How we secure your property
We follow a clear, insurer-friendly process that prioritises safety and minimal disruption.
- Rapid assessment — we confirm hazards, photos and what needs boarding.
- Non-destructive first approach — where possible we use existing frames and fixings to avoid further damage. We only move to structural interventions if frames are unsafe.
- Materials we use:
- Plywood or OSB boarding (commonly 12mm or 18mm depending on size and exposure).
- Anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
- Temporary steel doors or Sitex-style security screens for medium-term protection where required.
- Installation standards:
- Tidy, secure fixing with weatherseal where needed for immediate weatherproofing.
- Time-stamped photos and an itemised work statement taken on completion for insurers.
- Waste removed and site left safe; RAMS followed for commercial jobs.
We can also arrange a board & glaze handover with local glaziers if you need permanent glass replacement after the temporary work.
