We provide boarding up and emergency securing across Langley Vale (KT18) with experienced, DBS‑checked technicians and public liability insurance to protect you and your property.

We cover the KT18 area and the surrounding KT postcodes with a mobile response service.

How we secure your property

We aim to protect your property using non‑destructive methods wherever possible. Our standard approach:

1. Rapid assessment on arrival — safety first (we will cordon obvious hazards).
2. Temporary boarding using quality materials:
   • Exterior plywood or OSB, selected to suit the opening and expected exposure (typically 9–18mm thickness depending on size and security needs).
   • Weatherproofing and temporary seals for exposed openings.
3. Secure fixings:
   • Anti‑tamper fixings that can’t be easily removed from outside.
   • Reinforced screws or security bolts for larger openings.
4. Optional upgrades where needed:
   • Temporary steel doors for badly damaged entrances.
   • Steel security screens or Sitex‑style anti‑vandal screens for commercial units.
5. Clean‑up of hazardous debris (e.g., glass) as part of our same‑day service where safe to do so.

We keep the work as non‑destructive as possible. If a situation requires a structural or destructive intervention (for example, a seriously damaged frame or unsafe structure), we’ll explain why and agree the next steps before proceeding.
