How we secure your property

We prioritise non-destructive boarding wherever possible and explain any exceptions (for example, when a damaged frame or structural risk means minimal removals are necessary).

What our technicians typically use and do:

• Materials: exterior-grade plywood or OSB (typically 18–24mm depending on the opening and insurer requirements). We discuss material choice with you on site.
• Fixings: anti-tamper fixings designed so they can’t be easily removed from outside. We use coach bolts, security screws and steel backing plates where needed.
• Temporary doors and screens: for larger or repeated-risk openings we can install temporary steel doors or steel security screens (Sitex-style) on a temporary basis.
• Non-destructive approach: boards are fitted to existing frames where possible; we avoid cutting or altering brickwork unless the structure is unsafe and you instruct otherwise.
• Weather protection: for roof or skylight damage we board and weatherproof openings and can arrange tarping or liaise with roofers for a permanent fix.

We take time-stamped photos, provide an itemised invoice and a short work statement for insurers. Keep any police reference number and we’ll include it in our paperwork.

Micro case studies — local examples

• After a late-night break-in to a ground-floor flat close to the Whiteley Village entrance, our team secured the door with a temporary steel option and fitted plywood to the damaged frame the same day. The tenant received time-stamped photos and an itemised invoice for the insurer.
• A small retail unit near Walton High Street suffered a smashed display window after an accidental impact. We cleared glass safely, fitted OSB boarding and recommended a same-day glazier for a permanent replacement.
• Following storm-driven breakage to a skylight on a bungalow near Hersham station, we weatherproofed the opening with OSB and anti-corrosion fixings, then liaised with a local roofer for permanent repairs.
