Making your Southampton property secure is the first priority when you report a damaged door or broken window. There is no call out fee, and in most cases our team will reach you within an hour of your call, at any time of day or night.
Our engineers assess the opening on arrival and choose the most suitable way to secure it. Boarding helps prevent access, keeps out the weather and protects your home or business while permanent repairs are organised. Professional securing may also be relevant to an insurance claim; check your policy for any requirements about the work.
The same visit can include measuring up for replacement glass or a door, avoiding another appointment just to collect dimensions before repairs can be booked. We also provide emergency glazing, window and door repairs and replacements, and emergency locksmith work, allowing one team to help with the follow-up work.
Tell us what has happened, which openings need boarding up and your address in Southampton or the surrounding area.
We’ll give you an instant quote for the boarding-up work you describe.
We’ll arrive within one hour and begin securing the damaged openings.
