When you need boarding up in Longmead

Common situations where property owners ask for boarding up Longmead include:

• Burglary or break-in: damaged doors or frames requiring immediate securing.
• Vandalism: smashed windows or shopfront glass left exposed.
• Storm damage: blown-in glazing or wind-lifted doors creating security and weather risks.
• Accidental impact: vehicle or delivery incidents that shatter panes or damage frames.
• Vacant/void properties: medium-term security between lettings or sale.

We operate throughout the KT area and Kingston borough, covering KT19 and neighbouring communities. If you’re unsure whether your situation needs boarding, call us for immediate advice: Call 020 4572 1601.

How we secure properties in Longmead

We prioritise non-destructive securing wherever possible. That means installing temporary boarding or screens that protect the building but avoid unnecessary damage to frames or fabric. Typical methods we use:

• Plywood or OSB boarding (typically 9–18mm depending on opening size and insurer requirements).
• Anti-tamper fixings designed so they cannot be removed from outside.
• Temporary steel doors or Sitex-style security screens for high-risk commercial premises.
• Weatherproofing tape and temporary seals for storm-exposed openings.
• Time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement for insurers.

We will explain any rare occasions where a small amount of fabric work is necessary (for example, where a door frame is structurally compromised after a forced entry). In those cases we clearly record and photograph the condition and discuss options with you before proceeding.

For emergencies affecting shopfronts or larger glazed units, see our shopfront boarding in Kingston. For broken panes or damaged frames, our window boarding in Kingston and door boarding up pages explain the typical approaches.

Micro case studies — local jobs in KT19

• Overnight burglary at a small retail parade near Walton High Street: we installed anti-tamper plywood boarding and a temporary steel grille to secure the shopfront for insurers until permanent glazing was fitted.

FAQs

How quickly can you board up a property in Longmead?

We operate 24/7 mobile teams across KT and aim to attend urgent calls as quickly as road conditions allow. We won’t promise a fixed ETA, but we prioritise emergency jobs and provide clear arrival guidance when you call.

Will boarding up damage my windows or frames?

We use non-destructive securing wherever possible. Plywood/OSB is fixed with anti-tamper screws into surrounding timber or masonry rather than glass, and we avoid cutting or widening frames unless the damage makes that unavoidable.

What information do I need for an insurance claim?

Keep the police reference if applicable. We supply time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement describing what we did. We’re not loss adjusters, but we make insurer paperwork simple.

Do you offer temporary steel doors or security screens?

Yes — for commercial premises, vacant properties or repeatedly targeted sites we install temporary steel doors and Sitex-style security screens. We’ll advise the best option for cost, security and appearance.
