Micro case studies

• House — Walton Heath: after a late-night window smash we boarded the opening with 9mm plywood, added anti-tamper fixings and supplied time-stamped photos for the insurer; the homeowner slept safely that night.
• Shopfront — village high street: same-day shopfront boarding after a weekend vandalism incident, temporary timber boarding and a follow-up liaise with the glazier arranged.
• Rural property — KT20 lane: storm-damaged skylight temporarily boarded with OSB and taped weatherproofing while a roofer was scheduled.

How we secure your property

We use practical, reliable methods designed to be as non-destructive as possible and to meet insurer expectations.

Steps we typically take

1. Rapid assessment on arrival — safety, access, and any hazards (glass, structural issues).
2. Temporary secure boarding or repair — chosen to suit the opening, urgency and length of protection needed.
3. Evidence and paperwork — time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement you can pass to insurers or the police.
4. Options for follow-up — arrange glaziers, roofers or temporary steel doors as required.

Materials and methods

• Windows: typically 9mm exterior-grade plywood or OSB for short-term boarding; thicker boards (12–18mm) for larger openings or longer-term protection.
• Doors: timber boarding using up to 18mm plywood or temporary steel doors for higher-security requirements.
• Fixings: anti-tamper fixings and coach bolts where appropriate so boards can’t be easily removed from outside.
• Security screens & doors: Sitex-style steel security screens or temporary steel doors for vacant commercial premises or long-term void security.
• Weatherproofing: sealed edges, trims or temporary flashing for roof and skylight boarding when required.

Non-destructive first, with clear exceptions We carry out non-destructive securing wherever possible. If there is structural damage (for example severe frame distortion after a vehicle impact, or fire-damaged lintels) we will explain why limited cutting-out or more intrusive work is needed and agree next steps before proceeding.

Insurer-friendly proof We provide the evidence insurers ask for: time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a simple work statement. Please retain any police reference number if you have one.
