When You Need Boarding Up in Eltham

- Vandalism: Window boarding Eltham for graffiti-covered panels or shattered glass at local businesses.
- Storm damage: Blown-in windows or roof issues in SE12, especially after high winds hitting areas near Severndroog Castle.

How We Secure Your Property in Eltham
Our process is straightforward, efficient, and tailored to Eltham’s properties—from Victorian terraces to modern flats. We aim for non-destructive securing (e.g., no drilling into frames unless structurally required due to damage), using:
- Rapid assessment: Arrive with mobile tools, take time-stamped photos for your insurance claim, and clear glass debris safely.
- Materials selection: 18mm marine-grade plywood or OSB boards cut to size, fixed with anti-tamper screws that can’t be removed from outside. For doors, we offer temporary steel doors where frames are compromised.
- Weatherproof installation: Boards overlapped and sealed against Eltham’s typical rain; steel security screens for longer-term vacant property needs.
- Tidy finish: All waste removed, site left secure and presentable—no mess for you to deal with.
Exceptions for non-destructive methods are rare, like severe frame splintering from a kick-in, but we explain upfront and provide a simple work statement.
