Emergency Boarding Up in Coombe

Boarding up Coombe is a fast, reliable way to secure your home, shop or vacant property in Coombe (KT2) after a break-in, smash or storm damage. Our Kingston team provides local, professional boarding-up and emergency securing across the KT2 area and the wider Kingston patch—available 24/7 and ready to attend with the right materials and paperwork for insurers.

When you need this

Typical situations where residents and businesses in Coombe call us:

Burglary or forced entry to a house, flat or business premises — need to secure doors, frames and windows immediately (post-burglary boarding up Coombe).
Vandalism or smashed shop windows on nearby shopping roads — safe clearance and shopfront boarding Coombe.
Storm damage or fallen debris breaking glazing or doors — temporary weatherproofing and storm damage boarding Coombe.
Accidental impact (e.g., vehicle to glazing) or sudden structural damage requiring a safety cordon and emergency board-up.
Securing vacant properties, void flats or lettings between tenancies (vacant property boarding Coombe).

Local clues you might notice: shattered glass on Coombe Lane, wind-driven gaps at Coombe Wood entrances, or doors that will not lock after a kick-in. In those moments you want a calm, insured team who understand the area and can act quickly.

How we secure your property

We prioritise non-destructive securing wherever possible. Typical methods and materials we use in Coombe:

Plywood or OSB boarding: exterior-grade plywood or OSB in suitable thicknesses depending on the opening — common choices are 9–12mm for windows and heavier panels (15–18mm) where extra strength is needed.
Anti-tamper fixings: coach screws, security screws or tamper-proof bolts designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
Temporary steel doors or Sitex-style security screens for shopfronts and long-term vacant properties where required.
Weatherproofing: close-fitting boards with foam or rubber seals and temporary trims to keep rain and wind out after storm damage.
Non-destructive approach: we fix boards using existing frames and safe anchor points whenever it’s possible; only in rare situations where frames are structurally compromised will we recommend cutting back or replacing parts (we will explain why and show options).
Site safety: DBS-checked technicians, working to a simple RAMS approach for any work that needs a ladder, tower or street-side cordon.

We take time-stamped photos before, during and after the work and provide an itemised invoice and a short work statement suitable for insurers.

FAQs

Do you board windows and doors in Coombe at night?

Yes — we operate an out-of-hours response and offer same-day or emergency attendance for urgent security issues across KT2. For immediate help, call our emergency number.

Will boarding damage my existing frames?

We use non-destructive securing wherever possible, fixing to existing frames or safe anchor points. If a frame is structurally unsafe we will explain why removal or further repair is needed and provide options.

What information do insurers need after boarding up?

We provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short statement of works. Please keep any police reference number if the incident was reported. We are not loss adjusters but we will supply clear evidence for your claim.

How long does boarding stay in place?

Temporary boarding is designed to be a short- to medium-term solution. Timber or OSB panels can remain for weeks while glazing or permanent repairs are arranged; for longer-term vacancies we can fit security screens or temporary steel doors.

Are your technicians insured and DBS-checked?

Yes — all on-site technicians are DBS-checked and covered by public liability insurance. We work safely and tidy up after ourselves.
