How We Secure Your Property

Our approach is efficient, tidy, and designed to protect your frames and fabric of the building wherever possible.

Make-safe assessment

We assess glass, frame and surrounding structure, remove loose shards, and establish a safe work area.
We take time-stamped photos for your records and any insurance claim.

Board selection and preparation

We use structural plywood or OSB boarding, typically 11–18 mm depending on opening size, exposure and risk.
Panels are cut to fit neatly and to maintain ventilation where appropriate.

Strong, anti-tamper fixings

We use anti-tamper fixings so boards can’t be easily removed from outside.
Wherever possible, we use non-destructive securing, protecting frames and brickwork. In rare cases (e.g., significant structural damage), additional fixings may be required for safety; we’ll explain clearly before proceeding.

Doors and commercial frontages

For compromised entrances, we can fit a temporary secure door or, for higher-risk or longer-term needs, temporary steel doors or steel security screens.
Shopfronts in busy areas like Upper Green West and Fair Green are secured with robust boarding that resists tampering and weather.

Finishing and handover

We tidy the site, removing broken glass and debris where safe to do so.
You receive insurer-ready paperwork: time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a simple statement of work. Keep any police reference number if the incident was reported.

If glazing replacement is required, we can board and liaise with your chosen glazier. Our priority is to secure you immediately and help you move forward with minimal disruption.

Micro Case Studies in Mitcham

Vandalism at a convenience store, London Road (SW17): We attended out of hours after a shop window was smashed. Installed 18 mm plywood with anti-tamper fixings across a wide opening, cleaned up glass safely, and provided photos and an itemised invoice for the insurer.
Residential break-in near Mitcham Eastfields (SW17): Front door frame was damaged from a kick-in. We installed a temporary secure door solution overnight and returned the next day to adjust boarding around the frame while the client organised replacement.
Storm damage by Figges Marsh (SW17): High winds broke a large first-floor sash. We used tower access for safe working, fitted OSB boarding sized to preserve ventilation, and liaised with the homeowner’s glazier for follow-up glazing.
