Emergency Boarding Up in Hersham

If you need boarding up Hersham now, we provide fast, professional help across KT11 and KT12 to secure homes, shops and vacant properties. Whether a smashed window on Hersham High Street or a forced-door after a break‑in near Hersham Station, our local team is available to advise and carry out non‑destructive securing wherever possible.

When you need this

Common reasons residents and businesses in Hersham call us include:

• Post‑burglary or forced entry — secure property after a break‑in and make it safe for occupants and insurers.
• Vandalism or smashed shop window on Hersham High Street — same‑day glass boarding and debris clearance.
• Storm damage or broken skylights — temporary weatherproof boarding to prevent further water ingress.
• Vacant or void property protection — medium‑term boarding for empty homes and flats.
• Accidental impact (vehicular or construction) to shopfronts or windows near Hersham Village.

We cover emergency boarding up Hersham needs across KT11 and KT12 and have mobile crews serving the wider Kingston KT area (KT1–KT24).

How we secure your property

We follow a clear, insurer‑friendly approach designed to be as non‑destructive as possible:

• Assessment and advice: we inspect the damage, identify risks (broken glass, loose frame, structural concerns) and recommend options.
• Materials we use:
  • Exterior plywood or OSB boarding — typically 18mm exterior‑grade plywood or 18–22mm OSB for larger openings, depending on situation.
  • Anti‑tamper fixings — screws and specialised fixings so boards can’t be easily removed from the outside.
  • Temporary steel doors and Sitex‑style security screens for high‑risk commercial entrances.
• Non‑destructive principle: we fit timber boards to existing frames and use fixings that minimise additional damage. Where frames are badly damaged (for example after a structural impact or severe fire), we may need to make safe with more invasive temporary works — we’ll explain this clearly before proceeding.
• Workmanship guarantee: our boarding and fixings come with a warranty on workmanship; we tidy the site and remove hazardous debris where safe to do so.
• Evidence for insurers: we provide time‑stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a simple work statement. Please keep any police reference number if one was issued.

FAQs

How quickly can you get to Hersham?

We operate 24/7 emergency cover across KT11 and KT12 with mobile crews. We don’t promise fixed ETAs online, but we prioritise out‑of‑hours and higher‑risk jobs and will give an arrival window when you call.

Will boarding damage my window or door frame?

We always use non‑destructive securing where possible, fixing boards to sound frames or surrounding brickwork. If a frame is structurally unsound, we’ll explain why a more invasive temporary repair is necessary before proceeding.

What materials and fixings do you use?

Typically 18mm exterior‑grade plywood or 18–22mm OSB for larger openings, secured with anti‑tamper screws. For commercial doors we can provide temporary steel doors or Sitex‑style security screens if required.

What documentation will I get for my insurer?

You’ll receive time‑stamped photos, an itemised invoice detailing materials and labour, and a short work statement. Keep any police reference number if you have one.
