Emergency Boarding Up in Kingswood

Boarding up Kingswood is our local, rapid response for homeowners, landlords and businesses in the KT20 area who need fast, reliable security after a break-in, storm damage or accidental impact. We cover Kingswood and the surrounding KT20 neighbourhoods 24/7 and provide insurer-friendly paperwork, DBS-checked technicians and public liability insurance for peace of mind.

When you need this

Typical situations where residents and businesses in Kingswood call us:

• Burglary or forced entry — secure the property after a break-in while you wait for repairs.
• Vandalism or smashed panes on ground-floor windows or shopfronts.
• Storm damage — blown-in windows, damaged skylights or loose doors.
• Accidental impact — a vehicle hitting a shopfront, a garden accident or a dropped tool causing glazing failure.
• Vacant or void property protection while awaiting longer-term security works.

Local, recognisable places we regularly attend in and around Kingswood (KT20): Kingswood Village green, nearby Box Hill and Ashtead Common. Close transport and shopping references include the local high street, nearby stations and local bus links into Leatherhead and Ashtead.

Micro case studies — recent Kingswood jobs

• Semi-detached house, Kingswood Road (KT20): emergency window boarding after storm-blown glass. We used 9mm plywood, installed anti-tamper fixings and delivered time-stamped photos for the insurer the same day.
• Small retail unit near the local high street: shopfront boarding after a smashed pane. We supplied a temporary Sitex-style security screen overnight and a simple work statement for the claim.
• Vacant bungalow on a lane off the main road: medium-term vacant property boarding with a temporary steel door and coded access management.

How we secure your property

We use non-destructive methods wherever possible so your original frames and fittings are preserved. When that isn’t possible (severe structural damage, unsafe frames), we explain options clearly and only proceed with your consent.

Our standard approach:

• Survey and safety assessment on arrival — cordon risks, check for sharp glass and hazards.
• Temporary boarding: marine-grade plywood or OSB, selected by location and exposure (typically 9mm–18mm depending on the opening), cut to fit and sealed for weather where needed.
• Fixings: stainless steel, anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
• Option upgrades: temporary steel doors, Sitex-style security screens or anti-vandal screens for commercial premises and void properties.
• Workmanship guarantees and a tidy finish — we secure, clear debris and leave a simple, itemised invoice and time-stamped photo record for your insurer.

We also work closely with local glaziers and roofers if you need a fast “board & glaze” solution or temporary weatherproof tarping for skylights. For shopfronts, we use specialist methods to protect frames and roller shutters and follow simple RAMS on site.

FAQs

How quickly can you attend in Kingswood (KT20)?

Will boarding up affect my insurance claim?

Boarding up is usually seen as reasonable emergency protection. We supply time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement you can submit to your insurer. Keep any police reference number you were given at the scene.

We provide temporary boarding to secure the property and can put you in touch with trusted local glaziers for same-day glazing if required. Ask us about our window boarding in Kingston and the board & glaze options.
