How We Secure Your Property
Our method is practical, insurer-friendly and designed to protect your frames and fabric of the building.
- Assessment and safety: We assess glass, frames and surrounding hazards. We’ll cordon the area if needed and clear loose shards.
- Non-destructive securing: Wherever possible, we fix from the inside to avoid visible external screws. We use anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
- Materials matched to risk: We typically use structural plywood or OSB, cut to size. Thickness is selected to suit the opening size and risk (commonly 11–18 mm).
- Doors and frames: For forced or kicked-in doors, we can board securely or fit a temporary steel door to provide controlled access for residents or staff while permanent repairs are arranged.
- Weatherproofing: For storm or roof-related issues, we combine OSB/plywood boarding with temporary coverings to reduce water ingress until specialist repairs are completed.
- Proof for insurers: We take time-stamped photos of damage and the completed make-safe, and provide a simple work statement and itemised invoice. Keep any police reference number if issued.
- Exceptions explained: If a frame is split or the structure is compromised, we may need to use alternative fixing points or temporary supports. We’ll explain options on site before proceeding.
