When You Need This
Temporary fencing is the quickest way to create a safe, secure boundary when a door, window, wall, or external fence has been compromised. It’s also essential for crowd control and hazard management after an incident. Common scenarios include:
- Burglary or vandalism where boundary fencing has been cut or gates forced
- Shopfront impact, vehicle strike, or accidental damage requiring a safety cordon
- Storm damage boarding where fallen trees or debris have smashed panels or created hazards
- Fire or flood incidents where you must secure an unsafe perimeter while remediation starts
- Vacant/void property security to deter trespass and fly-tipping
- Facilities and estate management: short-term works, controlled access or event queuing lanes
We support homeowners, landlords, shop owners and property/facility managers with rapid, compliant solutions. As part of our emergency securing service, temporary fencing can be deployed alongside window and door boarding to fully secure your property. If you need combined make-safe works, see our 24/7 emergency response and call 020 4538 6452.

How We Secure Your Property
We focus on fast deployment, non-destructive securing wherever possible, and robust materials suited to the situation. Our typical approach:
- Rapid assessment and plan
- We assess the risk: public safety, trip hazards, sharp edges, visibility, and access needs.
- We identify underground services, ground type, and any structural concerns before installing.
- We agree clear access points with you (and emergency services if present).
- Materials we use
- Temporary mesh panels (standard 3.5m x 2m): galvanised anti-climb mesh with couplers
- Heavy-duty Heras-style panels: ideal for construction-style perimeter control
- Pedestrian barriers: for queue and walkway control in commercial areas
- Stabilisation: rubber block feet, anti-lift couplers, and ballast for wind loading
- Bracing: fence braces, backstays, and sandbag or water ballast for exposed locations
- Gates: temporary gate panels with lockable chains/padlocks or proprietary gate locks
- Hoarding infill (where privacy needed): OSB/plywood sheets affixed to panels to block sightlines
- Signage: basic “No Entry”, “Keep Out” or hazard markers where appropriate
- Fixings and anti-tamper options
- Heavy-duty couplers tightened to manufacturer torque; anti-tamper couplers available on request
- Chain and lock solutions for gates; we can supply keyed-alike padlocks if needed
- Ground pins or weighted feet based on the surface (we avoid ground penetration unless agreed)
- Non-destructive principle
- We prioritise non-destructive securing—using weighted bases and braces rather than drilling/bolting into substrates. Exceptions may include structurally unsafe sites or severe wind exposure, where additional anchoring is necessary for safety. We will always explain options and obtain your approval before using invasive fixings.
- Integration with boarding up
- Where perimeter security is compromised alongside broken glazing or doors, we install fencing while our team completes emergency window boarding and door boarding up. This provides layered security: board up and secure inside; fence and cordon outside.
- Documentation for insurers
- Time-stamped photos (before/after)
- Itemised invoice (materials, labour, access equipment)
- Brief statement of works Keep any police reference number if a crime was reported. For more details, see our insurance support.

FAQs
How fast can you install temporary fencing?
We provide 24/7 coverage across South West London and dispatch efficiently. Exact arrival times depend on location and traffic, but we prioritise emergency securing and keep you updated throughout.
Do you drill into the ground or walls?
Wherever possible, no. We use weighted feet, braces, and ballast to avoid damage. If structural safety or wind exposure requires anchoring, we’ll explain why and get your approval first.
Is temporary fencing suitable after a break-in?
Yes. It helps control access and protect a damaged perimeter while we complete post-burglary securing. Pair it with post-burglary boarding up for doors and windows.
Can you provide anti-tamper fixings?
Yes. We can use anti-tamper couplers and lockable gates. We also offer keyed-alike padlocks for managed access.

As long as you need. We can provide short-term emergency setups or medium-term solutions for vacant properties. We’ll advise on bracing and ballast appropriate for duration and exposure.
Will my insurer cover this?
Policies vary. We provide insurer-ready paperwork—time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a short statement of works. See our insurance support, and keep your police reference number if applicable.
