When you need this

Common scenarios where homeowners, landlords and businesses in Claygate call us:

• Burglary or break-in — secure broken doors and windows to protect belongings and meet insurer expectations.
• Vandalism — same-day boarding after smashed glass on Claygate High Street or a damaged shopfront.
• Storm or accidental impact — temporary weatherproof boarding for blown windows, damaged skylights or impact to a shopfront.
• Vacant or void property security — secure empty houses or flats while between tenants or awaiting more permanent works.
• Urgent landlord or estate-agent requests — out-of-hours boarding to secure tenanted properties.

We cover Claygate village and the immediate surroundings — including Claygate Station, Claygate Village Green and the parade along the High Street — and work across the KT postcode area when you need us.

How we secure your property

We aim to use non-destructive securing methods wherever possible; any unavoidable interventions (for example where the frame is structurally compromised) are explained and agreed before work begins.

Typical measures we use:

• Plywood or OSB boarding: 9mm–18mm exterior-grade plywood or OSB for temporary window and door boarding, depending on size and exposure.
• Anti-tamper fixings: coach bolts and concealed fixings so boards cannot easily be removed from outside.
• Temporary steel doors and Sitex-style security screens for commercial premises where extra robustness is required.
• Weatherproofing: sealed edges and temporary flashing for exposed or high-level repairs, plus short-term tarpaulins if needed for skylights and roof openings.
• Tidiness and safety: we clear glass debris, leave a safe access route and carry out work in line with simple RAMS for commercial jobs.

We time-stamp job photos, provide itemised invoices and a short work statement for insurers; please keep any police reference number if the job follows a crime.

Micro case studies — Claygate examples

• Storm boarding on High Street: same-day boarding after a large pane was blown out during a storm. We boarded and sealed the opening and provided photos and an invoice for the insurer.
• Post-burglary house secure: following a break-in to a ground-floor bay window, we fitted non-destructive boarding with anti-tamper fixings and advised on temporary glazing options.
• Shopfront emergency: a retail unit by the station had a smashed display window late evening; our crew cleared glass, boarded the opening and arranged a daytime glazier handover.

FAQs

How long does it take to board up a property in Claygate?

Most residential window or door board-ups take between 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on access, size and whether extra weatherproofing is needed. Commercial or high-level jobs can take longer due to scaffolding or additional safety measures.

Will boarding up damage my frames or windows?

We use non-destructive securing wherever possible — plywood fixed through the frame or into brickwork with anti-tamper fixings. If frames are badly damaged or structurally unsafe, we’ll explain any necessary cutting-out or temporary door options before work begins.

Is boarding up covered by insurance?

Often yes, but policies vary. We provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement to support your claim. Keep any police reference number if the damage is crime-related and pass our paperwork to your insurer.
