How We Secure Your Property
Our priority is fast, safe, non-destructive securing wherever possible. We aim to protect your frames and finishes so permanent repairs are simpler.
- Assessment and make-safe: We assess glazing, frames and surrounds; clear loose shards and create a safe working area. Where glass is present, we tidy visible debris for safety.
- Materials: We use structural plywood or OSB boarding (commonly 11–18 mm, selected to suit the span and risk). Outdoor-rated panels are used for external exposures.
- Fixings: Anti-tamper fixings are used so boards cannot be easily removed from outside. Where appropriate, we use internal bracing or existing frame fixings to minimise marks.
- Non-destructive methods: Wherever possible, we secure to existing reveals or internal structure without drilling visible facades. Exceptions include significant structural damage or rotten frames where additional anchoring is essential for safety; we will explain any exceptions before work proceeds.
- Doors and access: For doors that cannot be re-secured, we can fit a temporary steel door to maintain secure access while you await permanent repairs. These can be keyed for authorised users.
- Steel security screens: For void or vulnerable properties, we offer steel security screens with anti-tamper fixings for medium-term protection, including window screens and steel doors.
- Weatherproofing: Where glazing is exposed to the elements—such as skylights or roof windows—we combine OSB/plywood boarding with membranes or tape seals to keep rain out until permanent works.
We document works with time-stamped photos and provide an itemised invoice and simple work statement—useful for insurers and property managers.
