Our boarding up service in Cambridge covers the full range of situations that leave a property exposed: burglary repair, storm-broken panes, accidental impact, and vandalism repair. When you call, we dispatch a local technician who arrives with boarding materials already loaded in the van, so your property can be secured without delay. In most circumstances, we reach Cambridge properties within 30 to 90 minutes of your call.
Boarding is carried out using solid plywood boarding fixed securely to the frame, providing a weather-resistant and tamper-resistant barrier while a longer-term solution is arranged. This is not a temporary patch; it is a properly fitted board that keeps the opening sealed against the elements and deters opportunistic access. Because our vans also carry a stock of glass that can be cut and fitted on site, many jobs that begin as an emergency board up are resolved permanently in the same visit. If the damage is straightforward, our technician will assess whether an immediate re-glaze is possible and carry it out there and then, saving you a second call-out. Where the job requires a specialist unit such as sealed double-glazed or shaped glass, that unit will be ordered and a return visit arranged as quickly as possible. For cases where a full repair is needed straight away, our Emergency Glazing service covers exactly that situation.
The transition from temporary glazing to permanent repair is managed by the same team, so there is no need to coordinate between different contractors. We assess the frame condition at the same time as boarding, noting any secondary damage that could affect the final repair. This single-visit approach reduces disruption and means your property is not left vulnerable any longer than necessary.
