How We Secure Your Property
Our goal is to board up and secure Putney Heath properties quickly and carefully, preserving future repair options.
- Survey and make safe: We assess glass hazards, cordon off as necessary and clear loose shards.
- Non-destructive securing: Wherever possible, we fix boards to existing frames using methods designed to protect the structure. In rare cases of severe structural damage, fixing into masonry may be necessary for safety; we’ll explain why and get your agreement before proceeding.
- Materials matched to risk and size:
- Plywood or OSB boarding, typically 11–18 mm depending on opening size, height, and exposure
- Anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside
- Temporary access solutions:
- Temporary steel doors where a door set is compromised
- Steel security screens (Sitex-style) for vacant property boarding requiring medium-term protection
- Weatherproofing: For roof lights and storm-damaged openings, we combine OSB/plywood with membranes or tarps to keep rain out until permanent repairs.
- Insurer-friendly documentation: Time-stamped photos before and after, itemised invoice and a brief work statement. Keep any police reference number with your records.
If glazing replacement is required, we can coordinate a board-and-glaze sequence with trusted partners so you remain secure until new glass is fitted.

FAQs for Putney Heath
How fast can you get to Putney Heath at night?
We operate 24/7 with mobile coverage across SW postcodes, including SW15. We don’t quote hard ETAs, but we dispatch immediately and keep you updated until we arrive.
Will boarding up damage my window frames?
We use non-destructive securing wherever possible. We select fixings and methods to protect frames; only in rare cases of structural compromise will we need to fix into masonry for safety, and we’ll discuss this with you first.
What thickness boards do you use?
Typically 11–18 mm plywood or OSB, depending on the opening size, height, and risk. Heavier boards and additional bracing are used for large shopfronts or exposed positions.
Can you secure a kicked-in door?
Yes. We can board the door opening or fit a temporary steel door to maintain controlled access while the door set is replaced. See our door boarding up service.
Is boarding up covered by insurance?
Many policies cover emergency securing after insured events like burglary or storm damage, but every policy differs. We provide insurer-ready paperwork including photos, an itemised invoice, and a brief work statement. More details are on our insurance support page.
Do you cover neighbouring areas?
Yes. Alongside Putney Heath, we cover Putney, Roehampton, Southfields and Wandsworth Town, and the wider SW region.
