Emergency Boarding Up in Norbiton

If you need boarding up Norbiton now, our local Kingston team is ready to help. We provide rapid, professional boarding and emergency property securing across Norbiton (covering KT1 and KT2), responding 24/7 to break-ins, smashed windows, storm damage and accidental impact to keep people and property safe.

When you need this

Common reasons Norbiton residents and businesses contact us:

Post-burglary or break-in: secure doors and windows after forced entry.
Vandalism and smashed shopfronts on nearby high streets.
Storm or accidental impact that leaves glazing or doors compromised.
Vacant or void properties needing medium-term security in KT1 / KT2.
Planned short-term works where a safe, insured board-up is required.

We routinely respond around Norbiton landmarks such as Norbiton station, Kingston Hospital and the Kingston town centre (including the Bentall Centre), and to problems on local roads like Cambridge Road and nearby London Road.

How we secure your property

We use non-destructive securing wherever possible and explain any exceptions clearly.

Assessment: a safety and security check of the opening and surrounding structure.
Materials: exterior-grade plywood or OSB (typically 18mm where full security is required; lighter boards for minor repairs), and weatherproof seals for exposed frames.
Fixings: anti-tamper fixings designed not to be easily removed from the outside.
Options: temporary steel doors, Sitex-style or steel security screens for longer-term protection, and shutter/roller coordination for retail premises.
Evidence for insurers: time-stamped site photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement. We recommend you keep any police reference number for claims.

We can provide a board-and-glaze handover with an emergency glazier if you need glazing replacement arranged after the board-up.

Smashed shop window near Kingston High Street (KT2 boundary): cleared glass debris safely, carried out a shopfront boarding with anti-tamper fixings and issued a RAMS summary for the premises manager.
Storm-damaged skylight on a terraced house close to Norbiton station: temporary weatherproofing and OSB boarding to keep the property dry while roofers were scheduled.

Materials & methods (what we use)

Plywood / OSB: exterior-grade panels (commonly 18mm for robust security; alternative thicknesses for smaller openings).
Fixings: coach bolts with anti-tamper heads and secure anchors to the frame or masonry.
Weatherproofing: seals and trims to prevent rain ingress on external openings.
Temporary security: steel doors and Sitex-style security screens for vacant properties or high-risk premises. We aim to secure without permanent damage. If structural work is required (for example after heavy impact), we explain the options and costs before proceeding.

Insurance and paperwork

We support insurance claims by providing:

Time-stamped site photos before, during and after works.
An itemised invoice listing materials and labour.
A short work statement describing the work carried out and any safety notes. Keep your police reference number if the incident was reported to police — this helps speed any claim.

For more detail on claims assistance see our insurance support page.

FAQs

How quickly can you board up a property in Norbiton?

We’re available 24/7 and deploy mobile crews across Kingston. We can’t promise an exact ETA, but we aim for a fast same-day response for urgent incidents — please Call 020 4572 1601 for immediate assistance.

Will boarding up damage my window frames?

Where possible we use non-destructive securing methods that avoid permanent damage. If the frame is structurally unsound or there’s significant impact, we’ll explain why more invasive work is necessary and agree it with you first.

Is boarding up usually covered by insurance?

Many household and commercial policies cover emergency boarding and securing after insured events such as vandalism, storm or burglary. We provide evidence and documentation to support claims — see our insurance support page for steps to take.

Can you board a shopfront on a busy high street?

Yes. We carry out shopfront boarding and can coordinate with shutters or roller doors. We work with managers to minimise disruption and provide RAMS (risk assessment and method statement) where needed — see our shopfront boarding service.
