How We Secure Your Property
Our goal is to board up and secure without further damage to your frames or fabric of the building. We use non-destructive securing wherever possible, with exceptions only when structural issues or severely broken frames require alternative methods.
What to expect:
-
Immediate safety check
- We cordon the area, clear loose glass and hazards, and check for electrics or structural concerns.
- We’ll advise if a temporary steel door or additional bracing is required for safety.
-
Precise measuring and material choice
- We typically use exterior-grade plywood or OSB, selected to suit the opening.
- Common thicknesses are in the 11–18 mm range, chosen for strength, span and fix point positions.
-
Secure, anti-tamper fixings
- We use anti-tamper fixings designed so they cannot be easily removed from outside.
- Where frame condition allows, we mount boards to solid substrates to avoid damaging decorative finishes.
-
Temporary doors and steel security screens (when needed)
- Where a door is unusable, we can fit a temporary secure door with a lockable system to maintain access.
- For higher-risk or longer-term protection (e.g., fire or void properties), we can install steel security screens.
-
Weatherproofing and tidy finish
- Edges are set for good coverage and weather-resistance.
- We tidy the site, remove loose shards where safe to do so, and leave clear access routes.
-
Insurer-ready paperwork
- Time-stamped photos before and after, a simple work statement and itemised invoice.
- Keep your police reference number if applicable; insurers often ask for it.
If you also need glazing, we can coordinate board-and-glaze through trusted partners or leave the opening board-secure while your chosen glazier schedules replacement.

Micro Case Studies in SW2
-
Late-night shopfront boarding, Streatham High Road: A retail unit suffered a smashed display pane after closing time. We attended out-of-hours, cleared glass safely, installed OSB with anti-tamper fixings across the full frontage and provided insurer photos and an itemised invoice. The store reopened the next morning behind secure boards until glazing arrived.
-
Post-burglary door securing, near Leigham Court Road: Following a forced back-door entry, we fitted a temporary secure door with a lockable system, preventing further access and allowing normal household routine. Non-destructive approach preserved the frame for later repair.
-
Storm-damaged skylight, near Tulse Hill Station: High winds fractured a small skylight on a top-floor flat. Using safe access equipment, we boarded and weather-proofed the opening, liaising with the resident’s roofer for final replacement.
