Boarding Up In Corby

A broken window or door panel left unsecured, even temporarily, creates a straightforward opportunity for further intrusion. DIY boarding, particularly with materials not suited to the task or fixed without the right fastenings, often provides less resistance than it appears to. A professional boarding up service in Corby uses appropriate-gauge plywood and correct fixing methods, ensuring the boarding holds and cannot be easily removed from outside.

There is also an insurance dimension worth understanding. Many household and commercial property insurance policies require that damage is made secure promptly and by a competent contractor. Failing to do so, or using an inadequate temporary fix, can complicate a claim. A professional attendance provides a record of when the property was secured, what work was carried out, and the condition of the damage on arrival. This documentation can be useful when you speak to your insurer following a burglary repair or vandalism repair.

Before any work begins, a proper on-site assessment is carried out. This determines whether temporary glazing or immediate replacement is the right solution. Rushing to a permanent repair without inspecting the frame, the sill, or the surrounding structure can create problems later. Equally, leaving boarding in place longer than necessary is not ideal for property security or appearance. Our approach is to move to a permanent solution as quickly as the job allows, using our Window Repair and Replacement service where a full replacement is the best outcome.
