24/7 emergency boarding up in London

Boarding up is the fastest way to make a damaged property safe. Whether it is a ground-floor window after a burglary, a shattered shop door or a blown-out conservatory panel, we fit sturdy, secure boarding that restores your peace of mind within minutes of arriving. Our service runs around the clock, every day of the year, because break-ins and accidents rarely happen at convenient times.

We board up domestic windows and doors, commercial shopfronts, communal entrances, garages and out-buildings. The boarding is fixed firmly to deter further entry and keep wind and rain out, and it is fully removable when we return to fit your permanent glass repair. There is no callout fee, so calling for help costs you nothing.

For businesses, a securely boarded shopfront also protects your stock and reputation overnight, and keeps you compliant with the security conditions many commercial insurers require. For homeowners, it means you can sleep knowing your property is sealed against opportunists and the weather. Either way, our glaziers work cleanly, tidy up any broken glass before they leave and explain exactly what happens next. As a fully insured company with FENSA and GGF accreditation, every visit is carried out to a professional standard you can rely on.

When to call us

Reach for the phone whenever an opening in your property is no longer secure. We are regularly called out for:

• Break-ins and attempted burglaries — securing smashed windows and forced doors before the property is left unattended.
• Storm damage — boarding openings where glass has been blown in or cracked beyond immediate repair.
• Vandalism — covering deliberately damaged windows and shopfronts to prevent further loss.
• Accidental breakage — making safe after a pane has been shattered at home or work.
• Failed sealed units — temporarily securing a unit that has cracked through and cannot be left open.

If you are not sure, call anyway — our team will advise honestly on 07503 400015.

What to do while you wait

While our glazier travels to you, keep everyone safe with these steps:

• Stay away from the broken opening and keep children and pets in another room.
• Do not lean against cracked glass or try to push out loose shards.
• Photograph the damage for your records and any insurance claim.
• Secure the property from inside — lock internal doors and move valuables out of sight after a break-in.
• Report a burglary to the police and note the crime reference number.

You do not need to attempt any temporary fix yourself; leave the boarding to us and stay safe.
