Emergency Boarding Up in Canbury
If you need boarding up Canbury immediately, we provide fast, professional boarding-up and emergency securing across Canbury (KT2) and the wider Kingston (KT) area. Our local team responds 24/7 to make properties safe after break-ins, vandalism, storm damage or accidental impact — keeping people and possessions protected until permanent repairs can be arranged.
When you need this
Common situations in Canbury where we secure properties quickly:
- Burglary or break-in: secure doors and windows after forced entry.
- Vandalism or smashed glass: shopfront glass boarding and debris clean-up.
- Storm or impact damage: blown-in windows, fallen branches or vehicular impact to a shopfront.
- Accidental breakage: window or skylight shattered by an impact.
- Vacant/void security: protecting empty flats or houses on Canbury Park Road or riverside properties.
We cover high-risk local spots including Canbury Gardens, Canbury Parade/Canbury Park Road, and locations near Kingston Bridge and Kingston railway station. If you’re on the high street near the riverside or close to Norbiton station and need same-day help, our mobile crews operate across KT2 and neighbouring areas such as Norbiton, Kingston town centre, Surbiton and New Malden.
How we secure your property
We follow a clear, insurer-friendly process that prioritises safety and minimising further damage.
- Rapid attendance and risk check
- We assess safety (broken glass, unstable frames, water ingress) and agree the best temporary secure option.
- Non-destructive boarding wherever possible
- Standard fix: exterior-grade plywood or OSB (typically 9–18mm depending on the opening and risk), fixed with anti-tamper fixings so panels cannot be easily removed from outside.
- We use rubber or neoprene pads around frames to avoid scratching and make removal straightforward for permanent repairs.
- Where stronger security is needed
- Temporary steel doors or Sitex-style security screens for commercial shopfronts and vacant ground-floor units.
- Steel security screens are used when repeated vandalism or long-term void security is required.
- Insurer-ready paperwork
- We provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement for claims.
- We’ll remind you to keep any police reference number if relevant.
Materials and standards we commonly use:
- Plywood/OSB: 9mm for small internal fixes up to 18mm for exposed ground-floor shopfronts.
- Fixings: anti-tamper screws and coach bolts; where possible we use fixings that are removable from inside only.
- Optional: temporary glazing (board & glaze) by partnering with trusted local glaziers for same-day board & glaze solutions.
We always try to avoid destructive work. If a frame is structurally unsound (for example after a heavy impact or fire), we’ll explain why a stronger or permanent intervention is necessary and agree the safest approach.

Micro case studies — local jobs in KT2
- Canbury Park Road shopfront (storm): We attended after a strong wind blew out a large display window. The crew installed 18mm plywood with anti-tamper fixings, left time-stamped photos and coordinated with the shop owner’s insurer for glazing replacement.
- Riverside flat near Canbury Gardens (post-break-in): After a forced entry, we secured the ground-floor sash window using non-destructive plywood fixing, supplied an itemised invoice and gave a simple work statement to support the tenant’s claim.
