Emergency Boarding Up in Weybridge
boarding up Weybridge is often needed at short notice after a break-in, vandalism, storm damage or accidental impact. We provide fast, professional boarding up across Weybridge (KT13) with non-destructive securing wherever possible, DBS-checked technicians and public liability insurance for your peace of mind.
When you need this
Common reasons Weybridge residents and businesses call us include:
- Burglary or break-in — smashed doors or kicked-in frames needing immediate secure boarding and temporary doors.
- Vandalism — smashed shopfronts or windows on Weybridge High Street requiring same-day boarding and debris clearance.
- Storm damage — blown-in panes or damaged skylights at homes near the River Wey needing temporary weatherproof boarding.
- Accidental impact — vehicle collisions to shopfronts or garden walls that have left glazing or doors unsafe.
- Vacant or void properties — medium-term boarding and access control for empty houses or flats awaiting works.
We respond across the KT postcode area and know the local spots in Weybridge well: Weybridge Railway Station, Brooklands Museum, Oatlands Park and the High Street and Brooklands Retail Park close by.
How we secure your property
We follow a clear, careful process using materials and methods suited to the situation:
- Rapid assessment on arrival, prioritising safety and preventing further weather or security risks.
- Non-destructive first approach: where possible we fix exterior plywood or OSB panels without altering frames or structure.
- Materials: exterior-grade plywood or OSB (commonly 12–18mm depending on size and insurer requests). For large commercial openings we can install thicker panels or temporary steel security screens.
- Fixings: anti-tamper fixings designed to be secure from the outside; standard coach screws and security bolts where required.
- Temporary doors and screens: for badly damaged entries we offer temporary steel doors and Sitex-style security screens as a longer-term secure option.
- Proof for insurers: we supply time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement — keep any police reference number to support a claim.
We always explain when a non-destructive method isn’t possible (for example where a structural frame is badly damaged) and we advise on next steps such as temporary steel door installation or liaising with a structural or glazing specialist.

FAQs
How quickly can you board up a property in Weybridge?
We operate mobile teams across KT including KT13 and aim for same-day or out-of-hours response when it’s urgent. We never promise a fixed ETA online but will prioritise urgent situations.
Is boarding up covered by insurance?
Many household and commercial policies cover emergency boarding up after an insured event. We provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement to support your claim — keep any police reference number.
Will boarding damage my windows or frames?
We use non-destructive securing wherever possible. If the frame is badly damaged or unsafe, we’ll explain why a more substantial temporary fix (like a temporary steel door) is needed.
What materials do you use?
Typically exterior-grade plywood or OSB (12–18mm) and anti-tamper fixings. For shopfronts or void properties we can supply steel security screens or temporary steel doors.

Yes — from small retailers on Weybridge High Street to larger units around Brooklands, we offer commercial boarding, shutters coordination and safe out-of-hours work with RAMS where needed.
