When You Need Emergency Boarding Up

Emergencies are stressful. Our job is to make them simpler, safer and secure without delay. Typical reasons to call us for 24/7 boarding up in Kingston include:

  • Burglary or attempted break-in
  • Vandalism or anti-social damage
  • Smashed shop window or door glass
  • Storm or wind damage to windows, doors, roofs or skylights
  • Accidental damage (ball strike, fallen object, vehicle impact)
  • Fire or flood where doors/windows won’t close or frames are swollen
  • Vacant property left unsecured

You might need same day boarding up late at night, first thing on a weekend, or during a bank holiday. We provide a reliable after-hours boarding up service across KT1–KT24, including Kingston upon Thames, Norbiton, Surbiton, New Malden, Tolworth, Chessington, Hampton Wick, Berrylands, Coombe, Long Ditton, Thames Ditton, and Worcester Park.

Quick emergency checklist

  • Is anyone hurt? If so, call 999.
  • If a crime has occurred, note the police reference number.
  • Keep people and pets away from glass debris and sharp edges.
  • For electrical or water risks (fire/flood), switch off power if safe to do so.
  • Call us for out-of-hours boarding up on 020 4572 1601.

Our Simple 3-Step Emergency Process

  1. Call and assess
    You call us and explain the damage. We’ll ask a few simple questions—what’s broken, the size of the opening, height (ground/upper floor), and any access constraints—so we can dispatch the right materials and fixings.

  2. Attend and make safe
    Our DBS-checked technicians arrive with plywood/OSB boards, anti-tamper fixings, towers/ladders as needed, and safety gear. We make the area safe, clear immediate hazards and secure openings.

  3. Document and handover
    Before and after photos are time-stamped. We provide an itemised invoice and a simple work statement suitable for insurers. Keep your police reference number with these documents.

How We Secure Your Property

Prompt, tidy and non-destructive wherever possible. That’s our approach.

  • Non-destructive securing
    Wherever we can, we secure boards to internal structures or existing fixings to avoid extra damage. If frames are intact, we typically use through-bolts or internal packers with anti-tamper head fixings that can’t be removed from outside. In rare cases—severe frame failure, structural compromise, or fire warp—some surface fixing may be unavoidable, and we’ll explain this clearly before proceeding.

  • Materials matched to the job
    We stock structural plywood and OSB in commonly required thicknesses (typically 11–18 mm), choosing the board type and thickness to suit the span, exposure and security requirement. Edges are trimmed to fit neatly, and external faces are flush and safe.

  • Anti-tamper fixings
    We use anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside. On vulnerable sites, we can add internal bracing to resist prying and impacts.

  • Temporary steel doors and security screens
    For compromised doorways or medium-term protection, we can fit temporary steel doors with robust locking and anti-jemmy features. Vacant or high-risk sites may benefit from steel security screens (often called Sitex-style or anti-vandal security screens) to deter re-entry and safeguard longer term.

  • Roof, skylight and weatherproofing
    For storm damage, we can board over skylights and roof openings and add temporary weatherproofing (membranes/tarping) until permanent repairs are carried out by your roofer.

  • Clean and safe
    We tidy debris in the immediate work area and remove hazards like loose shards. Larger clearances can be arranged if required.

  • Insurer-ready documentation
    We provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple statement of works so you can submit evidence quickly. If you plan to claim, keep your police reference number handy.

If you’re dealing with shattered glazing and plan to replace the glass next day, ask about a “board & glaze” arrangement—we can secure tonight and coordinate for prompt replacement with your chosen glazier.

FAQs

Do you really operate 24/7?

Yes. We offer 24/7 boarding up in Kingston and across KT. Call any time on 020 4572 1601.

Can you secure my property without causing extra damage?

Wherever possible, yes. We use non-destructive securing—internal packers, through-bolts and anti-tamper fixings. Only when frames are broken, charred or structurally unsafe might we need alternative fixing, and we’ll explain that first.

How long does it take to board up a property?

Many single openings are made safe within a short site visit. Larger shopfronts, high-level glazing, or multiple openings may take longer. We work efficiently and arrive with stocked materials so we can secure in one visit wherever possible.

Will you clean up broken glass?

We clear the immediate work area and remove loose shards and hazards as part of our make-safe service. For extensive debris or specialist clean-ups, we can advise on additional services.

Is boarding up covered by insurance?

It often is under “emergency make-safe” or “building damage” sections, but every policy differs. We can support you with insurer-ready paperwork—time-stamped photos, itemised invoice and a brief statement. For details, see our insurance support. We’re not loss adjusters or legal advisors.

Do you cover my area?

We cover Kingston upon Thames and the KT postcodes including Surbiton, Norbiton, New Malden, Tolworth, Chessington, Hampton Wick, Thames Ditton and beyond. See the full list under areas we cover.

Can you help with shops and commercial sites?

Yes—retail, hospitality and offices included. We handle wide shopfronts, roller shutters and coordinated out-of-hours work. If needed, we can fit temporary steel doors or steel security screens for added protection.

What materials do you use?

We carry OSB and plywood boards (typically 11–18 mm) and use anti-tamper fixings, plus towers/ladders for access. For compromised doorways or voids, we can install temporary steel doors or Sitex-style security screens.

Do you replace the glass?

We’re a boarding up and make-safe team. We can coordinate with your chosen glazier or contractor and provide “board & glaze” arrangements where practical, securing immediately and assisting with next-day glazing.

If you’re dealing with a broken window, kicked-in door, storm-damaged roof light or any emergency, call us now. We’ll secure your property quickly and provide the documentation you need.
