Emergency Boarding Up in Ewell
If you need boarding up Ewell now, we provide fast, professional support across the KT17 area — covering Ewell Village, Ewell High Street and the neighbourhood around Ewell East and Ewell West stations. Our Kingston-based team is available 24/7 for emergency property securing, same-day response and non-destructive temporary repairs.
When you need this
We frequently attend properties in Ewell for situations including:
- Burglary or break-in — smashed doors or kicked-in frames requiring immediate securing.
- Vandalism — smashed shop windows on Ewell High Street or graffiti-damaged entry points.
- Storm damage — blown-in glass, damaged skylights or water-risking openings near Bourne Hall.
- Accidental impact — vehicle or delivery-damage to shopfronts on the high street.
- Vacant/void properties needing medium-term security around Nonsuch Park and surrounding residential streets.
If you spot broken glass, unsecured doors, or a safety risk at your property in KT17, securing the building reduces further damage, protects possessions and satisfies many insurer and police recommendations.
How we secure your property
We prioritise non-destructive securing wherever possible and explain any rare exceptions (for example, unsafe frames that require cutting out for safety). Typical methods include:
- On arrival: quick safety check and cordon where needed (no access until safe).
- Materials: quality plywood or OSB boarding (typically 9mm–18mm depending on location and insurer guidance) or temporary steel doors/screens for high-risk or commercial premises.
- Fixings: anti-tamper fixings and coach bolts designed so boards can’t be removed from outside.
- Glazing: temporary board-and-glaze options where we board now and arrange an emergency glazier if required.
- Vacant properties: Sitex-style security screens or temporary steel doors for medium-term protection.
- Paperwork: time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a simple work statement for insurers; keep any police reference number you were given.
We use ladders and, where necessary, tower access for higher windows and follow safe working RAMS for commercial sites. If structural issues are present (for example, badly damaged frames or unsafe masonry), we’ll explain why a more intrusive repair is necessary and liaise with roofers or structural specialists if needed.

FAQs
How quickly can you board up a house in Ewell?
We operate 24/7 with mobile teams covering KT17. We’ll prioritise urgent safety jobs and aim to dispatch the nearest available crew for same-day response — please call for immediate help.
Will boarding up affect my insurance claim?
Boarding up is usually required to prevent further loss and insurers expect property to be secured. We supply time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement to support your claim. Keep any police reference number as insurers will often request it.
Is boarding up destructive?
We use non-destructive securing wherever possible. That means we fix boards to frames or reveal using anti-tamper fixings without removing structural elements. If the frame is unsafe or there’s significant structural damage, we’ll explain why a more intrusive repair is necessary.
What materials do you use?
We typically use 9mm–18mm plywood or OSB for windows and doors depending on size and risk. For higher-risk commercial sites we can install temporary steel doors or Sitex-style security screens. All fixings are anti-tamper standard.
Do you cover commercial properties in Ewell?
Yes — we work with shops, offices and facilities managers on Ewell High Street and nearby commercial units, offering shopfront boarding, roller-shutter coordination and RAMS for out-of-hours works.
