Emergency Boarding Up in Hatchford

If you need boarding up Hatchford right away, our Kingston-based team can help. We provide rapid, professional boarding and make-safe work across KT11 and the wider KT postcode area (KT1–KT24), supporting homeowners, landlords and businesses after break-ins, vandalism, storms or accidental damage.

When you need this: common local scenarios

• Burglary or forced entry at a cottage or farmhouse on Hatchford Lane — immediate boarding to secure windows and doors.
• Storm damage where glazing is cracked or missing near the River Mole or Hatchford Park.
• Accidental impact to a rural shop or outbuilding on nearby roads off Cobham High Street.
• Vacant or void properties needing medium-term security between tenancies.

Nearby neighbourhoods we regularly cover include Cobham, Ockham, Downside and Wisley, and we often attend jobs close to Cobham & Stoke d’Abernon station and Walton-on-Thames station. Local landmarks we reference on site include Hatchford Park, Ockham Park and the River Mole, which can help us find properties quickly.

How we secure your property in Hatchford

We aim to protect your home or business with the least intrusive methods possible.

• Survey and prioritise safety: we first check for hazards (broken glass, unstable frames, water ingress) and cordon if needed.
• Non-destructive boarding wherever possible: we fit external boards without widening frames or cutting—exceptions are rare and only used when the structure is unsafe.
• Materials and fixings:
  • Exterior-grade plywood (9–12mm) or 12mm OSB for window/door boarding.
  • Anti-tamper fixings are used so boards cannot be easily removed from outside.
  • Optional temporary steel doors or Sitex-style security screens for medium-term or high-risk sites.
• Weatherproofing: boarding and temporary seals to keep out rain and wind until permanent repairs are arranged.
• Evidence for insurers: we supply time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement; please keep any police reference number if one was issued.

We also coordinate with trades when needed — for example, arranging an emergency glazier or a roofer after storm or impact damage.

Local examples — micro case studies (Hatchford area)

• Case 1 — Storm-damaged cottage near Hatchford Park: boarded four windows and fitted anti-tamper fixings same day; provided photos and an itemised invoice for the insurer.
• Case 2 — Post-burglary at a rural property off Cobham High Street: fitted a temporary steel door to secure a compromised frame while arranging a permanent replacement with the landlord.
• Case 3 — Accidental vehicular impact to an outbuilding near Ockham Park: cleared debris, secured openings with OSB and advised on next steps with local roofers.

These short examples reflect typical work in KT11 and the surrounding areas.
