Emergency Boarding Up in Addlestone
boarding up Addlestone is available 24/7 from a local, experienced team who know the KT15 area and the surrounding neighbourhoods.

When You Need This
- After a burglary or forced entry where doors or frames are damaged.
- Smashed windows on Addlestone High Street or at homes in the Elmbridge Drive area.
- Storm or impact damage to skylights, flat roofs or shopfront glazing.
- Vacant or void properties that need medium-term protection.
- Accidental vehicular impact to a shopfront on Station Road or near Addlestone railway station.
Common scenarios in Addlestone (KT15) include broken shop windows on the high street, damaged rear doors on terraced houses around Whiteley Village lanes, and storm-damaged conservatory glazing on suburban estates.
How We Secure Your Property
We use non-destructive methods wherever possible and choose materials and fixings to match the risk, visibility and insurer requirements.
- Survey & assessment: quick site check to confirm scope and safe access — we watch for unstable frames, glass hazards and electrical risks.
- Materials we commonly use:
- Exterior-grade plywood or OSB for windows and panels (12mm for windows, 18mm for larger openings and doors).
- Anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
- Temporary steel doors and Sitex-style security screens for higher-risk commercial frontage.
- Weatherproof tape, sealant and temporary coverings for exposed skylights and roof edges.
- Standard secure-fit steps:
- Clear loose glass and make the area safe.
- Fit timber or OSB boarding with appropriate fixings using a non-destructive approach where the frame allows.
- Install temporary steel doors or security screens if requested or required by the insurer.
- Take time-stamped photos and produce an itemised invoice and short work statement for claims.
- Non-destructive principle: we avoid cutting or altering frames unless necessary. Exceptions include badly distorted frames after impact or where remaining structure is unsafe — if so, we explain the reason and next steps before work proceeds.
