How We Secure Your Property
Our proven, insurer-friendly process:
-
Make-safe assessment
- We assess the damage, check frames and surrounding structures, and plan a non-destructive securing method where feasible. If there is structural risk (e.g., severe impact or fire-damaged lintels), we explain the limitation and the safe alternative.
-
Materials and fixings
- We carry multiple sheet options: plywood and OSB boarding in appropriate thicknesses for doors, windows and shopfronts. For higher-risk sites, we can install temporary steel doors or steel security screens.
- Anti-tamper fixings are standard, designed so boards can’t be easily removed from the outside.
-
Careful installation
- Clean-up of loose glass and debris for safety.
- Boards cut to size, fitted flush and secured to deter intrusion and resist weather.
- We aim to avoid damaging frames; where that’s not possible (e.g., failed frame or emergency structural bracing needed), we’ll advise and gain your approval.
-
Optional follow-on support
- We can liaise with your glazier/roofer or provide board-and-hold until permanent glazing or doors are fitted.
- For vacant property security, we can discuss medium-term steel security screens and access management.
-
Insurer-ready paperwork
- Time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a brief work statement. Keep any crime reference number and take your own photos too if safe to do so.
