How We Secure Your Property in Penge
Our process for boarding up Penge properties is efficient, safe and tailored to local needs, like quick access around busy Anerley station or narrow Victorian terraces. We aim for non-destructive securing wherever possible, using screws into mortar joints rather than drilling frames (exceptions only for severe structural issues, explained upfront).
- Rapid assessment: Arrive in our equipped vans, assess damage (e.g., window size on a high street shop or roof breach near Sydenham border), and agree a plan—often in under 10 minutes.
- Materials deployment: Fit 18mm marine-grade plywood or OSB boards cut to size, secured with anti-tamper fixings designed to resist external removal. For doors, we install temporary steel doors; shopfronts get heavy-duty boarding compatible with roller shutters.
- Weatherproof and tidy: Seal edges with specialist tape for temporary protection, clear debris safely (vital near Penge’s family areas), and provide photo evidence.
- Insurer-ready handover: Itemised invoice, work statement, and before/after images—keep your police reference number for claims.
In Penge, we’ve secured a SE20 shopfront overnight without disrupting early commuters, and boarded a storm-damaged skylight on a bungalow near the high street using scaffolding for safe height access.
