How We Secure Your Property
Our approach is calm, methodical and focused on safety first.
- Initial assessment and make-safe
- We assess glass, frames and any structural concerns; we create a safe working zone and clear loose shards.
- Where electrics, water or structural risk is suspected, we advise pausing until the relevant trade makes it safe.
- Materials chosen for strength and fit
- Plywood or OSB boarding is selected to suit the opening size and risk level. Typical thicknesses are 11–18 mm for most doors and windows; larger spans may require thicker boards and bracing.
- For weather-exposed openings (e.g., skylights/roof lights), we combine OSB/plywood with temporary weatherproofing to keep the elements out.
- Secure, anti-tamper fixings
- We use anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside. Where frames allow, we use a non-destructive method that preserves the existing fabric of the property wherever possible.
- If frames are severely damaged or unsafe, we’ll explain the exception clearly and agree the least invasive secure method.
- Temporary doors and steel security
- For compromised entrances, we can fit a temporary secure door with robust locks to maintain access and security.
- For medium-term protection of vacant or high-risk sites, we can provide steel security screens.
- Insurer-ready documentation
- We take time-stamped photos, provide an itemised invoice and a simple work statement. Keep any police reference number associated with the incident for your insurer.
Non-destructive securing wherever possible
- Our priority is to protect your property without causing further harm. We choose fixing points carefully, and when we must drill into masonry or frames due to severe damage, we explain why and keep it minimal.

Micro Case Studies in Roehampton Vale
-
Late-night break-in near Kingston University (SW15) A tenant returned to find a kitchen window prised open. We attended late evening, performed emergency window boarding with 18 mm OSB and anti-tamper fixings, then fitted a temporary secure door panel to the garden entrance disturbed in the process. Photos and an insurer-ready statement were sent by morning.
-
Shopfront glass failure on Kingston Road (SW15) A convenience store had a large pane crack and slump after a minor impact. We set a safe cordon, removed loose shards, and installed braced plywood boarding spanning mullion to mullion. The manager received time-stamped photos and an itemised invoice for insurance; a glazier met them the next day.
-
Storm-damaged skylight off Roehampton Lane (SW15) High winds dislodged a small rooflight over a stairwell. We combined OSB boarding with a temporary weatherproof layer, secured into sound structure with anti-tamper fixings, and liaised with the homeowner’s roofer for follow-up. The interior remained dry through the next day’s showers.
