Emergency Boarding Up in Cuddington
If you need fast, reliable boarding up Cuddington, our local Kingston team is available to secure homes, shops and void properties across the KT4 area. We provide emergency boarding up and emergency property securing with a calm, professional response — whether you’ve had a break-in, vandalism, storm damage or accidental impact.
When you need this
Common situations where residents and businesses in Cuddington call us:
- After a burglary or break-in — to secure doors and windows and make the property safe.
- Smashed shopfront or broken window — same-day glass boarding and debris clearance.
- Storm or impact damage to roofs, skylights or glazing needing temporary weatherproofing.
- Vacant property protection for periods of emptiness or between lets.
- Accidental damage (vehicle impact or construction incident) where a temporary secure door or boarding is required.
We regularly attend jobs around local points such as Cuddington Recreation Ground, Cuddington Village Hall and the Stoneleigh Broadway shopping parade. Nearby stations and high streets we cover include Stoneleigh station, Worcester Park and the Ewell area — all within our KT4 mobile coverage.
How we secure your property
Our approach is practical, insurer-friendly and focused on minimising further damage.
Step-by-step on site:
- Rapid assessment and risk check on arrival, including safety of glazing and frames.
- Non-destructive boarding wherever possible — we fit boards so they can be removed from inside, preserving frames.
- Materials and fixings we commonly use:
- Exterior plywood or OSB, typically 9–18mm depending on the opening and insurer requirements.
- Anti-tamper fixings to prevent easy removal from outside.
- Temporary steel doors or steel security screens for high-risk commercial openings or long-term void security.
- For shopfronts: secure boarding tailored to the shop-glass size; removable or fixed options available; coordination with shutters or roller doors if present.
- Photo evidence and a simple work statement are supplied on completion for insurers. We strongly recommend you keep any police reference number if applicable.
We favour non-destructive securing wherever possible and will explain any rare exceptions — for example, where structural damage means a frame must be altered to make the property safe.
