How we secure your property
We prioritise non-destructive securing but will use stronger measures only when necessary (for example where frames are badly damaged or unsafe). Typical methods and materials:
- Window boarding: exterior-grade plywood or OSB, usually 9–12mm thickness for windows, cut to size and secured with anti-tamper fixings designed to resist removal from outside.
- Door boarding and temporary doors: 18mm exterior plywood for panel doors, or fitted temporary steel doors where insurer or security needs require a stronger, longer-term solution.
- Shopfronts: timber boarding for small broken panes; Sitex-style or steel security screens and roller-shutter coordination for larger openings.
- Roof & skylight boarding: OSB/plywood boarding and temporary weatherproofing where access allows; we liaise with roofers for long-term repairs.
On arrival we:
- Make the scene safe, cordon-off hazards and remove loose glass if needed.
- Take time-stamped photos and make a short, itemised work statement for your insurer.
- Install non-destructive boarding where possible, using anti-tamper fixings; if structural work is needed we explain why and record it.
- Provide a tidy sign-off, invoice and guidance for next steps (glazing, carpentry, or insurance).
We carry public liability insurance, our technicians are DBS-checked, and we offer guarantees on workmanship where applicable.
