How We Secure Your Property
Our goal is non-destructive securing wherever possible. That means we protect frames and finishes and avoid drilling into vulnerable edges unless there’s structural damage that makes alternatives unsafe.
What we use and how:
- Materials: Exterior-grade plywood or OSB boarding (typically 11–18mm depending on span, risk and insurer guidance).
- Fixings: Anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
- Bracing: Internal bracing or through-bolting where needed to avoid stressing damaged frames.
- Temporary steel doors: When a main door is unusable, we can fit a temporary secure door with robust locks to maintain safe access.
- Steel security screens: For vacant or repeatedly targeted properties, we can install anti-vandal security screens for medium-term protection.
- Weatherproofing: For roof and skylight issues, we combine OSB/plywood boarding with membranes or tarping for temporary weatherproofing.
Neat, insurer-friendly finish:
- Clear, square boarding that covers the full opening and overlaps the frame.
- Safety-first clean-up of glass shards and debris.
- Time-stamped photos before and after, itemised invoice and a simple work statement for your insurer.
