Boarding Up in Folkestone

Montrose Glass provides boarding up in Folkestone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whether you have experienced a break-in, storm damage, or vandalism, our team is ready to attend your property and make it safe without delay.

Folkestone is a coastal town in Kent with a working port, a regenerated creative quarter around the Old High Street, and a mix of Victorian terraces, seafront properties, and commercial premises. The town’s exposed position on the English Channel means wind-driven damage to windows and glazing is a recurring issue, particularly in autumn and winter months.

When something goes wrong with your windows or glazing, whether through a burglary, accidental impact, or severe weather, you need a reliable boarding up service in Folkestone that responds quickly, assesses the damage properly, and leaves your property secure. That is exactly what Montrose Glass delivers.

What Does a Boarding Up Service in Folkestone Involve

Our boarding up service in Folkestone covers a wide range of situations: emergency attendance after break-ins, storm or weather damage, vandalism repair, and any incident where a window, door panel, or glazed area has been compromised. When you call, we dispatch a fully equipped van to your address. In most circumstances, our response time is between 30 and 90 minutes, so your property is not left exposed for longer than necessary.

Our vans carry both boarding materials and a stock of glass that can be cut and fitted on site. This means many jobs do not require temporary glazing at all. Where the damage is straightforward and the correct glass specification is available on the van, we can complete a permanent repair in the same visit, replacing the boarding up stage entirely with a finished installation. For jobs involving specialist sealed units or bespoke dimensions, we will board the opening securely using plywood boarding or appropriate sheeting to protect against weather and intruders, then order the unit and return as quickly as possible to complete the work.

The boarding up process itself involves measuring and cutting rigid boarding material to cover the damaged opening, fixing it securely to prevent forced entry or further weather ingress, and checking the surrounding frame and structure for secondary damage. Our team will also advise on whether immediate re-glazing is the better option, taking the cost, security, and your insurance requirements into account.

Why Professional Boarding Up Matters for Folkestone Properties

A temporary fix carried out without the right materials or training rarely provides adequate property security. Poorly fixed boarding can shift overnight, leave gaps that compromise insulation and weather resistance, or fail to meet the standard your insurer expects following a claim. Most home and commercial property insurance policies require you to take reasonable steps to secure your property after damage, and a professional boarding up service in Folkestone provides the documented evidence that those steps have been taken.

Beyond the insurance consideration, an unsecured opening following a burglary or vandalism repair presents a straightforward opportunity for further intrusion. Folkestone, like any coastal town with a mix of residential and commercial streets, has areas where an obviously unsecured property can attract further attention quickly. A properly boarded opening, fixed by a qualified glazier, removes that risk for the period between the initial incident and the permanent repair.

Professional attendance also means the opening and frame are assessed before any material is applied. In some cases, damage to the frame or surrounding structure makes immediate re-glazing the safer and more cost-effective route. Our team will make that judgement on site and explain the options clearly. If your situation calls for a full repair straight away, our Emergency Glazing service covers exactly that, and the same team handling the board-up can transition directly to the glazing work where appropriate.

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