Boarding up engineer

What’s included in our Nottingham boarding up service?

Getting your Nottingham property secure is our first priority when a window breaks or a door is damaged. With no call out fee, we can attend at any time of day or night. In most cases, our team reaches you within an hour of your call.

Our engineers inspect the damage on arrival and choose a suitable way to secure the opening. Boarding up helps prevent access, keep out the weather and protect 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.

To help move the repair forward, our engineer can measure for replacement glass or a door during the boarding-up visit. This avoids another appointment just to measure up. We also provide emergency glazing, window and door repairs and replacements, and emergency locksmith work, allowing one team to handle the follow-up work.

Nottingham boarding up FAQs

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

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

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

Yes. Our Nottingham service operates 24/7, 365 days a year. You can arrange emergency boarding up overnight, at weekends and on bank holidays.

Which areas of Nottingham do you cover?

Our coverage extends across Nottingham, including the city centre, Hockley, the Lace Market, Sherwood, Basford, Lenton, Radford and Wollaton. We also cover nearby Beeston, Arnold and West Bridgford. We serve other surrounding areas too; call us with the location of the property to arrange help.

How much does boarding up cost in Nottingham?

The size and number of openings determine the cost of the boarding-up work. Tell us about 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. At homes and commercial premises throughout Nottingham, we secure broken windows, damaged doors and shopfronts. Each board is cut and fitted to the opening, including non-standard shapes and sizes. If the opening is particularly large, describe it to us when you call.

What materials do you use to board up a property?

For strong temporary protection, we fit 11mm OSB (Oriented Strand Board), which exceeds recommended industry standards. We can also supply galvanised and perforated steel security options when an opening requires stronger protection or needs securing for longer.

Can I book boarding up without a police referral?

Yes. You can book our Nottingham boarding-up service directly as a homeowner, landlord or business owner. Following a break-in, criminal damage or an accident, simply call us; there is no need for 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 opening from outside, they can sometimes complete the boarding up without you there. We’ll discuss access during your call and explain whether your presence is needed.

Can you arrange repairs after boarding up?

Yes. During the visit, our engineers can assess the damage and measure up for permanent repairs. We can help with replacement glazing, lock repairs and replacements, and repairs to windows, doors and frames.

How long can temporary boarding stay in place?

Temporary boarding protects the property while you arrange repairs or a longer-term security solution. For an empty property or an opening that needs 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 damaged openings helps limit further damage while an insurance claim progresses. We can also organise follow-up repairs to the required standard. Let us know what has happened and share any requirements from your insurer when you call.

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

Yes. Landlords and businesses managing several properties, or needing regular boarding up in Nottingham and elsewhere, can discuss a company account with us. Call to explain your portfolio and how you need emergency call-outs handled.
