When you need this
Common situations where residents and businesses in the Hampton Court Palace area call us:
- Broken or smashed windows after vandalism or accidental impact near Hampton Court Station.
- Forced entry or kick-ins to riverside houses along the Thames or properties on Hampton Court Green.
- Storm-damaged doors, skylights or glazing after high winds on the riverside.

How we secure your property
We aim to secure properties with minimal damage and a professional finish.
- Non-destructive first: wherever possible we use non-destructive securing so original frames and fittings are preserved. If structural damage (for example after a severe impact) requires more invasive work we explain this clearly before proceeding.
- Materials: we use marine-grade plywood or OSB where required, typically 18–24mm for windows and heavier duty panels for larger shopfronts. For longer-term or higher-risk sites we can install Sitex-style steel security screens or temporary steel doors.
- Fixings: anti-tamper fixings are fitted so panels can’t be easily removed from the outside, and we seal gaps to deter weather and pests.
- Doors & shopfronts: for kick-ins or commercial properties we supply temporary secure doors and steel screens designed for rapid replacement and later permanent upgrade.
- Safety & paperwork: all work is carried out by DBS-checked technicians with public liability insurance. We take time-stamped photos, provide an itemised invoice and a short work statement suitable for insurance claims.
If you need a glazier on the same call-out we can coordinate a board & glaze handover — ask about our emergency glazing partners when you call.
