Dover is a busy port town on the Kent coast, best known for its White Cliffs and as the UK’s busiest passenger ferry terminal.

What Does a Boarding Up Service in Dover Involve?

When you contact us for emergency boarding up in Dover, the first priority is to secure your property against further risk. Our technician will attend, assess the damage, and fit boarding using appropriate materials to make the opening safe. In most cases this means plywood boarding cut and fitted to size on site, providing an immediate barrier against weather, further intrusion, and unauthorised access. The process is straightforward but it does require the right tools, correct measurements, and secure fixing to be effective.

Boarding is often described as a temporary measure, and that is accurate in the sense that it is not a permanent replacement for glazing. However, in many situations our vans carry sufficient glass stock to allow us to move straight from emergency board up to a full glazing repair in a single visit. Where a standard unit is required, our technician will assess, cut, and fit the glass on site. For specialist units such as double glazing with specific configurations, we will order the correct glass and return as quickly as possible to complete the permanent repair.

We cover the whole of Dover and the surrounding area, and our 24/7 availability means emergency boarding up in Dover is never limited to standard business hours. Whether the incident happens on a Sunday night or a bank holiday, you will reach a real person when you call.

Why Professional Boarding Up Matters for Property Security in Dover

After a break-in, storm, or act of vandalism, the instinct to cover a broken window yourself is understandable. However, improvised or temporary boarding carries real risks that are worth considering before you act. A poorly fitted board can be removed quickly, leaving your property exposed. It can also create a visible signal that the premises are unoccupied or compromised, which increases the risk of a second incident. Proper window boarding requires the board to be fixed securely from inside where possible, and sized accurately so that it covers the full opening without gaps.

There is also an insurance dimension. Many home and commercial property policies require you to take reasonable steps to secure your property after damage, and some policies specify that a professional service must be used for emergency boarding up or vandalism repair. Using a qualified tradesperson creates a clear record of the work carried out, which supports any subsequent claim. A professional assessment also determines whether boarding is the right immediate response or whether a direct glazing repair is possible without the intermediate step. Our Emergency Glazing service in Dover covers situations where glass replacement is the faster and more practical solution.

A proper on-site assessment also identifies secondary damage. After a burglary repair or storm event, there may be frame damage, hardware issues, or structural concerns that affect what the repair will involve. Identifying these at the outset avoids delays and additional costs later. Temporary glazing or boarding without a full assessment can obscure these issues and make the eventual permanent repair more complicated.

Montrose Glass are experts in quick and effective window boarding up services in Dover 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.
