How We Secure Your Property
We focus on non-destructive securing wherever possible. Our priority is to protect the opening without causing further damage, while meeting insurer expectations for safety and security.
-
Assessment and safety first
- We assess the damage, check for hazards like loose glass, and make the area safe.
- For serious structural issues (e.g., vehicular impact or fire-damaged frames), we’ll explain any necessary exceptions to non-destructive methods and agree the safest approach.
-
Professional boarding materials
- We use trade-grade plywood or OSB boarding, typically 11–18 mm depending on opening size and risk.
- Fixings include anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
-
Windows and doors
- Windows: measured, cut-to-fit panels secured to sound substrate with protective packers to avoid frame damage.
- Doors: door boarding up to secure failed leaves or frames; where needed, we can fit a temporary secure door to maintain controlled access.
-
Shopfronts and commercial premises
- Large panes, toughened glass and roller shutters handled safely.
- Clear signage of temporary hazards; swept and tidied frontage for safe customer access once secure.
-
Roofs and skylights
- Safe access planning (ladders/towers as appropriate), OSB/plywood boarding and temporary weatherproofing.
- We can liaise with your roofer or glazier for follow-up works.
-
Insurer-ready paperwork
- Time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement.
- We’ll remind you to keep any police reference number if a crime reference was issued.
If you need follow-on glazing, we can coordinate “board & glaze” through trusted partners so the property stays secure until replacement glass is installed.

Micro Case Studies in and around New Malden (SW20)
-
Late-night smashed lounge window near New Malden Station
- A ground-floor sash window was smashed on a side street off Coombe Road. We performed emergency window boarding with 18 mm OSB and anti-tamper fixings, documented the damage and provided an insurer-ready invoice. The client arranged glazing the next day with our “board & glaze” partner.
-
Shopfront boarding on Burlington Road retail stretch
- A retail unit suffered a cracked toughened pane after accidental impact. We installed a full-height plywood board with perimeter sealing to protect stock from weather and arranged out-of-hours access so the shop could trade safely the following morning.
-
Storm damage to a skylight near Beverley Park
- High winds displaced a skylight cover on a terraced property. We installed temporary weatherproofing and OSB boarding, liaised with the homeowner’s roofer, and left a neat, secure finish until permanent repairs were completed.

FAQs
How fast can you get to New Malden for emergency boarding up?
We provide 24/7 boarding up in South West London with efficient mobile coverage across SW20. We prioritise urgent call-outs and dispatch the nearest available technician.
Will boarding up damage my frames or brickwork?
We use non-destructive securing wherever possible, using packers and anti-tamper fixings to protect frames. If structural damage means fixings must go into masonry or additional bracing is required, we’ll explain why before we proceed.
What materials do you use?
Typically 11–18 mm plywood or OSB, chosen based on opening size, exposure and risk level. We also offer temporary steel doors or steel security screens where higher security is required.
Can you help with insurance claims?
Yes. We provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a brief statement of works. You should keep any police reference number if the incident involved a crime.
Do you board up shopfronts out of hours?
Yes. Our out-of-hours boarding up includes retail boarding up and commercial boarding up. We handle large panes and coordinate around shutters and roller doors.
How long does it take to board up a property?
Most single openings can be secured in a single visit, typically in under an hour once on site. Complex or high-access jobs (shopfronts, roofs) can take longer. We’ll advise on arrival.
