When you need this

Common situations where property owners in East Molesey call us:

• Burglary or forced entry at homes near Hampton Court station — secure the door and make the property safe for police and insurers.
• Smashed shop window or retail glazing on the local high street close to Hampton Court Palace — fast shopfront boarding to protect stock and customers.
• Storm damage or fallen branches by Hampton Court Bridge that leave windows or skylights exposed.
• Vacant property security for turn‑around estates or landlords with void flats in KT8.
• Accidental impact (e.g., delivery vehicle or vandalism) to ground‑floor glazing beside the riverside walk.

We cover all KT postcodes from KT1–KT24 and operate locally across nearby neighbourhoods including Hampton Court, West Molesey, Kingston‑upon‑Thames and Surbiton.

How we secure your property

We aim to be non‑destructive wherever possible and use materials and methods designed for fast, safe protection:

• Materials: exterior plywood or OSB for windows (typically 9–12mm for glazing), heavier 18mm panels for doors where extra strength is needed. We can also fit temporary steel doors and Sitex‑style security screens for longer‑term protection.
• Fixings: anti‑tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside; coach screws and internal timber batons to distribute load without damaging existing frames where possible.
• Weather protection: temporary weatherproofing and sealing for storm‑exposed openings to keep water and wind out until permanent repairs.
• Non‑destructive principle: we start with boarding and repair methods that keep original frames and brickwork intact. If structural damage means non‑destructive securing is unsafe, we’ll explain why and show options (photographed and documented).
• Safety and compliance: DBS‑checked technicians, public liability insurance and tidy RAMS for commercial or high‑risk jobs.

If you need glazing and boarding together, we can arrange a board‑and‑glaze solution with trusted glaziers to get you back to normal quickly.
