How We Secure Your Property
We follow a calm, step-by-step approach tailored to the situation, prioritising non-destructive methods wherever possible.
- Rapid assessment on arrival:
- Evaluate safety (glass, structure, utilities) and agree a plan with you.
- Standard temporary materials:
- Exterior-grade plywood or OSB (typically 18mm where required for strength).
- Timber framing and pads to prevent damage to window/door frames.
- Anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
- Optional stronger solutions:
- Temporary steel doors and steel security screens for long-term or high-risk sites.
- Sitex-style security screens for void properties or commercial premises.
- Workmanship and evidence:
- Non-destructive securing is used wherever possible; if structural damage means panels must be fixed directly to the frame or masonry we’ll explain why and agree this with you.
- Time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement are supplied for insurance claims.
- Safety and compliance:
- All work is carried out with safe systems of work and relevant RAMS for commercial jobs; our technicians are DBS-checked and have public liability insurance.

FAQs
How long does it take to board up a property in Lower Kingswood?
Most domestic jobs take 30–90 minutes depending on window/door count and access. Larger commercial or high-level work may take longer and require additional equipment.
Is boarding up covered by insurance?
Many policies cover emergency boarding up after insured events (burglary, storm). We provide the time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement to support your claim. Keep your police reference if applicable.
Will boarding damage my window or frame?
We use non-destructive methods wherever possible (timber pads, frame-fixing screws) to protect existing frames. If a frame is structurally unsound we’ll explain why a more permanent fix is necessary before proceeding.
