Emergency Boarding Up in Chertsey

If you need boarding up Chertsey today — for a smashed shop window on Chertsey High Street, a break-in on London Road or storm damage near Chertsey Station — we provide fast, sympathetic, professional emergency securing across KT16 and the wider KT area. Our Kingston-based team are available 24/7 for urgent board-ups and temporary securing, with DBS-checked technicians, public liability insurance and more than 10 years’ experience working with homeowners, landlords and businesses.

When you need this

Typical reasons Chertsey customers call us include:

• Burglary or forced entry in town-centre retail units on Chertsey High Street or nearby streets.
• Smashed domestic windows in Victorian terraces and riverside properties around the Abbey River and Chertsey Meads.
• Storm damage to rooflights, skylights or ground-floor glazing close to Chertsey Bridge.
• Accidental impact (vehicle into a shopfront) or other accidental breakage requiring an immediate safety cordon.

We respond to both residential and commercial emergencies, including void properties. If you’re unsure whether you need a board-up, we’ll advise on the phone and can attend to make the property safe.

How we secure your property

We aim to use non-destructive securing wherever possible. When that’s not safe or practical (severe structural damage, unsafe frames, or emergency access required by authorities) we’ll explain the exception and get your approval.

Our typical methods:

• Plywood or OSB boarding: 9–18 mm thickness depending on size and location. We choose material to meet insurers’ expectations and site needs.
• Anti-tamper fixings: designed so panels can’t be removed easily from the outside.
• Temporary steel doors and Sitex-style security screens for vacant commercial properties or high-risk retail premises.
• Weatherproofing for roof and skylight boarding using OSB and approved flashing/tarpaulin where needed.
• Small repairs to frames where non-destructive fixing is possible; glazing partner referrals for same-day or next-day replacement.

We document every job for insurance: time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a simple work statement. Please keep your police reference number if the incident has been reported.

Why choose us in Chertsey

• Local presence: Kingston-based with mobile crews covering KT postcodes (including KT16) and neighbouring areas such as Addlestone, Weybridge and Ottershaw.
• Trusted team: over 10 years’ experience, DBS-checked technicians and public liability insurance for peace of mind.
• Insurer-friendly paperwork: we supply the photos and itemised documents insurers usually require.
• Non-destructive-first approach: we avoid cutting or removing secure frames unless safety or structure requires it — and explain why if that’s the case.

For commercial premises we prepare a simple RAMS summary on request and can coordinate with property managers and glaziers.

Local micro case studies (Chertsey)

• High Street shopfront: same-day response after a delivery vehicle damaged a shop window on Chertsey High Street. We fitted a secure OSB panel with anti-tamper fixings and arranged a local glazier referral for replacement glass.
• Riverside terrace: a broken ground-floor bay window on a Victorian terrace near the Abbey River. We used non-destructive boarding so the original frame stayed intact, photographed the works for the insurer and left an itemised invoice.
• Storm-damaged skylight: after a heavy wind event close to Chertsey Bridge we weatherproofed and boarded a damaged rooflight, then liaised with the homeowner’s roofer for follow-up repairs.
