Boarding up engineer

What’s included in our Newcastle boarding up service?

A call about a damaged Newcastle window or door starts with one priority, securing the property promptly. In most cases, our team will attend within an hour of your call, day or night, with no call out fee.

Our engineers inspect the damage on arrival and choose how best to secure the exposed openings. Boarding helps prevent entry and keeps the weather away from your home or business while you arrange a permanent repair. Professional securing may also matter to an insurance claim. Check your policy requirements and use an experienced team.

We can measure for replacement glass or a door during the boarding-up visit, saving you a separate appointment to measure up before repairs can be booked. Our team also handles emergency glazing, window and door repairs and replacements, and emergency locksmith work, helping you move from temporary protection to a permanent repair.

Newcastle boarding up FAQs

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

For emergency boarding up, we can reach any Newcastle address within 1 hour of your call. Phone 0330 433 9637 with your address or postcode and a description of the damaged openings.

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

Yes. You can reach our team day or night, including weekends and bank holidays. Newcastle boarding up is available 24/7, 365 days a year.

Which areas of Newcastle do you cover?

Our service covers all of Newcastle and the surrounding areas. Newcastle districts include Benwell, Blakelaw, Byker, Elswick, Fawdon, Fenham, Gosforth, Heaton, Jesmond, Kenton, Newburn, Ouseburn, Scotswood, Walker and Westerhope. Call with the address where you need assistance and we’ll arrange the boarding up.

How much does boarding up cost in Newcastle?

We base your quote on how many openings need boarding and their dimensions, whether they are windows, doors or other damaged areas. Describe the work when you call and we’ll give you an immediate quote.

Can you board up broken windows, doors and shopfronts?

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

What materials do you use to board up a property?

Our boarding uses 11mm OSB (Oriented Strand Board), which exceeds recommended industry standards and gives damaged openings strong temporary protection. We can also supply galvanised and perforated steel security options where greater strength or longer-term protection is required.

Can I book boarding up without a police referral?

Yes. You can book our Newcastle boarding-up service directly as a homeowner, landlord or business owner. 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?

Your presence is not required in every case. If our engineers can reach the damaged openings, they may be able to complete the boarding from outside. We’ll discuss access during your call and let you know whether you need to attend.

Can you arrange repairs after boarding up?

Yes. During the visit, our engineers can inspect the damage and measure up for permanent repairs. Follow-up work can cover replacement glazing, lock repairs or replacements, and repairs to windows, doors and frames.

How long can temporary boarding stay in place?

Temporary boarding protects the property until repairs or a longer-term security solution can be arranged. For premises that will stay empty or require extended protection, speak to us about steel security screens and doors.

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

Yes. Securing exposed openings helps reduce the chance of further damage while your insurance claim progresses. We can arrange subsequent repairs to the required standard too. Tell us about the damage and any instructions or requirements supplied by your insurer.

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

Yes. Landlords and businesses with several properties, or a recurring need for boarding up in Newcastle or elsewhere, can discuss a company account with us. Call to explain your portfolio and the emergency call-out support you need.
