How we can help right now
Clear pricing discussed before we travel. DBS-checked engineers. Fully insured for domestic and commercial jobs across our coverage area — typically within about 60 miles of London, including many towns and counties beyond the capital. Call with your postcode to confirm same-day dispatch.
Smashed window boarding
Single panes through to large display glass — we board out openings to weatherproof and deter re-entry while you arrange permanent glazing.
Burglary & break-in damage
Forced doors, kicked-in panels, and broken frames need an immediate make-safe. We stabilise openings and align boarding with insurer expectations where possible.
Shopfront & retail emergencies
Roller shutter failures, ram-raids, and overnight glass damage threaten stock and compliance. We prioritise commercial fronts for rapid visible security.
Door boarding & temporary doors
When a door cannot be locked or closed, we install secure temporary solutions so you can leave the property without it standing open to the street.
Storm, fire, or accident damage
Wind-blown debris, impact damage, and post-incident openings all need the same thing: fast, solid boarding until full repairs can be scheduled.
Residential flats & houses
Ground-floor bays, patio doors, and rear extensions — we work carefully in shared buildings and with concierges or neighbours when access is tight.
Commercial & industrial sites
Warehouses, offices, and mixed-use blocks. We coordinate with security staff, alarm companies, and onward locksmiths or glaziers for a joined-up response.

Emergency boarding that converts clicks into calls
This page is for people searching for emergency boarding after a crime, vandalism, or an accident. You need a crew that answers, confirms an ETA, and arrives with timber, sheets, and fixings ready to secure the opening on the first visit.
Ontime Secure covers a wide area — typically within about 60 miles of central London plus many surrounding towns and counties, subject to live dispatch. We combine boarding with related emergency trades so you are not juggling multiple companies in the middle of the night.
SEO and Google Ads friendly structure
Headings, service tiles, FAQs, and clear call-to-action buttons help Google understand relevance and can improve Quality Score for paid campaigns. Visitors immediately see how to reach dispatch — phone, WhatsApp, or contact form for non-urgent follow-up.
When you call, describe the opening size, floor level, and whether glass is still in the frame. Photos by WhatsApp often let us quote more accurately before we travel.
Common questions
- How quickly can you board up my property?
- We target a 30–60 minute response where your postcode is inside our live dispatch radius (typically up to about 60 miles from central London, depending on engineer availability). Traffic, distance, and workload affect the exact ETA — we always give an honest time when you call.
- Will my insurance accept emergency boarding?
- Insurers typically want prompt make-safe after a break-in. Keep photos where safe to do so, crime reference numbers if applicable, and our invoice. We cannot guarantee individual policy wording — check with your broker if unsure.
- Do you replace the glass as well?
- Boarding is the urgent first step. Permanent glazing is usually a follow-up measure once sizes are templated and glass ordered. We can discuss options on site or via our main services pages.
- Can you work with police on scene?
- Yes — we work around forensic and access requirements. Officers may need to finish before certain openings are covered; we follow their instructions for lawful access.
