Boarding up engineer

What’s included in our Leicester boarding up service?

Getting your Leicester property secure is our first priority when a window breaks or a door is damaged. You can contact Rapid Secure at any hour, with no call out fee. In most cases, a member of our team will arrive within an hour of your call to carry out the boarding-up work.

Our engineers begin by checking the damage and choosing how best to secure the opening. Boarding up prevents access, keeps out the weather and protects the interior until a permanent repair can be made. Having an experienced team secure the property may also help with an insurance claim; check your policy for any requirements that apply.

During the boarding-up visit, our engineer can measure for replacement glass or a new door, saving a separate measuring appointment and helping you arrange the next stage sooner. The same team can assist with emergency glazing, window and door repairs and replacements, and emergency locksmith work to put the damage right.

Leicester boarding up FAQs

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

Call 0330 433 9637 with your Leicester address or postcode and details of the damage. We can attend anywhere in the city within 1 hour of your call.

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

Yes. Our Leicester service operates every hour of every day, 365 days a year. That includes overnight calls, weekends and bank holidays.

Which areas of Leicester do you cover?

Our service covers all of Leicester, including Belgrave, Clarendon Park, Evington and the city centre. We also cover Glenfield, Kirby Muxloe, Leicester Forest East, Enderby and Narborough. We serve other surrounding areas too; tell us where assistance is needed when you call.

How much does boarding up cost in Leicester?

The size and number of openings determine the price of the work. Describe the damaged windows, doors or other openings when you call and we’ll give you an immediate quote.

Can you board up broken windows, doors and shopfronts?

Yes. We secure broken windows, damaged doors and shopfronts at homes and businesses throughout Leicester. Each board is cut and fitted to suit the opening, including non-standard shapes and sizes. Please describe particularly large openings when you call so we can discuss the work needed.

What materials do you use to board up a property?

Our 11mm OSB (Oriented Strand Board) exceeds recommended industry standards and provides strong temporary protection for damaged openings. For stronger protection or security over a longer period, we can supply galvanised and perforated steel security options too.

Can I book boarding up without a police referral?

Yes. You can book our Leicester boarding-up service directly as a homeowner, landlord or business owner. Simply call after a break-in, criminal damage or an accident; a police referral is not required.

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

You may not need to attend if our engineers can reach and secure the damaged openings from outside. We’ll discuss access during your call and explain whether your presence is required for the work.

Can you arrange repairs after boarding up?

Yes. While assessing the damage, our engineers can take measurements for permanent repairs. We can arrange replacement glazing, lock repairs or replacements, and repairs to damaged doors, windows and frames.

How long can temporary boarding stay in place?

Temporary boarding protects the property while you organise repairs or a longer-term security solution. For a building that will stay vacant 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 protect your property against further damage while a claim is processed. We can arrange the follow-up repairs too, with work completed to the required standard. When you call, explain the damage and any instructions your insurer has given you.

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

Yes. Company accounts are available for landlords and businesses that manage several properties or need boarding up regularly in Leicester and elsewhere. Call to discuss your portfolio and the emergency call-out support your properties require.
