When you need this

Common situations where residents and businesses in Old Malden call us:

• Break-ins and post-burglary boarding: secure doors and windows after a break-in while you wait for repairs and insurance.
• Vandalism and smashed shop windows on New Malden High Street or local parades.
• Storm damage: blown-in glazing or leaking skylights needing temporary weatherproof boarding.
• Accidental impact: vehicular impact to a shopfront or a falling tree branch breaking panes.
• Vacant property protection: securing an empty flat or house between lets.

We frequently attend incidents near Malden Manor station, New Malden station, and around the High Street and Malden Green. Nearby areas we cover include New Malden, Raynes Park, Worcester Park and Motspur Park.

How we secure your property

We follow a clear, insurance-friendly process and use materials chosen for safety and longevity.

1. Rapid assessment
   • We assess the damage, access and safety on arrival and agree a non-destructive plan where possible.
2. Temporary boarding and fixings
   • Standard boarding: exterior-grade plywood or OSB (typically 9–18mm depending on size and exposure).
   • Fixings: anti-tamper fixings and coach bolts so boards cannot be removed easily from outside.
   • Where required for commercial openings, we offer temporary steel doors and Sitex-style security screens.
3. Weatherproofing and sealing
   • For exposed roofs or skylights we combine boarding with temporary flashing or taping to keep out rain until permanent repairs.
4. Evidence and paperwork for insurers
   • We supply time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement you can pass to your insurer. Keep any police reference number if relevant.

We always try to secure windows and doors without further damage to frames. Non-destructive securing is our standard approach; rare exceptions (for example where a frame is structurally unsafe after a collision or fire) are explained on site and recorded for insurers.

Local micro case studies

• Post-break-in house security (near Malden Manor station, KT3): forced rear door; we fitted a temporary secure door and boarded two windows non-destructively while arranging follow-up glazing.
• Storm-damaged skylight (residential terrace, KT4): boarded and weatherproofed a damaged rooflight, preventing further water ingress until roofers completed repairs.

FAQs

How long does it take to board up a window in Old Malden?

A straightforward ground-floor window can often be boarded in 20–45 minutes after arrival. Larger or high-level openings take longer and may require scaffolding or a cherry-picker.

Is boarding up covered by insurance?

Many household and commercial insurance policies cover emergency boarding and temporary securing after insured incidents. We provide time-stamped photos and an itemised invoice to support your claim, but please check your policy and keep any police reference.

Can you avoid damaging my frames when you board up?

Yes. We use non-destructive securing methods wherever possible. If a frame is badly damaged (for example after a collision), we will explain why a more invasive method or temporary door is required and record it for insurers.

Who do I call for a smashed shop window late at night?

If it’s dangerous, call emergency services first. For boarding and make-safe, Call 020 4572 1601 for immediate assistance from our Kingston team.
