing structural points or masonry fixings to avoid damage to frames and sashes.
- Exceptions: If frames are split, burnt, or unsafe (common after forced entry or fire), we may need to fix into sound timber or masonry to ensure security and safety.
- Temporary steel doors and screens when needed
- For high-risk or longer-term needs, we can fit temporary steel doors for managed access and steel security screens (anti-vandal) for exposed openings.
- Insurer-ready documentation
- Time-stamped photos of the damage and our work.
- A simple, itemised invoice and a brief statement of works.
- Keep any police reference number if it’s a burglary or vandalism case.
If glazing is required, we can board-and-refer to glazing partners for follow-up, so you’re immediately secure while replacement glass is arranged.

Merton Park Micro Case Studies
-
Evening burglary near South Merton station (SW20): After an attempted rear-door break-in left a split frame and broken glazing, we installed non-destructive plywood boarding using anti-tamper fixings into surrounding masonry. Supplied photos and a brief statement for insurer; homeowner praised the tidy finish and quick turnaround.
-
Shopfront damage on Kingston Road (SW19): A low-level vandalism incident cracked a large pane after closing. We boarded the full opening with 18 mm OSB for rigidity, coordinated safe access around pedestrians, and left clear sight lines for CCTV. The retailer used our itemised invoice to progress their claim.
