Boarding Up Epsom provides boarding up across Ewell, covering Ewell village and West Ewell in the KT17 and KT19 postcodes. A person answers the phone 24 hours a day, and we attend at any hour, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. When you call, we’ll confirm your address is covered and work out an arrival time from your postcode. Call 01372 656234 and have your postcode, the type and size of the opening and, if it’s safe, a few photographs ready.
Getting to you in Ewell
Ewell is reached from the A24 via London Road, Reigate Road and Epsom Road, and the B2200 runs on towards Ewell West. That’s useful to know, but it isn’t a promise of timing. We give you a real arrival estimate on the call, based on where you are and what we’re attending at the time. The van carries boarding stock and fixings, so most openings can be secured on the first visit once we’ve agreed the work.
Older frames and village shopfronts
Ewell has a mix of buildings, and that affects how we board. The council’s conservation appraisal describes artisan cottages and 19th-century terraces on streets such as Kingston Road, alongside Inter-War and later detached and semi-detached homes on London Road, Epsom Road and The Headway. Around the village crossroads and High Street, small cottages sit next to later shopfronts, including 1930s commercial properties at the north end of Epsom Road.
On older timber frames, we use non-destructive fixing where the frame allows, so the opening is secure without adding avoidable damage before the permanent repair. If a frame has been badly split or forced, fixings may not hold properly. In that case, we’ll explain the options before we start, such as securing the door or frame first or fixing to sound masonry, so you can decide with the facts in front of you. For a broken shop window or glazed door on the High Street, see our shopfront boarding. For homes, see our window boarding service.
An example of how a call might go
For example, a typical call might come from someone in an older terrace off Kingston Road whose ground-floor sash pane has been broken overnight. We’d ask for the postcode, the rough size of the opening and whether it can be reached safely from the front path or only from a rear garden. We’d also ask whether any glass is still loose in the frame. On a small opening like that, the usual approach would be to clear and make safe the remaining glass, then fit a cut board, often exterior-grade plywood, typically 18mm, using security fixings set into the frame where it’s sound enough. You’d get a free, clear quote on the call before any work begins.
While you wait
- Keep people and pets away from broken glass and any door or frame that looks unstable.
- Don’t go into premises that feel unsafe, and don’t climb onto roofs or ladders to check damage.
- Photograph the damage only if you can do it safely.
- After a break-in, report it to the police and keep the crime reference number before you contact your insurer.
- Have the postcode and access details ready, such as side gates, parking or upper-floor openings.
What affects your quote
There are no prices on this page because each job is different. The quote depends on the number and size of openings, the height and access involved (upper floors, roofs, skylights, ladders), materials and board thickness, the fixing method, whether a damaged door or frame needs securing first, and how much debris or glass needs making safe.
What you’re left with
When we leave, the agreed openings will be secure. Boarding is a make-safe that keeps the property secure until the glazier or door fitter carries out the permanent repair. You’ll also get an itemised invoice, time-stamped before and after photographs, and a written statement of the work done, ready for your insurance claim. Your insurer decides what’s covered. We’re not loss adjusters or legal advisers. We have over 10 years’ experience, we’re fully insured with a certificate available on request, and we’re DBS-checked.
We also cover Epsom and neighbouring Ashtead.
