Emergency Boarding Up in Mogador
If you need boarding up Mogador after a break-in, storm or accidental damage, our Kingston team is available to secure properties across the KT20 area quickly and professionally. We understand how unsettling a damaged window, smashed shopfront or forced door can be — our aim is to make your property safe, weatherproof and insurer-ready with a calm, efficient response.
When you need this
Common situations in Mogador where people call us include:
- Post-burglary boarding and emergency securing after a break‑in.
- Broken window board up or smashed shop window repair following vandalism.
- Storm damage boarding and temporary weatherproofing after high winds.
- Accidental impact to doors or shopfronts from deliveries or vehicles.
- Securing vacant or void property while longer‑term works are arranged.

How we secure your property
We use tried-and-tested materials and methods to protect your home or business — non-destructive wherever possible.
Typical steps and materials:
- Site assessment and safety check on arrival (cordon off hazards if needed).
- Temporary boarding using marine‑grade plywood or OSB (commonly 18mm thickness for windows, heavier where required).
- Anti‑tamper fixings that cannot be easily removed from the outside.
- For doors and large openings we can fit temporary steel doors or Sitex‑style security screens if needed.
- Weatherproofing details (silicone/trim, taped seams) for storm-damaged openings.
- Time‑stamped photos, a short written work statement and an itemised invoice for insurance claims.
We prioritise non‑destructive securing — fitting boards to the existing frame or glazing bead — but if a frame is structurally unsafe we’ll explain any necessary removal or stronger temporary works before proceeding.
Local case studies (Mogador, KT20)
- Burglary, residential: After a forced rear door we installed a temporary steel door overnight, supplied time‑stamped photos for the insurer and left a tidy, secure site. The homeowner later used our door‑boarding replacement service.
- Storm damage, shopfront: A high‑wind incident shattered a storefront near Claygate Village Green. We cleared loose glass, boarded the opening with 18mm plywood and arranged a same‑day handover to a glazing partner.
- Accidental impact, residential window: A delivery collision cracked a ground‑floor bay window. We completed an emergency window boarding, sealed against rain and provided a concise invoice for the landlord.

Will boarding up damage my window frames?
We use non‑destructive securing techniques wherever possible, attaching boards to glazing beads or frames. If the frame is already unsafe, we’ll explain any necessary removal or stronger temporary works first.

How much does it cost to board up a window in KT20?
Costs vary by opening size, number of openings, material choice (plywood vs OSB and thickness), height/access, and whether a temporary steel door or security screen is required. See our boarding up prices page for the factors that affect cost.
Can you fit temporary steel doors or security screens for vacant properties?
Yes — we offer temporary steel doors and Sitex‑style security screens for vacant or void property security. For longer‑term solutions and access management see our vacant property boarding in Kingston.
