Overview

Protect your business fast with retail window boards

Any time your premises are opened up — a ram raid, a smashed display window, storm damage — the clock starts on both your stock and your insurance position. Our 24-hour control centre and quick response mean the building is made secure again in no time.

We work fast, and we board to a standard that resists entry. Boards are fixed properly into the frame or reveal, not propped or taped, because a board that can be pulled off in ten seconds is worse than useless.

Why businesses call us first

  • Surrey Police approved contractor. Trusted on the jobs where the police are already in attendance.
  • Insurance approved. Approved contractor status with many major insurers, and the documentation your claim will need.
  • Health and safety compliant. Safe working practices on every site, with RAMS available on request.
  • Fast, friendly, efficient staff. Glaziers who turn up when they say they will and treat your premises with respect.

Broken windows? No problem

Accidental breakages, vandalism, attempted entry, weather damage — the reasons for needing commercial boarding up are endless. Where we can, we'll fix or replace the broken glass instead, because that's the better outcome for you.

Where the damage is too severe to make good immediately, or the building is vacant or derelict, boarding up is the fast and effective answer. We'll tell you honestly which one you need.

A leading commercial boarding up company

With over 20 years in the Surrey and South West London emergency glazing industry, we treat every commercial boarding job as an emergency, because for the business involved it is one. Across Richmond, Epsom, Twickenham, Putney and beyond, our team won't let you down.

Boards can stay in place as long as you need. When you're ready for glass, we remove them, make good and glaze — one company, one invoice, no coordination for you to do.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you board up our shop?

We aim to be on site within the hour of your call, 24 hours a day. Boarding a standard shop window typically takes under an hour once we're there.

Will boarding up invalidate our insurance?

The opposite — most commercial policies require you to take reasonable steps to secure the premises after damage. Prompt, properly fitted boarding is exactly that, and we can supply timestamped photographs and an invoice for your insurer.

Can you board up and keep the shop trading?

Often, yes. If the damage is to a display window rather than the entrance we can usually secure it while leaving access clear. Where the door itself is gone we'll discuss the options with you on site — sometimes a same-day glass replacement is the faster route to reopening.

How long can boards stay up?

As long as you need. Many clients board for a few days while a unit is manufactured; vacant and derelict properties are sometimes boarded for months. We'll come back and glaze whenever you're ready.

Do you clear away the broken glass?

Yes. Clearing and safely disposing of broken glass is part of the job, not an extra. We leave the area safe to walk on.
