What We Board Up
We secure openings after break-ins, accidents and bad weather, and board empty buildings. As an example, picture a terrace near Gresham Road where a back door's been kicked and the frame has split, or a café on Church Street with a cracked front pane found at closing time. We'd make the glass and debris safe and secure the opening. That buys you time to get the right glazier or joiner in for a proper permanent repair.
Burglary and Forced Entry
We secure damaged doors, frames and locks and board broken glass. Report the break-in to the police, keep the crime reference number, contact your insurer and photograph the damage if it's safe to.
Fire-Damaged Property
Once the fire service has handed the site back, we board the openings to keep out rain and unwanted visitors. Smoke and odour clean-up sits with specialists.
Weather and Accidents
Wind-blown debris, a dropped ladder or a cracked skylight can let the weather straight in. We board windows, roof openings and rooflights to keep the inside dry.
Empty and Void Buildings
Landlords, agents and executors call us to board the windows and doors of houses, flats and commercial units while they're unoccupied.
Proper Materials,
Fitted With Care
We usually fit exterior-grade plywood, typically 18mm, and use OSB on smaller openings. Security anti-tamper fixings make the boards harder to remove from outside. Much of Staines' surviving historic building stock is 19th century. Where a frame is sound we fix in a way that limits further damage, and if it's too far gone we'll run through your options before starting. We're fully insured, with the certificate available on request, and DBS-checked. For your claim you'll get an itemised invoice, time-stamped before and after photographs and a written statement of what we did. The insurer makes the decision on cover, and we're not loss adjusters, but the paperwork provides a record of the work.
Three Simple Steps
Ring and Describe the Damage
Tell us your postcode and what's happened. We'll ask about the number and size of openings, the height and access, and whether a door or frame needs securing first.

We Board and Secure
We clear the glass and debris, fix the boards, take the photographs and leave you with the paperwork for your insurer.
Shopfronts, Offices
and Business Premises
A smashed display window or a forced rear door can shut a business until it's dealt with. We board shops, offices, restaurants and warehouses around Market Square, the High Street and out across Egham and Ashford, keeping the boarding tidy so your premises doesn't look abandoned while replacement glass is arranged. Large panes, upper-floor windows and awkward access all shape the quote, so we'll talk them through with you on the phone.

"Someone had smashed the glass in our patio door and tried the lock while we were at my sister's. I phoned near midnight half expecting an answering machine, but got a person who went through everything calmly and gave me the quote there and then. The board went on with screws you can't undo from outside, and he swept the glass out of the rug too. The photos and written statement made the insurance call much easier."
"One of the big panes on our shop went in the early hours. They boarded it cleanly, kept the entrance usable and didn't make a mess of the frame, which the glazier pointed out when he came to measure up. Every item was listed on the invoice, so there was no back and forth with the insurer about what had been done."
