Reviews

Hearing from people we’ve already helped is often the most reassuring part of choosing a boarding up company in a hurry. On this page you’ll find a selection of reviews from homeowners, landlords, shop owners and property managers who have used our boarding up services in Redhill and across the wider RH postcode area.

We’ve been providing emergency boarding up, non-destructive securing and follow‑on protection for over 10 years, so most situations you’ll read about here – from burglary damage to storm‑smashed windows – are things we deal with every week.

What Our Customers Say

Below is a representative sample of the feedback we receive. Names are shortened for privacy, but every review is based on a genuine job carried out by our DBS-checked, fully insured technicians.

“Our front bay window in Redhill was smashed during the night. They answered immediately, explained the process and had the whole bay safely boarded up within a couple of hours. The technician was calm, tidy and took photos for our insurer. We felt secure enough to actually sleep after a horrible evening.”

Sarah M, Redhill (RH1)

“We manage several blocks of flats in Earlswood. We’ve used this team for both emergency window boarding and vacant property security and they’ve been consistently reliable. Clear quotes, insurance-ready paperwork, and they always use anti-tamper fixings so our void units stay secure until works are completed.”

Martin L, Property Manager, Earlswood

“Our shop window in Reigate town centre was smashed by vandalism in the early hours. They arrived out of hours, swept up all the broken glass and had the shopfront boarded safely before opening time. Their knowledge of shopfront boarding and dealing with insurers made a stressful situation much easier.”

Ayesha P, Shop Owner, Reigate

“We had a break-in at our semi in Merstham. The back door had been kicked in and wouldn’t close. The engineer fitted a solid temporary secure door and made sure the frame was safe. He talked us through the steps to secure the property after a break-in and left everything clean. The invoice and photos were exactly what our insurer asked for.”

James & Laura, Merstham

“As a landlord with several properties around Horley and Salfords, I need a local boarding up contractor I can trust for fast response at any hour. They’ve boarded smashed windows, secured empty houses between tenants and even fitted temporary steel doors after a fire. Always polite with my tenants and very transparent on costs.”

Clive R, Landlord, Horley & Salfords

“Storm damage took tiles and a skylight off our roof in Bletchingley. They arranged safe access, installed OSB boarding and temporary weatherproofing, then liaised with our roofer for follow-on repairs. Everything was done with health and safety in mind and they explained why some minor drilling was unavoidable on the damaged frame. Very professional.”

Helen D, Bletchingley

“We needed our vacant commercial unit in Oxted secured while it was being marketed. The team advised on Sitex-style steel security screens and a temporary steel door with anti-tamper fixings. Access was easy for viewings, and we had no issues with trespassers or vandalism. Highly recommend for void property security.”

Neil K, Commercial Landlord, Oxted

“My elderly mum in Redhill had her patio door smashed accidentally. The engineer was very patient with her, explained that they’d use non-destructive securing wherever possible, and left the area spotless. They worked perfectly alongside the emergency glazier the next day.”

Emma J, Redhill (RH1)

“Came out late at night to board up a smashed window in our takeaway in Horley. Fast boarding up, no fuss, and they used strong plywood with fixings that can’t be removed from outside. We were able to keep trading safely until the glass was replaced.”

Imran S, Business Owner, Horley

“We had a flood at our ground-floor flat in Nutfield. The team checked swollen door frames, advised about ventilation versus security, and boarded up the worst affected window without damaging the remaining structure. Friendly, clear and very respectful of our home.”

Hannah & T, Nutfield

“Our insurance company needed time-stamped photos and an itemised invoice after a fire at our property near South Godstone. These guys knew exactly what was required. They secured all windows and doors, fitted a temporary steel door and anti-vandal security screens, and provided all the paperwork we needed.”

Richard F, South Godstone

“We look after multiple sites around Redhill and Gatwick Airport and use this firm as our go-to boarding up specialists. They’re used to dealing with facilities management boarding, RAMS, and health and safety requirements. Jobs are always done neatly and on time, whether it’s emergency window boarding or larger shopfront boarding.”

Facilities Manager, RH & Gatwick Area

Why So Many Local Customers Recommend Us

10+ Years’ Experience in Emergency Boarding Up

Over more than a decade, we’ve handled thousands of call-outs involving:

  • Burglary and forced entry
  • Vandalism to shopfronts and homes
  • Storm, fire and flood damage
  • Accidental breakage and vehicular impacts
  • Short- and medium-term vacant property boarding and security screens

This experience means we can quickly assess the safest and most secure way to board up and secure your property with minimal disruption.

Non-Destructive Securing Wherever Possible

Our reviews regularly mention the care we take with existing frames and finishes. Our standard approach includes:

  • Using appropriate thickness plywood or OSB boarding, suited to the opening
  • Fixing from the inside wherever possible, or using anti-tamper fixings designed so boards can’t be easily removed from outside
  • Avoiding damage to uPVC, timber or aluminium frames unless they are already compromised

On the rare occasions we do need to drill into damaged frames (for example after severe impact or fire), we’ll explain why, and keep any additional work to a minimum.

If you’d like to know more about techniques and materials, our main boarding up services in Redhill page gives more detail.

Fully Insured & DBS-Checked Technicians

Security and trust are essential, particularly when you’re letting someone into your home or business late at night. All our boarding up specialists:

  • Are DBS-checked
  • Work under public liability insurance
  • Follow safe working practices, especially when working at height or near public footpaths
  • Leave the site tidy, removing broken glass and loose debris where safe to do so

Support with Insurance Claims

Several reviewers mention how we helped with their insurance. While we are not loss adjusters or legal advisers, we can make the process easier by providing:

  • Time-stamped photos of the damage and completed boarding up
  • An itemised invoice stating labour, materials and emergency call-out
  • A simple statement of works carried out (for example, “emergency window boarding and temporary secure door following burglary”)

If your situation involves burglary or vandalism, it’s important that you keep any police reference number you receive. You can also read more about how we assist on our insurance support for boarding up in Redhill page.
