How we secure your property
We use tried-and-tested materials and methods selected for speed, security and insurance acceptance:
- Materials: exterior-grade plywood or OSB boards (commonly 9–18mm depending on the opening and duration), treated for weather resistance where required.
- Fixings: anti-tamper fixings and coach bolts to prevent easy removal from outside; where appropriate we line fixings to avoid damage to frames.
- Non-destructive principle: we secure windows and doors without permanent structural alteration wherever possible. If a frame has failed or there is significant structural damage we will explain why a more invasive repair is needed and discuss alternatives.
- Temporary options: temporary steel doors, Sitex-style security screens or steel security shutters for higher-risk commercial premises.
- Weatherproofing: for storm or roof/skylight work we combine boarding with temporary sealing to keep the property dry until permanent repairs are arranged.
- Evidence for insurers: time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a simple work statement — keep any police reference number and we’ll add our paperwork to your file.
All work is carried out by DBS-checked technicians with public liability insurance. We offer workmanship guarantees where applicable and a clear handover note for insurers and property managers.
