Emergency Boarding Up in Tattenham Corner

boarding up Tattenham Corner after a break-in, storm or accidental damage is something we respond to quickly and sensitively. Our Kingston team provides emergency securing across the KT18 area, including fast, professional boarding to make homes, shops and vacant properties safe while you arrange repairs or insurance.

When you need this

Common reasons local customers call us for boarding up Tattenham Corner include:

• Burglary or forced entry at homes near Tattenham Corner Station or properties backing onto Epsom Downs Racecourse (post-burglary boarding up).
• Smashed shop windows on the parade by the station or damage to small retail units after attempted vandalism (shopfront boarding).
• Storm-damaged skylights, rooflights or broken windows on houses around Tattenham Corner Road (storm damage boarding).
• Securing vacant or void properties awaiting refurbishment (vacant property boarding).

We cover emergency boarding up, window boarding, door boarding up and commercial shopfront boarding across the KT18 area. If you’re not sure which solution you need, contact our Kingston team and we’ll advise.

How we secure your property

We focus on non-destructive securing wherever possible and explain any exceptions (for example, where structural damage or safety concerns require temporary removal of a frame). Typical methods we use in Tattenham Corner:

• Plywood / OSB: exterior-grade panels, typically 12mm for most windows and up to 18mm for larger openings or doors. We select the thickness to balance security and temporary weatherproofing.
• Anti-tamper fixings: screws and security bolts designed so they cannot be easily removed from outside.
• Temporary steel doors and steel security screens: for repeatedly targeted premises or long-term vacant properties.
• Sitex-style security screens or anti-vandal security screens for retail units by the station.
• Tarping and temporary weatherproofing for roof or skylight damage before follow-on work by roofers.

Every job includes time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a brief work statement for your insurer. Our technicians are DBS-checked, fully insured with public liability cover, and we offer workmanship guarantees where appropriate.

FAQs

How quickly can you board up my property in Tattenham Corner?

We operate 24/7 for emergency boarding up and aim to get a mobile team out quickly. Availability depends on time of day and local demand—please call 020 4572 1601 to let us know the situation.

Will boarding up damage my window frames or finishes?

We use non-destructive securing wherever possible. If a frame is unsafe or already structurally damaged (for example after a vehicular impact), we’ll explain why a more extensive temporary fix is necessary before we proceed.

Will my insurance cover boarding up?

Many insurers accept emergency boarding as an immediate loss-prevention measure. We supply time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement to support your claim. For more information see our insurance support page.

How long will the boarding stay in place?

Temporary boarding is designed for short- to medium-term protection while repairs are arranged. If longer-term security is needed (vacant property or repeated vandalism) we can recommend durable options such as temporary steel doors or security screens.
