When You Need Emergency Boarding Up in Wimbledon

Damage can happen at any time. Common reasons we’re called out in Wimbledon include:

Burglary or attempted break-in: post-burglary boarding up keeps you secure while locks, frames or glazing are assessed.
Smashed windows and doors: emergency window boarding or door boarding up prevents access and keeps the weather out.
Vandalism to shopfronts: commercial and retail boarding up for cracked plate glass or damaged shutters.
Storm damage: high winds or debris can break glazing and skylights; our storm damage boarding restores safety.
Accidents and impacts: from a football through a window near Wimbledon Park to a vehicle nudging a shopfront on Wimbledon Hill Road, we’ll stabilise and secure.

How We Secure Your Property

Our goal is to board up and secure your property swiftly, safely and with minimal disruption.

Non-destructive first: Wherever possible, we use existing frames and openings without drilling into undamaged substrates. Exceptions include structural compromise or missing fix points, where safe temporary fixings are necessary.
Materials matched to risk: We use exterior-grade plywood or OSB (typically 11–18 mm depending on opening size, risk level and insurer guidance). Edges are smoothed and panels are cut to fit.
Anti-tamper fixings: We use anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside, helping to deter unauthorised access.
Temporary secure doors: For compromised entrances, we can install a temporary steel door for controlled access, especially useful for shopfronts and communal entrances.
Weatherproofing: For rooflights, skylights or exposed elevations, we can add membranes, tape or battens to improve temporary weather resistance.
Clean and safe: We clear immediate glass hazards, vacuum shards where feasible and leave access routes tidy.
Insurer-ready documentation: Time-stamped photos, itemised invoice and a short statement of works provided. Keep any police reference number if applicable.

If glazing replacement is required, we can coordinate with emergency glaziers or your preferred contractor while our boards keep you secure.

Wimbledon Case Studies

Smashed flat window near The Broadway (SW19): Late evening accidental breakage in a second-floor flat. We completed emergency window boarding using 12 mm OSB with anti-tamper fixings via existing frame points to avoid damage. Provided photos and invoice for the tenant’s insurer.
Shopfront impact on Wimbledon Hill Road: A delivery trolley cracked a plate glass panel at closing time. We cleared glass safely, installed timber boarding and a temporary steel door panel for secure overnight access. Business reopened on time the next morning.
Storm-lifted skylight by Wimbledon Park: High winds dislodged a skylight panel. We installed boarded weatherproofing with taped membrane and liaised with the client’s roofer for follow-up replacement.
