How We Secure Your Property
Your safety comes first. Our non-destructive securing approach means we preserve frames and finishes wherever possible. In rare cases where structural damage is present, we’ll explain the options clearly before we proceed.
- Assessment and safety: We assess the opening and sweep up glass and debris to make the area safe, including public pavements near busy spots like Victoria Station.
- Materials and thickness: We use exterior-grade plywood or OSB boarding suitable for doors, windows and shopfronts. For most doors and larger windows, 11–18mm thickness is typical; we’ll specify on site based on span and risk.
- Anti-tamper fixings: We use anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside. For delicate frames, we can screw into timber packers or use through-bolt methods that avoid damaging the frame.
- Temporary steel doors and screens: For high-risk or vacant properties, we can install temporary steel doors and steel security screens (Sitex-style/anti-vandal) to control access and deter intruders.
- Weatherproofing: For exposed openings, we add weatherproofing measures and sealing to keep rain out—especially important on windy corners along Buckingham Palace Road.
- Non-destructive principle: We anchor to surrounding structure where possible, not fragile frame edges, to avoid further damage. We’ll explain any exceptions if structure is weakened or unsafe.
We can also coordinate board & glaze with our trusted glazing partners if you need fast temporary boarding followed by glass replacement.

Micro Case Studies in Victoria
- Shopfront on Wilton Road (SW1V): A café suffered a smashed display window late evening. We installed 18mm OSB with anti-tamper fixings, created a neat weatherproof seal and provided insurer photos. The client reopened safely the next morning with clear signage on the boarded area.
- Flat near Warwick Way (SW1V): After a break-in damaged a timber door, we temporarily secured with robust plywood boarding and later fitted a temporary steel door for controlled access while the joiner prepared a new door set. The resident felt safe and had all documents for their insurer.
- Office near Bressenden Place (SW1E): Wind-driven debris cracked curtain-wall glazing; security asked for immediate make-safe. We cordoned the pavement, boarded the panel from inside to protect the frame, and coordinated with the building’s FM for follow-up glazing.
