Boarding up engineer

What’s included in our Sheffield boarding up service?

Making your property secure is our first priority when you report a damaged door or window in Sheffield. Day or night, a member of our team will usually reach you within an hour of your call, with no call out fee.

Our expert engineers inspect the damage on arrival and select a suitable way to secure the opening. Boarding up helps prevent entry, keep out the weather and protect the property’s interior until permanent repairs can be arranged. Experienced professional securing can also matter when making an insurance claim, so check the requirements of your policy.

We can measure for replacement glass or a new door during the boarding-up visit, saving you a separate appointment to measure up before repairs are 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.

Sheffield boarding up FAQs

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

Call 0330 433 9637 for attendance anywhere in Sheffield within 1 hour. Give us your address or postcode and explain which windows, doors or other openings need securing.

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

Yes. You can reach our emergency boarding-up team at any hour, every day of the year. Our 24/7, 365-day service includes bank holidays, weekends and overnight calls.

How much does boarding up cost in Sheffield?

Your quote will reflect how many openings need boarding up and their dimensions. Describe the damaged windows, doors or other openings when you call and we’ll give you an immediate quote for the work.

Can you board up broken windows, doors and shopfronts?

Yes. Homes and commercial premises across Sheffield can use our service for broken windows, damaged doors and shopfronts. Each opening is measured so our engineers can cut and fit the boarding, including for unusual shapes or layouts. Tell us about particularly large openings when arranging assistance.

What materials do you use to board up a property?

For temporary protection, we fit 11mm OSB (Oriented Strand Board), which exceeds recommended industry standards and provides strong protection for damaged openings. Galvanised and perforated steel security options are also available when a property needs stronger protection or securing for longer.

Can I book boarding up without a police referral?

Yes. You can arrange boarding up in Sheffield directly with Rapid Secure. Homeowners, landlords and business owners do not need a police referral after a break-in, criminal damage or an accident.

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

You may not need to attend. Where suitable access is available, some damaged openings can be secured from outside. We’ll discuss how our engineers can access the property during your call and explain whether you need to be present.

Can you arrange repairs after boarding up?

Yes. During attendance, our engineers can inspect the damage and measure up for permanent repairs. We can arrange replacement glazing, lock repairs or replacements, and repairs to windows, doors and their frames.

How long can temporary boarding stay in place?

Temporary boarding protects a damaged property while permanent repairs or longer-term security are organised. For an empty property or a longer period of protection, 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 your property against further damage while an insurance claim progresses. Follow-up repairs can also be arranged, with work completed to the required standard. Tell us about the damage and any instructions your insurer has given you when you call.

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

Yes. Contact us about a company account if you manage several properties or need boarding up regularly in Sheffield or other areas. We can discuss your portfolio and the emergency call-out arrangements you need across your properties.
