How We Secure Your Property
We use proven, insurer-friendly techniques with high-quality materials for temporary protection:
- Rapid assessment: Arrive equipped, assess damage (e.g., frame integrity around a kicked-in door) and agree a non-destructive plan—screws into reveals, not brickwork, unless structural issues require otherwise.
- Materials deployment: 18mm marine-grade plywood or OSB boards cut to size for windows/doors; thicker options for shopfront boarding; anti-tamper fixings prevent external removal.
- Advanced options: Temporary steel doors for high-risk door boarding up; steel security screens for medium-term vacant property boarding Catford.
- Weatherproof finish: Seal edges against rain; tidy site, including glass safe-up; provide time-stamped photos and work statement for your insurance claim.
All work by DBS-checked, public liability insured technicians with 10+ years’ experience. Guarantees apply to workmanship, and we explain any rare destructive needs upfront (e.g., severely compromised frames).
