How we secure properties in Hampton Wick

We prioritise non-destructive securing wherever possible and explain any exception clearly (for example, if a badly damaged frame must be cut back to install a temporary door).

Typical methods and materials we use:

• Plywood or OSB boarding — commonly 9–18mm thickness depending on the opening size and insurer requirements.
• Anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
• Temporary steel doors and Sitex-style or steel security screens for commercial properties or long-term void security.
• Weatherproofing measures for windows and skylights after storm damage (tarping plus boarding).
• Time-stamped photos and a short work statement for insurance claims, plus an itemised invoice.

We follow safe working practices around busy streets and riverside footpaths and use RAMS for commercial jobs where required.

FAQs

How quickly can you attend in Hampton Wick?

We operate 24/7 with mobile teams across Kingston. We avoid hard ETAs online but dispatch efficiently to urgent jobs in KT1 and neighbouring postcodes.

Will you damage my window frame when boarding?

We use non-destructive fixings wherever possible. If the frame is structurally unsafe or badly warped after impact or flood, we’ll explain why temporary frame work is necessary and photograph the condition for your insurer.

What materials do you use for shopfronts and homes?

We typically use 9–18mm plywood or OSB for windows and timber framing; steel security screens or temporary steel doors are used for higher-risk commercial and vacant properties. Anti-tamper fixings are standard on external boarding.

Do you provide paperwork for insurance claims?

Yes — we supply time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a concise work statement. Remember to keep any police reference number and forward it to your insurer.
