Emergency Boarding Up in Surbiton

Boarding up Surbiton after a break-in, storm damage or smashed window is stressful — our local team provides fast, professional boarding up Surbiton services across KT5 and KT6 to secure homes, shops and vacant properties. If you need urgent help, we’re available 24/7 and can mobilise trained technicians to make your property safe.

When you need this

• Burglary or break-in: damaged doors, kicked-in frames and smashed glazing need immediate securing to reduce further loss.
• Vandalism or smashed shopfronts on Surbiton High Street or Victoria Road.
• Storm damage or fallen debris making windows or rooflights unsafe.
• Accidental impact (vehicular damage to a shopfront) or large broken panes creating a hazard.
• Empty or void properties that require short-to-medium term security between tenancies.

We cover domestic properties, flats above shops and commercial premises around Surbiton railway station, Surbiton High Street and Seething Wells. Our technicians are experienced with the local layout and typical property types in KT5 and KT6.

How we secure your property

We aim for non-destructive securing wherever possible; that means boarding into existing frames or using removable fixings so timber or glazing can later be repaired without unnecessary damage. Typical methods and materials:

• 18mm exterior-grade plywood or 18–22mm OSB for windows and temporary covers; thicker boards or multi-lock systems for larger openings.
• Anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
• Temporary steel doors or steel security screens for repeatedly targeted or vacant premises.
• Sitex-style security screens and temporary glazing options when extra visibility or ventilation is needed.

We follow safe access and working procedures (RAMS where needed), photograph each stage for insurers, and provide a clear, itemised invoice and a short work statement. If the police attend, keep the reference number — we’ll include time-stamped photos to support any claim.
