How we secure your property
Our approach is to secure your property quickly while keeping disruption to a minimum.
- Initial assessment and risk control on arrival (safety cordon if needed).
- Non-destructive boarding wherever possible — we prefer to fix from inside the frame and use existing fittings so you don’t lose window or door frames unnecessarily.
- Materials and methods:
- Plywood or OSB boarding using 12mm–18mm panels depending on the opening and insurer guidance.
- Anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
- Temporary steel doors or steel security screens for shopfronts or repeatedly targeted premises.
- Sitex-style or anti-vandal security screens for vacant commercial units where required.
- Glazing liaison: if you need both boarding and glazing, we can board first and arrange follow-up board & glaze work with reputable glaziers.
- Proof for insurers: time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a concise work statement. Keep any police reference number and we’ll include it in our paperwork.
- Clean-up: we’ll clear loose glass and make the area safe. If structural repair is required (rare), we explain next steps and liaise with roofers or builders.
We carry public liability insurance, every technician is DBS-checked, and workmanship comes with a guarantee where applicable.
