Boarding up engineer

What’s included in our Bristol boarding up service?

Getting your Bristol property secure is our first priority when you report a broken window or damaged door. In most cases, our team can attend within an hour of your call, day or night. There is no call out fee.

Our expert engineers assess the damaged openings on arrival and choose how best to secure them. Boarding up keeps intruders and the weather out while protecting your belongings until permanent repairs can be arranged. Experienced professional securing may also help with an insurance claim; check your policy for any requirements that apply to the work.

During the same visit, our engineer can measure up for replacement glass or a door, avoiding a separate measuring appointment before repairs can be booked. We also provide emergency glazing, window and door repairs and replacements, and emergency locksmith work, so everything is put right by one team.

Bristol boarding up FAQs

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

Our team can reach any Bristol address within 1 hour of your call. To arrange help, phone 0330 433 9637 with your address or postcode and explain which openings need boarding up.

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

Yes. You can reach us at any hour, every day of the year. Our Bristol emergency boarding-up service runs 24/7, 365 days a year, including bank holidays and weekends.

Which areas of Bristol do you cover?

We serve all of Bristol and the surrounding areas, including Avonmouth, Bedminster, Brislington, Clifton, Cotham, Fishponds, Harbourside, Hotwells, Redcliffe, Redland, Shirehampton, Southmead and Stokes Croft. We also cover areas beyond this list; call us with the location where assistance is needed.

How much does boarding up cost in Bristol?

Your quote reflects how many openings need boarding up and their size, whether they are windows, doors or another damaged part of the property. Describe the damage when you call and we’ll give you an immediate quote.

Can you board up broken windows, doors and shopfronts?

Yes. Our Bristol service secures damaged shopfronts, doors and windows at homes and commercial premises. We cut and fit boarding to suit each opening, including non-standard shapes and sizes. If an opening is particularly large, describe it when you call so we can discuss the work required.

What materials do you use to board up a property?

For temporary protection, we fit 11mm OSB (Oriented Strand Board), which exceeds recommended industry standards and provides a strong barrier across damaged openings. Where greater strength or longer-term protection is required, galvanised and perforated steel security options are also available.

Can I book boarding up without a police referral?

Yes. Call Rapid Secure directly to book boarding up in Bristol following accidental damage, a break-in or criminal damage. Homeowners, landlords and business owners can all arrange the service without a police referral.

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

You may not need to attend. Where our engineers can reach the damaged openings from outside, some properties can be secured without you being present. We’ll discuss access during your call and explain whether someone needs to meet the team.

Can you arrange repairs after boarding up?

Yes. We can assess the damage and measure up during the boarding-up visit to help organise permanent repairs. Follow-up work can cover replacement glazing, damaged windows, doors and frames, plus lock repairs or replacements.

How long can temporary boarding stay in place?

Temporary boarding protects an opening while you arrange repairs or a longer-term security solution. For a property that will stay empty or needs protection for an extended period, speak to us about steel security screens and doors.

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

Yes. Securing damaged openings helps limit further damage while an insurance claim is progressing. We can arrange follow-up repairs carried out to the required standard too. When you call, explain the damage and pass on any requirements supplied by your insurer.

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

Yes. A company account can support landlords and businesses managing several properties or needing regular boarding-up assistance in Bristol and elsewhere. Call us to discuss your portfolio and how emergency call-outs across your properties should be handled.
