Emergency Boarding Up in Littleton

If you need boarding up Littleton after a break-in, vandalism, storm or accidental damage, we provide fast, local support across KT16 and the wider Kingston area. Our Kingston-based team offers reliable, non-destructive securing wherever possible and practical help with insurers so your home, shop or vacant property is made safe quickly and professionally.

When you need this

Common reasons neighbours in Littleton call us include:

Post-burglary or forced entry (secure the door/frame after a kick-in)
Smashed windows or shopfront glass late at night
Storm damage blowing out glazing or ripping a skylight
Accidental impact (vehicular or construction damage)
Securing vacant or void properties between tenancies

We respond to emergency jobs that affect safety, security and weatherproofing. Littleton customers often mention incidents on and around Littleton High Street, near Hampton Court station and beside the River Thames at the local towpath.

How we secure your property

We focus on non-destructive methods wherever possible; that means making safe without removing frames or structural fabric unless the damage requires it.

Our usual process and materials:

On arrival we assess hazards and preserve evidence if police are involved. We will take time-stamped photos for insurers and supply an itemised invoice and a simple work statement.
Window boarding: exterior-grade plywood or OSB (typically 9–12mm depending on the opening) fixed with anti-tamper fixings so boards cannot be removed from outside.
Door boarding: timber boarding for short-term securing or fitted temporary steel doors where the frame is badly damaged or the client needs medium-term security.
Security screens: Sitex-style or steel security screens for commercial premises if requested.
Fixings & finish: anti-tamper screws, close-fitting trims, weather seals where needed and neat, tidy finish so the property looks secure and presentable.
Non-destructive principle: where a frame is intact we avoid cutting or removing glazing beads; if a full frame replacement is required (rare, structural failures or severe fire damage) we explain options and costs up front.

All technicians are DBS-checked, covered by public liability insurance and trained to work safely in residential and commercial settings. We follow simple RAMS for larger jobs and can liaise with roofers, glaziers or structural engineers when needed.

FAQs

How quickly can you board up my property in Littleton?

We operate a 24/7 emergency service and mobilise locally across KT16. We’ll confirm attendance when you call and prioritise urgent safety/security jobs. We won’t promise exact ETAs but aim for rapid dispatch from our Kingston team.

Will boarding damage my window frames?

We use non-destructive boarding methods wherever possible. If a frame is sound we secure boards without removing glazing beads. If structural repairs are necessary (for example after severe fire or impact) we’ll explain the reason and options first.

What materials do you use and why?

We typically use exterior-grade plywood or OSB (9–12mm) for temporary boarding and anti-tamper fixings to prevent outside removal. For longer-term or high-risk sites we can fit temporary steel doors or Sitex-style security screens.

Do you provide paperwork for insurance?

Yes — every job is followed by time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement. Keep any police reference number and forward our paperwork to your insurer. We are not loss adjusters or legal advisers but we make claims easier.

Is it covered for vacant properties?

We offer medium-term solutions for void or vacant properties, including anti-tamper fixings, security screens and temporary steel doors. We can also manage access for contractors if required.
