Emergency Boarding Up in West Byfleet
If you need boarding up West Byfleet right now, we provide fast, local emergency boarding up and property securing across KT14.

When you need this
Common situations for emergency boarding up West Byfleet include:
- Burglary or forced entry to a house on Station Approach or surrounding streets.
- Smashed shopfronts along High Road West Byfleet or broken windows after vandalism.
- Storm damage to windows, doors or skylights on residential streets in KT14.

We cover domestic and commercial needs in and around West Byfleet (KT14), including shops, flats above shops, semi-detached homes and small business units.
How we secure your property
We aim for non-destructive securing wherever possible and will always explain any exception (for example, where structural damage means a frame must be altered). Typical methods and materials we use:
- Exterior-grade plywood or OSB boarding — commonly 18mm exterior plywood for windows and thicker where required for doors or large openings.
- Anti-tamper fixings designed so they cannot be removed easily from the outside.
- Temporary steel doors or steel security screens when a higher level of short-to-medium-term security is required.
- Sitex-style and anti-vandal security screens for shopfronts where appropriate.
- Tidy, labelled work and a clear on-site RAMS approach for any commercial or high-access jobs.
All work is done by DBS-checked technicians and covered by public liability insurance. We provide a workmanship guarantee and will advise on next steps such as replacing glazing or fitting a permanent door.

- Post-burglary door boarding on Station Approach: after police attended, we installed a temporary secure door and provided time-stamped photographs and an itemised invoice for the insurer.
