Boarding Up in Crawley, Available 24/7

Crawley is a large West Sussex town that grew substantially as a planned New Town after 1947, built around a historic market town centre and now home to around 115,000 people. It sits close to Gatwick Airport and is well connected by rail and road, with a mix of residential neighbourhoods, retail areas, and industrial estates spread across its many distinct districts.

Montrose Glass provides boarding up in Crawley and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whether your property has been affected by a break-in, storm damage, or vandalism, our team can attend quickly and secure the site properly. In most circumstances, we aim to reach you within 30 to 90 minutes of your call, and our vans are stocked with boarding materials and glass so that many jobs can be permanently resolved in a single visit. If you need Emergency Glazing alongside your boarding up, we can assess and carry out both on the same call-out where the damage allows.

What Does a Boarding Up Service in Crawley Involve

A boarding up service in Crawley covers a range of situations: a smashed front door panel after a burglary, a window shattered by storm debris, glass broken during a vandalism incident, or any other damage that leaves your property exposed. The immediate priority is to make the opening secure and weatherproof. Depending on the extent of the damage, this may involve fitting plywood boarding or a rigid temporary glazing panel across the affected area to prevent further access and protect the interior from the elements.

Temporary boarding is exactly that: a short-term measure to stabilise the property while a permanent solution is arranged. Where the damage is straightforward and the correct glass unit is available on the van, our glaziers will carry out a full repair on the same visit, removing the need for a second call-out. Where a specialist or bespoke unit is required, the boarding remains in place until the replacement is ready, and we will return as quickly as possible. The service connects directly to our broader Window Glazing work in Crawley, so the transition from emergency boarding to permanent repair is handled by the same team throughout.

Our vans are fully stocked with materials for emergency board up work as well as a range of glass that can be cut and fitted on site. This means you are not left with a boarded window for longer than necessary. The 30 to 90 minute response time applies around the clock, including weekends and bank holidays, because property damage does not follow business hours.

Why Professional Boarding Up Matters for Your Property Security

A temporary fix using materials not properly secured to the frame leaves clear vulnerabilities that opportunist thieves can exploit quickly, particularly in areas with higher footfall or where your property is visible from the street. A professionally fitted board is anchored correctly to the surrounding frame or structure, making forced re-entry considerably more difficult. This matters not only for immediate property security but also for your insurance position: many home and commercial insurance policies require you to take reasonable steps to secure the property following damage, and a professionally installed board provides a clear record that those steps were taken.

There is also an assessment element that a professional visit provides and a DIY repair cannot. When a glazier attends your property, they can identify whether the frame, lintel, or surrounding structure has been compromised by the impact. Proceeding to re-glaze without checking the frame can result in further damage or a poorly fitted unit. In some cases, particularly after a break-in or severe storm, the right decision is to carry out full Window Repair and Replacement rather than boarding alone, and that judgement is best made by someone who can physically inspect the damage. Transparent pricing is confirmed before any work begins, so there are no surprises.

Montrose Glass are experts in quick and effective window boarding up services in Crawley to keep your business secure while you consider your repair options.

Superb service. The guys were out on time and the job was completed within an hour, including a full clean up. Would definitely use again.

We used Montrose Glass for a construction project in London recently. They were fantastic. Service was great, as was the workmanship. The 2 glaziers are a credit to the company. Also, they turned up and carried out the works during heavy snowfall without complaint. We would definitely recommend them.

I needed to get some work done for quite a while on my house, but kept putting it off - after a couple of calls to Montrose Glass I felt comfortable discussing it and they made it so easy and simple that I\'ve decided to get it all sorted. Great service and I have already got them quoting my mums house and will have no worries referring them on in the future.
