When you need this

Common reasons residents and businesses in Chessington ask for boarding up include:

Burglary or forced entry at homes and flats — secure property after break-in and make it safe for insurers.
Smashed shopfronts and retail glazing on Chessington town centre parades or Hook Road.
Storm damage to windows, doors or skylights near Leatherhead Road and local parks.
Accidental vehicle impact to a shopfront or ground-floor window.
Securing vacant/void properties pending repair or renovation.

We cover local hotspots such as Chessington World of Adventures Resort, Chessington South and Chessington North stations, and the Chessington Centre shopping parade. Nearby areas we regularly serve include Tolworth, Surbiton, New Malden and Epsom.

How we secure your property

We aim to use non-destructive securing wherever possible and explain exceptions (for example, badly damaged frames or structural defects that must be made safe by controlled removal).

Materials and methods we commonly use:

Exterior-grade plywood or OSB: typically 9–12mm for windows and 12–18mm where extra rigidity is needed. For longer-term or higher-risk sites we can fit 18mm panels or temporary steel doors.
Anti-tamper fixings: screws and coach bolts designed so they can’t easily be undone from outside.
Sitex-style steel security screens and temporary steel doors for vacant properties or high-risk shopfronts.
Weatherproof sealing and temporary flashings where storm boarding is required.
Time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement to help with insurance claims.

Our technicians are DBS-checked and insured with public liability cover. We tidy up on completion and remove any debris unless you ask us to leave it for the restoration crew.

Local micro case studies

Case study — smashed shopfront on Hook Road
A late-night vandalism incident left a retail frontage damaged. We provided same-day shopfront boarding using anti-tamper fixings and Sitex-style screens overnight, coordinated with a glazier for next-day glazing, and supplied insurer-ready photos and an itemised invoice.

Case study — post-burglary at a ground-floor flat near Chessington South station
After police attendance, we fitted non-destructive plywood boarding to the window and a temporary secure door where the frame had been forced. The tenant received a clear works statement to pass to their insurer.

Case study — storm-damaged skylight adjacent to Leatherhead Road
We installed temporary OSB boarding and a weatherproof flashing to keep the property watertight until a roofer could make a permanent repair.
