Looking for a Company to Board Up Windows and Doors
1. How quickly can you respond to an emergency boarding-up request?
We typically respond to emergency boarding-up requests within 20 minutes in central London and surrounding areas. Our 24-hour emergency team is always ready to dispatch, ensuring your property is secured as quickly as possible, regardless of the time of day or night.
2. What materials do you use to board windows and doors?
For most boarding-up requirements, we use industry-standard 18mm exterior-grade plywood, which provides excellent security and weather protection. Depending on your specific situation, we also offer steel security panels or specialised anti-vandal board systems for higher security needs.
3. Do you offer 24/7 emergency boarding-up services?
Yes, our boarding-up services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We understand that emergencies don't follow business hours, so our team is always ready to respond to emergencies anytime.
4. What is the typical cost range for boarding a standard window or door?
In most cases, we can provide a quote before arriving, but sometimes, we'll need to assess the situation first to determine precisely what's required. Our pricing includes labour, materials, and VAT - with no expensive call-out fees to worry about! You'll always receive clear, transparent pricing for our boarding-up services.
5. How long will the boarding-up solution remain secure before it needs to be replaced with permanent repairs?
Our boarding-up solutions are designed to stay safe for several months if required, though we recommend arranging permanent repairs within 2-4 weeks. The exact duration depends on weather conditions and the specific materials used.
6. Do you also offer permanent repair services after boarding up?
We provide comprehensive repair and replacement services for windows and doors after emergency boarding. This includes glazing services, door installations, frame repairs, and lock replacements to fully restore your property's security and appearance.
7. Are your boarding-up services insurance-approved?
Yes, our boarding-up services meet insurance company requirements, and we work directly with most major insurance providers. We provide detailed documentation and photographs that can be submitted with your claim and can liaise with your insurer directly if necessary.
8. Do you work with both residential and commercial properties?
Yes, we service both residential and commercial properties across North London. Our team has experience securing everything from private homes to retail shops, offices, industrial units, and vacant properties awaiting development.
9. Will the boarding-up solution be weather-resistant?
Absolutely. All our boarding-up solutions are installed with weather protection in mind, using water-resistant materials and proper sealing techniques to prevent water ingress. We ensure your property remains protected from the elements while secured.
10. What security measures do you take to ensure the boarding up cannot be easily compromised?
We use tamper-resistant fixings and security screws that cannot be easily removed. We install additional anti-pry strips and reinforced corners for high-risk locations, and proprietary security board systems that offer enhanced protection against forced entry attempts can be used.
