Emergency Boarding Up in West Horsley

If you need boarding up West Horsley now, our Kingston team can help. We provide local, professional boarding and make-safe work across KT postcodes — including KT24 — for homes, shops and vacant properties, with clear paperwork for insurers and DBS-checked technicians on every job.

When you need this

Common local situations where residents and businesses ask for boarding up West Horsley include:

• Storm or weather damage that has left a broken window or door.
• Post-burglary or break-in boarding to secure the property.
• Accidental impact (vehicle or delivery) to a shopfront or glazed door.
• Vacant property protection where windows or doors are at risk of vandalism.
• Emergency temporary security while you wait for permanent glazing or repairs.

We regularly respond to calls from properties near West Horsley Place, the village green and St Mary’s Church, and from addresses close to Horsley station and Guildford Road.

How we secure properties in West Horsley

We prioritise non-destructive securing wherever possible; we only make permanent alterations if the structure is unsafe or already compromised.

Typical steps we take:

1. Rapid assessment on arrival and safety check (wires, glass, structural risk).
2. Clean-up of loose glass and safe disposal of debris where needed.
3. Temporary boarding using appropriate materials: 12–18mm exterior-grade plywood or 15mm OSB depending on the opening size and location.
4. Secure installation with anti-tamper fixings so boards cannot be removed easily from outside. Where a more robust solution is required, we can fit temporary steel doors or Sitex-style security screens.
5. Time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement for insurers. Keep any police reference number and we’ll note it on your paperwork.

Materials and guarantees

• Window and small frames: typically 12mm exterior-grade plywood or 15mm OSB, cut and sealed to fit.
• Larger openings and doors: 18mm exterior plywood or heavier OSB, plus reinforced fixings.
• Anti-tamper fixings are used as standard; these are designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside.
• Optional temporary steel doors and steel security screens are available for commercial or long-term vacant property security.
• We offer workmanship guarantees where applicable and carry public liability insurance on every job.
