Emergency Boarding Up in Stoneleigh
If you need boarding up Stoneleigh, we’re a local team ready to secure homes, shops and empty properties across the area. We cover Stoneleigh and nearby KT postcode districts including KT4, KT17 and KT19, responding 24/7 for urgent make-safe work and offering planned boarding and void-property security.
When you need this
Common reasons Stoneleigh residents and businesses call us:
- Broken or smashed windows on Stoneleigh Broadway after vandalism or a break-in — same-day emergency boarding and safe glass clearance.
- Forced doors or kick-ins at houses near Stoneleigh station or Ewell Court — temporary secure doors or door boarding up Stoneleigh while permanent repairs are arranged.
- Shopfront damage to small retail parades and trading units — rapid shopfront boarding Stoneleigh to protect stock and premises.
- Vacant flats and houses awaiting letting or sale — vacant property boarding Stoneleigh to reduce risk of vandalism and unauthorised entry.
- Storm or accidental impact to windows, skylights or rooflights — temporary weatherproofing and boarding pending roofer/glazier repairs.
We regularly work in the streets around Stoneleigh Broadway, near Stoneleigh railway station, and by local green spaces such as Nonsuch Park. Nearby areas we cover include Ewell, Epsom, Tolworth and Worcester Park, and we operate across the KT postcode area (KT1–KT24).
How we secure your property
Our priority is a safe, insurance-friendly, non-destructive securement wherever possible.
- Site assessment: we check safety (structural risk, glass hazards, electrics) and take photos for you and insurers.
- Non-destructive boarding: we use 18mm exterior-grade plywood or 18mm OSB for windows and 18–22mm for larger shopfront panels. Panels are fitted to avoid unnecessary damage to frames where possible.
- Fixings: anti-tamper fixings are used to prevent easy removal from the outside, and where appropriate we use security screws or coach bolts set into timber packers.
- Temporary doors & screens: for larger breaches we can fit temporary steel doors or steel security screens (Sitex-style) to a secure threshold — ideal where a permanent replacement will take time.
- Weatherproofing: timber boarding is sealed around openings, and for roof or skylight incidents we can board and temporarily weatherproof while arranging follow-on roofing works.
- Evidence for insurers: we supply time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a short work statement. Please keep any police reference number if one was issued.
- Exceptions: in rare cases of severe structural damage (e.g., unsafe lintels or collapsed frames) we may need to carry out works that are necessarily more invasive — we will explain options and get written consent before proceeding.
If you need a glazing follow-up, we can coordinate with emergency glaziers to provide a board-and-glaze option so the property is both weatherproof and secure.

FAQs
How quickly can you board a broken window in Stoneleigh?
We operate 24/7 for emergencies and aim to mobilise a mobile team rapidly. Response times depend on location and time of day, but we prioritise urgent jobs near Stoneleigh Broadway, local stations and high-traffic roads in KT4, KT17 and KT19.
Will boarding damage my window or frame?
We use non-destructive securing wherever possible. Standard board installations use exterior-grade 18mm plywood or OSB fixed with anti-tamper screws set to avoid damage to good frames. If a frame is already compromised we’ll explain the options and only carry out more invasive works if necessary and agreed.
Is boarding up covered by insurance?
Many household and commercial policies will cover emergency boarding up after incidents such as burglary, vandalism or storm damage. We provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement to help with claims — keep your police reference if one was issued. For detailed claim advice please consult your insurer; we’re not loss adjusters or legal advisors.
