Emergency Boarding Up in Oatlands

If you need boarding up Oatlands after a break-in, storm damage or accidental breakage, our local Kingston team can secure your property quickly and professionally. We cover Oatlands (KT13) and the surrounding KT postcode area with experienced, DBS-checked technicians and public liability insurance to give you reassurance when it matters most.

When you need this

Burglary or forced entry: doors kicked in, locks compromised or smashed windows after a break-in.
Vandalism and late-night smash-and-grab to shopfronts or ground-floor windows.
Storm or impact damage: blown-in panes, fallen tiles or a damaged skylight.
Accidental damage: vehicle impact to a shopfront or a garden incident that leaves glazing unsafe.
Vacant or void property protection: medium-term security while you arrange repairs or tenant moves.

Common local signs we respond to in Oatlands include smashed glass on Oatlands Drive, broken frames near Oatlands Park and unsecured back doors leading onto Oatlands Road. We also work closely with neighbours and property managers around Weybridge town centre and the local Ridgeway to restore safety quickly.

How we secure your property

We favour non-destructive securing wherever possible and explain all options before we start.

Our usual working steps:

Quick safety check and cordon (if needed), clearing loose glass or hazards.
Time-stamped photos and a short work statement for insurers and the police. Keep your police reference number handy.
Temporary boarding using suitable materials: 9–12mm plywood or OSB for windows and 18mm panels for doors and larger openings. We select materials to balance strength and access.
Fixings: anti-tamper fixings and coach bolts where appropriate so panels cannot be removed easily from outside.
Optional upgrades: temporary steel doors, Sitex-style security screens or roller shutter liaison for commercial properties.
Final tidy, disposal of debris (if arranged) and an itemised invoice with a simple description of works undertaken.

We use anti-tamper fixings designed so they cannot be loosened from outside, and we always label boarded openings with the date and our contact details for peace of mind. Where frames or structure are badly damaged — for example, extensive rot or a compromised lintel after a vehicle impact — we will explain any non-reversible work that may be needed and coordinate with structural or roofing specialists.

FAQs

How quickly can you board up my property in Oatlands?

We operate mobile teams across KT and offer an out-of-hours response. For life-safety or police-referred jobs contact our 24/7 team. For non-urgent work we’ll provide the earliest available appointment and clear guidance.

Will you remove my old boards when repairs are done?

Yes. We can remove temporary boarding when you arrange permanent repairs. Disposal of debris is included if agreed at the time of booking.

Is boarding up covered by insurance?

Many home and commercial insurance policies cover emergency boarding and securing after an insured event. We provide time-stamped photos, a detailed invoice and a short work statement to support your claim — but always check your policy and keep your police reference number.

Do you use steel doors and security screens in Oatlands?

We supply temporary steel doors and Sitex-style security screens where needed, especially for commercial properties or where medium-term security is required. We’ll recommend the least intrusive effective option.

What if the timber frame is too damaged to board non-destructively?

If structural damage prevents a non-destructive solution (for example, a badly splintered door frame or collapsed mullion), we’ll explain the safe, insurer-friendly options and coordinate with relevant trades for permanent repairs.
