Rapid, local help in Southfields (SW18, SW19)

Southfields sits between Wandsworth, Earlsfield and Wimbledon with key hotspots like Southfields Station (District line), Wimbledon Park, and King George’s Park. We regularly support residents and businesses along Replingham Road, Wimbledon Park Road, Merton Road and around Augustus Road, as well as side streets off Standen Road and Pirbright Road. Our mobile technicians cover the whole of SW18 and SW19 and nearby areas including Earlsfield, Wandsworth Town, Wimbledon and Putney.

We’re equipped for residential flats over shops, terraced homes, period properties and commercial premises on Southfields’ high streets. From single panes to large shopfronts, we secure with robust materials and anti-tamper fixings designed to resist removal from the outside.

When You Might Need Emergency Boarding Up in Southfields

If any of the following apply, our 24/7 boarding up Southfields service is designed for you:

Burglary or attempted break-in: doors kicked-in, frames split, or windows forced. We can fit a temporary secure door or board and brace safely.
Smashed or cracked glazing: accidental breakage, vandalism, or impact on windows, doors or shopfronts.
Storm damage boarding: high winds or debris damaging glazing, skylights or roof lights; temporary weatherproofing available.
Fire damage: securing empty or compromised openings after the fire service has left; we can install temporary steel doors or security screens where needed.
Flood/water ingress: swollen frames that won’t close, or compromised locks requiring temporary securing.
Vacant property boarding: short-to-medium-term void security with anti-tamper fixings and optional steel security screens.

If you’re unsure what you need, we’ll walk you through the best approach over the phone and on site. We prioritise non-destructive securing wherever possible, only drilling or cutting when structural issues or safety require it.

How We Secure Your Property

Our method is safe, tidy and insurer-friendly. During an emergency board up Southfields callout, we typically:

Assess and make safe
- Check for glass shards, unsafe frames or structural hazards.
- Establish a safe working area (especially important on busy streets like Replingham Road or near Southfields Station).
Choose the right material
- Plywood or OSB boarding (typically 11–18mm, thicker for larger spans or high-risk sites).
- Weather-resistant options if exposure is a concern (e.g., facing Wimbledon Park or open corners).
Install with anti-tamper fixings
- Fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
- Non-destructive securing wherever possible (using existing reveals and structural points). If frames are too damaged, we’ll explain the minimal drilling required and keep it neat.
Temporary doors and screens (when needed)
- Temporary steel doors to secure a broken entry while maintaining controlled access for you or your contractors.
- Steel security screens for vacant or high-risk sites, including Sitex-style anti-vandal options.
Insurer-ready documentation
- Time-stamped photos (before/after), an itemised invoice and a brief statement of work. Keep any police reference number you’re given.

We also coordinate “board & glaze” with glazing partners where you want boarding now and planned replacement glass next. For roof lights or skylights, we can liaise with your roofer for safe access and temporary weatherproofing.

Mini Case Studies in Southfields

Shopfront impact on Replingham Road, SW18 A delivery trolley shattered a lower shopfront pane outside opening hours. We set up a safe working area, removed loose shards, and installed 18mm OSB with anti-tamper fixings around the frame, keeping the doorway clear. The owner used our photos and invoice to support their insurer. Temporary glazing followed the next day.
Flat window smash near Southfields Station, SW19 A first-floor flat had a cracked sash after accidental impact. We completed a non-destructive board-up using 12mm plywood and internal bracing that avoided damage to the sash box. The tenant appreciated the quick, tidy work and received insurer-ready documentation within the hour.
Back door kick-in off Wimbledon Park Road, SW19 After an attempted burglary, the timber frame split. We installed a temporary steel door into the existing reveal, allowing secure access for the family and trades. We returned 48 hours later to swap for a permanent replacement door arranged by their carpenter.
