Boarding up engineer

What’s included in our Leeds boarding up service?

Getting your Leeds property secure is our first priority when a window is broken or a door is damaged. You can reach us day or night, and in most cases a team member will arrive within an hour of your call. There is no call out fee.

At the property, our expert engineers inspect the damage and choose a suitable way to secure the opening. Boarding up prevents access and keeps the weather out, protecting the interior until permanent repairs can be arranged. Having an experienced team secure the property can also matter for an insurance claim. Check your policy for any requirements.

The same visit can also move your permanent repair forward. Our engineer can measure for replacement glass or a door while securing the damage, avoiding a separate measuring appointment and the wait that comes with it. We also offer emergency glazing, window and door repairs and replacements, and emergency locksmith work, so one team can handle the follow-up work.

Leeds boarding up FAQs

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

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

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

Yes. Our Leeds service runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We attend overnight, at weekends and on bank holidays too.

Which areas of Leeds do you cover?

Our coverage includes all of Leeds, from the city centre to Armley, Beeston, Chapel Allerton, Headingley, Holbeck, Hunslet, Hyde Park and Kirkstall. We also cover Horsforth, Morley, Pudsey and the surrounding areas. These are examples of our coverage; we serve areas beyond this list too.

How much does boarding up cost in Leeds?

The size and number of openings determine the cost 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. Across Leeds, we secure broken windows, damaged doors and shopfronts at both homes and commercial premises. Boarding is cut and fitted to suit each opening, including unusual shapes or layouts. If an opening is particularly large, describe it when you call so we can discuss the work needed.

What materials do you use to board up a property?

For strong temporary protection, we use 11mm OSB (Oriented Strand Board), which exceeds recommended industry standards. We also offer galvanised and perforated steel security options where the property needs stronger protection or a longer-term solution.

Can I book boarding up without a police referral?

Yes. You can book our Leeds boarding-up service directly, without going through the police. Homeowners, landlords and business owners can call after accidental damage, a break-in or criminal damage.

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

You may not need to attend. Where access allows, our engineers can sometimes board up damaged openings from outside. We’ll talk through the access arrangements during your call and explain whether you need to be at the property.

Can you arrange repairs after boarding up?

Yes. While assessing the damage, our engineers can take measurements for permanent repairs. Follow-up work can include replacement glazing, repairs or replacements to locks, and repairs to windows, doors and their frames.

How long can temporary boarding stay in place?

Boarding is a temporary measure to keep the property secure until repairs or longer-term protection are in place. For a building that will stay vacant or needs protection for longer, ask 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 the property against further damage while a claim progresses. We can arrange subsequent repairs to the required standard too. When you call, explain what has happened and share any requirements your insurer has given you.

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

Yes. Company accounts are available for businesses and landlords who need boarding up regularly or manage several properties in Leeds or elsewhere. Call to discuss your portfolio and the emergency call-out arrangements you need.
