When You Need This
Temporary fencing is a fast, flexible way to safeguard people and property while you plan permanent repairs or improvements. Common situations include:
- After a break-in or vandalism where perimeter security is compromised.
- Storm damage boarding and fencing to isolate unsafe areas or fallen trees.
- Fire or flood where sections of a building or garden are unsafe to enter.
- Accidental impact to shopfronts or walls where a safe exclusion zone is required.
- Construction, refurbishment or glazing works needing controlled access and public protection.
- Vacant or void property security to deter trespass, fly-tipping or squatting.
- Events, queues and crowd control around retail units or busy high streets.
We regularly support homeowners, landlords, shop managers and facilities teams across Kingston, Norbiton, Surbiton, New Malden, Tolworth, Hampton Wick, Chessington, Berrylands, Coombe and the wider KT1–KT24 area with out-of-hours boarding up and emergency property securing. When your priority is to make the area safe quickly and reliably, our team can deploy same-day with the right kit and method for your site.
How We Secure Your Perimeter
Every site is different. Our technicians assess the risks and choose the safest, most non-destructive solution that will withstand expected footfall and weather exposure. Typical materials and methods include:
- Anti-climb mesh fencing panels (Heras-style) at approximately 2.0 m high for general site security.
- Heavy-duty rubber or recycled feet to stabilise each panel on hard or soft ground.
- Stabilisers and ballast blocks for wind resistance, especially on corners and gate panels.
- Security couplers and anti-tamper fixings tightened with a specialist spanner to deter removal.
- Anti-lift clips to prevent panels being lifted off feet from outside.
- Lockable pedestrian and vehicle gates with robust hinges and closers for controlled access.
- Pedestrian barriers (crowd-control barriers) for short-term queue control and footpath management.
- Debris netting or privacy screening to reduce dust, contain debris and obscure site contents.
- Temporary OSB/plywood hoarding where privacy and higher security are needed near the public realm.
- Hazard tape, cones and safety signage to clearly mark no-entry zones and protect the public.
Wherever possible, we use non-destructive securing methods so your building, paving or landscaping is not drilled or damaged. There are rare exceptions. For example, if high winds are forecast, if ground conditions are poor, or if a site is particularly sensitive (e.g. steep gradients or uneven surfaces), we may suggest additional anchoring or short-term hoarding posts to maintain safety. We will explain these options plainly before work begins.

FAQs
Do you offer emergency temporary fencing in Kingston at night or weekends?
Yes. We operate 24/7 across Kingston and the KT postcode area. For urgent hazards or post-incident securing, call us any time on 020 4572 1601.
How quickly can temporary fencing be installed?
Most small residential or shopfront perimeters can be installed within 1–3 hours of arrival, depending on length, ground conditions and gate requirements. Larger or complex sites may take longer. We’ll give you a simple plan on arrival.
Will you need to drill into the ground or walls?
We aim for non-destructive securing using rubber feet, stabilisers, ballast blocks and anti-tamper couplers. In high-wind areas, uneven ground or where extra rigidity is essential, we may recommend limited anchoring or short-term hoarding posts. We’ll discuss options with you first.
Can you provide lockable gates and privacy screening?
Yes. We supply temporary pedestrian and vehicle gates with padlock points, plus debris netting and privacy sheeting to obscure contents or reduce dust near public areas.
Is temporary fencing covered by insurance?
Often, yes — especially where it follows a break-in, storm, fire, flood or accident and is required to make the site safe. We provide time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice and a short work statement. Keep any police reference number with your claim. For more details, see our insurance support.
How long can I keep the fencing in place?
From a single day to several weeks or months. We’ll agree the duration, periodic checks if required, and collection arrangements. If your needs change, we can extend or reconfigure the line.
Can you coordinate fencing with boarding up and roof tarping?
Absolutely. We can integrate fencing with 24/7 emergency boarding up and, where relevant, roof or skylight make-safe via our roof & skylight boarding service so the entire site is secured in one visit.
