Boarding up engineer

What’s included in our Manchester boarding up service?

When you call Rapid Secure about a broken window or damaged door in Manchester, our priority is to make your property secure as quickly as possible. In most cases, a member of our team will be with you within an hour of your call, whatever the time of day or night, with no call out fee.

Once on site, our expert engineers will assess the damage and decide on the best way to secure your property. This stops anyone getting in, keeps the weather out and protects the inside of your home or business while a permanent repair is planned. Professional securing can also make a difference to an insurance claim, so it’s worth checking your policy and having the work carried out by an experienced team.

While we’re on site, our engineer can take all the measurements needed for your replacement glass or door. That means there’s no need to arrange a separate visit to measure up, and no extra waiting around before the repair can be booked in. We can help with emergency glazing, window and door repairs and replacements, and emergency locksmith work, so everything is put right by one team.

Manchester boarding up FAQs

How quickly can you attend for emergency boarding up in Manchester?

We can be on site anywhere in Manchester within 1 hour of your call. Call 0330 433 9637, tell us what needs securing and give us your address or postcode.

Is your Manchester boarding-up service available 24 hours a day?

Yes. We provide emergency boarding up 24/7, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and bank holidays.

Which areas of Manchester do you cover?

We cover the whole of Manchester, including Ancoats, Chorlton, Didsbury, Fallowfield, Hulme, Levenshulme, Northenden and Withington. We also serve surrounding areas, including Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Eccles, Oldham, Prestwich and Rochdale. If your area isn’t listed, call us and let us know where you need us.

How much does boarding up cost in Manchester?

The cost depends on the number and size of the damaged windows, doors or other openings that need securing. Call us to describe the damage and we’ll provide an immediate quote for the work.

Can you board up windows, doors and shopfronts?

Yes. We board up damaged windows, doors and shopfronts at residential and commercial properties across Manchester. Our engineers cut and fit the boarding to each opening, including unusual sizes and layouts. For particularly large openings, call us to discuss what needs securing.

What materials do you use to board up a property?

We use 11mm OSB (Oriented Strand Board) which exceeds recommended industry standards, providing strong temporary protection for damaged openings. Where an even stronger or longer-term protection is needed, we can also provide galvanised & perforated steel security options.

Can I book boarding up without a police referral?

Yes. Homeowners, landlords and business owners can call us directly after a break-in, criminal damage or accidental damage. You do not need a police referral to book our Manchester boarding-up service.

Do I need to be at the property when you attend?

Not always. In some cases, our engineers can secure damaged openings from outside, provided they have access to the areas that need boarding up. When you call, we’ll discuss access arrangements and confirm whether you need to be there.

Can you arrange repairs after boarding up?

Yes. Our engineers can survey the damage and take measurements to help arrange permanent repairs. These can include replacement emergency glazing, lock repairs and replacements, and window and door repairs and replacements.

How long can temporary boarding stay in place?

Boarding up is intended to secure your property temporarily while repairs or longer-term protection are arranged. If your property will remain vacant or needs extended protection, contact us about steel security screens and doors.

Can you help with boarding up as part of an insurance claim?

Yes. Emergency boarding up helps secure your property and reduce the risk of further damage while your insurance claim is being dealt with. We can also arrange follow-up repairs, with work carried out to the required standard. Call us to discuss the damage and any requirements your insurer has provided.

Can businesses and landlords set up a boarding-up account?

Yes. If you manage multiple properties or regularly need boarding-up services in Manchester or elsewhere, call us to discuss a company account. We’ll talk through your requirements for emergency call-outs across your properties.
