How we secure your property
We follow a step-by-step, insurer-friendly approach and use materials and methods that balance speed with long-term protection.
- Assessment and safety: we assess hazards (glass, unstable frames, roof damage) and cordon off dangers before work begins.
- Non-destructive-first principle: we secure windows and doors without removing frames wherever possible. If the frame is structurally unsafe (for example after a forced entry), we explain the exception and agree the safest fix.
- Materials we use:
- Exterior-grade plywood or OSB (typically 9–18mm depending on the opening size and location).
- Anti-tamper fixings designed so they cannot be removed easily from outside.
- Temporary steel doors or Sitex-style security screens for voids, commercial units or repeat incidents.
- Weatherproof sealing and temporary flashing for storm-damaged roofs or skylights.
- Workmanship guarantees: we provide a clear workmanship guarantee on temporary boarding and a tidy, safe finish. Where longer-term replacements are needed we can arrange follow-on glazing or joinery.
- Insurer evidence: time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement are provided on completion. Please keep any police reference number if a crime has been reported.
