Emergency Boarding Up in Lyne

If you need boarding up Lyne after a break-in, storm damage or accidental impact, our local Kingston team can secure your property quickly and professionally. We cover Lyne (KT16) and nearby neighbourhoods around the village green, offering non-destructive temporary boarding, steel security options and insurer-friendly paperwork from our DBS-checked technicians with 10+ years’ experience.

When you need this

Common situations where residents and businesses ask for boarding up in Lyne:

• Post-burglary or forced entry to secure doors and windows and make the property safe for occupants and the public.
• Smashed windows or shopfront glass after vandalism, accidental impact or attempted theft.
• Storm damage to windows, skylights or doors that leaves openings exposed to weather.
• Accidental vehicle impact to a garage, conservatory or shopfront requiring immediate make-safe.
• Securing a vacant or void property while awaiting permanent repairs or new tenants.

We work across KT16 and serve nearby areas such as Chertsey, Longcross, Ottershaw and Virginia Water, including local points like Lyne Village Green, Lyne Common and Longcross railway station. We also respond near local landmarks such as Thorpe Park and Chertsey Abbey where needed.

How we secure your property

We follow a clear, non-destructive-first approach. Wherever possible we board without damaging frames or existing fabric; if the damage is structural we explain the rare exceptions clearly.

Our methods and materials:

• Plywood / OSB: exterior-grade 18mm plywood or 18mm OSB is standard for windows and small openings; thicker options available for larger or commercial openings.
• Anti-tamper fixings: screws and coach bolts chosen so panels can’t be removed easily from outside but are removable later without unnecessary damage.
• Temporary steel doors and Sitex-style security screens: for higher-risk or medium-term security needs (commercial units or vacant properties).
• Weatherproofing: close-fitting boards, foam seals and temporary flashing where necessary to keep rain out.
• Non-destructive emphasis: we use existing frames, hinge points or internal access to avoid cutting or rebuilding where it’s safe to do so.
• Safety and RAMS: our teams follow Risk Assessments and Method Statements for more complex jobs, especially on roofs and high-level shopfronts.

We take time-stamped photos before, during and after work and provide an itemised invoice plus a short work statement you can give to insurers. Remember to keep any police reference number if the job follows a reported crime.

FAQs

How long will temporary boarding last?

Temporary boarding with 18mm exterior-grade plywood or OSB is suitable for weeks to months. For medium-term security we recommend Sitex-style screens or temporary steel doors—ask about options for vacant property boarding.

Do you damage existing frames when boarding up?

We use non-destructive securing wherever possible, fixing to plaster or internal reveals and using anti-tamper fixings designed to be removed later. If the frame is unsafe or there’s structural damage, we’ll explain the exception and document why a more intrusive fix is needed.

Will you provide paperwork for my insurer?

Yes. We supply time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement. Please keep any police reference number if the job follows a burglary or vandalism.

Do you work out-of-hours in Lyne?

Yes—our mobile teams cover KT16 and surrounding postcodes and can be dispatched out-of-hours for urgent board-ups. For immediate help call our emergency line.
