Emergency boarding up
Put simply, emergency boarding up is rapid board-up after a break-in or damage, measured on site and installed by one team from survey to sign-off.
What you get
The opening is measured at the same visit so the replacement glass can be ordered straight away. If parts are needed, you are told the cost before anything is ordered.
How we handle it
Security is about the whole opening, not just the curtain. We look at the fixings, the lock position, the power supply for electric operation and how your insurer wants the premises secured before we price anything.
Options and specification
- Boarding removed when the glass goes in
- Secures the opening against a second entry
- Measured for replacement glass on the same visit

Allow Same day where we can reach you from drawings to delivery. The install itself rarely takes more than two days for a standard opening. If you cannot close, we can work outside trading hours.
