How we secure your property

We use methods that protect your property and claim requirements while keeping work non-destructive wherever possible.

What we typically do:

Assess the damage and any safety hazards (loose glass, unstable frames).
Temporary boarding with quality materials: exterior-grade plywood or OSB boards (typically 9mm–18mm depending on the opening and insurer requirements).
Anti-tamper fixings fitted so boards cannot be removed from the outside; where possible we use coach bolts or security screws that avoid damaging original frames.
Optional temporary steel doors or steel security screens for shopfronts and vacant properties requiring medium-term protection.
Weatherproofing for roof or skylight damage using OSB/ply and temporary waterproof membrane before permanent roofing works.

We aim for non-destructive securing wherever possible. If structural damage or unsafe frames require more invasive work, we explain why and agree next steps with you and (if relevant) your insurer.

Micro case studies — local examples

Tadworth High Street (residential): After a late-night break-in at a ground-floor bay window, we boarded and secured the window with plywood and anti-tamper fixings the same day, supplied photos for the insurer and arranged a trusted glazier for permanent glazing.
Reigate Road (accidental impact): A delivery van damaged a shopfront late evening. We cleared hazards, fitted temporary steel plates across the frame and stabilised the shopfront overnight for safe reopening the next morning.
Near Tadworth railway station (storm damage): Strong winds dislodged a skylight on a maisonette roof. We secured the opening with OSB and a temporary cover, preventing further water ingress until roofing contractors completed repairs.

FAQs

How quickly can you board up my window in Tadworth?

We offer same-day response for most urgent calls in KT20. For out-of-hours emergencies use our 24/7 line. We don’t give fixed ETAs online but mobilise local technicians quickly.

Is boarding up covered by insurance?

Many home and commercial policies cover emergency boarding up after insured events. We provide the paperwork insurers typically require — photos, itemised invoice and a work statement — but we aren’t loss adjusters. Contact your insurer for confirmation.

Will boarding up damage my frames or brickwork?

We use non-destructive securing wherever possible. Anti-tamper fixings are designed to be secure from the outside but installed to minimise damage. If frames are unsafe we’ll explain and agree any necessary intrusive work first.

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

For urgent shopfront incidents call our emergency line. We offer out-of-hours boarding and temporary steel door or plate solutions until permanent glazing can be arranged.

Can you secure a vacant house in KT20 for medium-term protection?

Yes. For vacant property boarding Tadworth we offer Sitex-style screens or temporary steel doors depending on how long the property will be empty and the level of security needed.
