Window board up service

When a window is smashed or broken, it is pivotal that you receive fast window board up service to keep your property secure whilst waiting on new glass to be installed. Whether you have fallen victim to a break in, vandalism or fire damage, we offer quick and efficient professional installation at a time that is convenient to you.

We use a standard OSB (Sterling Board) which is glazed in the frame to either block the gap where the glass is or to protect the glass from damage. In some instances, we will need to have our glazier screw the emergency boarding into the frame directly. This, however, is only usually the case when the boarding up is a permanent one.

There may be another reason you require a temporary boarding up for additional security reasons. These could vary from protest marches, festivals to even predicted storms with strong winds. So, whether the boarding up of your window is a reactive measure or even pre-emptive, our glazing professionals near you will respond promptly and you can often utilise our same day service.

Reasons your property may need boarding up boarding up services

Break-in

If you have suffered a break-in to your business or property, with the entry point being a window or glass door, our boarding up service offers the best alternative whilst you wait for new glass to be ordered and fitted. If you wish for us to source and fit glass for your window, talk to our sales team for a free quote.

Awaiting demolition

Properties that are awaiting permission to be demolished would be recommended to use a boarding up service. This will act as a deterrent to squatters and deter vandalism. Buildings that are also under construction or that are between tenants may want to consider an emergency board up for the same reason.

Damage from events

Additional security reasons may mean that you require a board up by one of our glazing professionals. A protest march could be passing your business, a festival near your property or a strong storm predicted to be hitting your area. Call one of our sales advisors today to take advantage of our boarding up services.
