How We Secure Your Property
We aim for non-destructive securing wherever possible. If frames and structures are sound, we avoid drilling into them; if there’s structural damage, we’ll explain the safest approach first.
- Assessment and safety: We assess glass hazards, frame condition and access. We can cordon off the area and clear loose shards to make the site safe.
- Materials: We use quality plywood or OSB boarding (typically 11–18 mm depending on span and risk). We’ll choose the thickness to suit opening size and exposure.
- Fixings: Anti-tamper fixings are used so boards can’t be easily removed from outside. Where suitable, we use internal bracing to avoid damage to frames.
- Windows: Emergency window boarding that covers the full opening with snug cuts, internal bracing where possible, and protective buffer to protect paintwork.
- Doors: For forced entries or kick-ins, we can board door sets securely or install a temporary steel door to maintain safe access while keeping the property secure.
- Shopfronts: Large panes and shop windows on Streatham High Road and Mitcham Lane are carefully measured and boarded to fascia lines; we can coordinate with shutters and roller doors.
- Roof and skylights: We provide temporary weatherproofing and OSB/plywood boarding for damaged skylights or roof lights, liaising with roofers if needed.
Documentation for insurance:
- Time-stamped photos (before and after)
- Simple statement of works
- Itemised invoice
Please keep any police reference number if you have one.
