Emergency Boarding Up in Esher

If you need boarding up Esher—fast, reliable and sympathetic service for homes, shops and vacant buildings—we’re available 24/7 to secure your property in the KT10 area. Whether a smashed shop window on Esher High Street, a storm-broken skylight near Claremont Landscape Garden or a post-burglary door at a residential flat, we provide non-destructive, insurer-friendly boarding up and make-safe services.

When you need this

Common reasons local people call us for emergency boarding up in Esher:

• Burglary or break-in: smashed doors or windows after forced entry (post-burglary boarding up).
• Vandalism or anti-social damage to shopfronts on the High Street.
• Storm or impact damage at properties close to Sandown Park Racecourse or Claremont Estate (temporary weatherproofing and storm boarding).
• Accidental breakage from deliveries or vehicular impact near Esher station.
• Vacant or void property security for landlords and estate agents managing houses or flats in KT10.

We cover residential and commercial needs across Esher, and our mobile crews also work across the wider Kingston KT postcode area. If your situation is urgent, we can mobilise out-of-hours teams for same-day response.

How we secure your property

We follow a clear, non-destructive approach wherever possible and explain any necessary exceptions (for example where a damaged frame must be cut back for safety). Typical steps and materials:

• Site assessment: safety, glass/debris risk, entry points and any structural concerns.
• Temporary boarding: high-quality plywood or OSB (commonly 18mm for windows and larger openings; we choose thickness to meet the risk and insurer expectations).
• Fixings: we use anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside, plus stainless steel screws or coach bolts where appropriate.
• Weatherproofing: close-fitting boards, foam tape and sealing where needed to keep rain and wind out.
• Optional upgrades: temporary steel doors, Sitex-style security screens, or steel security screens for retail premises and vacant property protection.
• Clean-up and safety: removal of loose glass (safe disposal) and a tidy site before we leave.

We favour non-destructive securing methods. Rarely, structural damage means temporary cut-back or more invasive works are needed—if so, we explain why, provide photographic evidence and coordinate with specialist contractors.

Micro case studies — Esher examples

• Post-burglary flat near Esher Green: we secured a smashed rear door with an 18mm plywood board, fitted anti-tamper fixings and supplied time-stamped photos for the homeowner’s insurer. Follow-up: temporary door replacement arranged with a local joiner.
• Shopfront smash on Esher High Street: same-day shopfront boarding using OSB plus a Sitex-style security screen while the shop sourced a permanent glass replacement. We cleared broken glass safely and left the premises tidy for the retailer.
• Storm-damaged skylight at a house near Sandown Park: temporary roof boarding and weatherproof tape applied; we liaised with the homeowner’s roofer for a permanent repair and provided a brief work statement for the insurance claim.

FAQs

How quickly can you board up my property in Esher?

We operate 24/7 and aim for the fastest possible response. We don’t promise specific ETAs, but our Kingston-based mobile crews cover KT10 and nearby areas for same-day or out-of-hours call-outs.

Will boarding be destructive to my window or door frames?

We use non-destructive securing wherever possible. If a frame is severely damaged or unsafe, a small amount of cut-back may be necessary for a secure temporary fix; we’ll explain this and document the work with photos.

What do I need to support an insurance claim?

Keep any police reference number, and we’ll provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement describing what we did. We are not loss adjusters, but we supply insurer-friendly paperwork to make your claim smoother.

Do you offer temporary steel doors or longer-term security for vacant properties?

Yes — for vacant property security or higher-risk commercial sites we can install temporary steel doors, Sitex-style screens or steel security screens. These are quoted separately depending on the property and access.
