Whether your property has been affected by a break-in, storm damage, or vandalism, our team can reach you quickly, secure the premises, and in many cases carry out a permanent repair in the same visit.

What Does Our Boarding Up Service in Greater Manchester Cover

Our boarding up service in Greater Manchester covers a wide range of situations: emergency attendance after a burglary or break-in, damage caused by storm or extreme weather, and vandalism repair where a window or door has been deliberately targeted. When you call, we dispatch a fully equipped van to your property. In most circumstances we arrive within 30 to 90 minutes, day or night. Our vans carry boarding materials including plywood boarding as well as a stock of glass that can be cut and fitted on site, which means many jobs move straight from temporary boarding to a permanent repair without a second call-out.

Where immediate glazing is not possible, for example where a specialist sealed unit is required, we fit secure temporary glazing to protect your property until the correct glass can be sourced and installed. The boarding up is carried out properly, not just a sheet propped against the frame. We assess the frame, the surrounding structure, and the security of the fix before we leave. From there, the transition to full Window Repair and Replacement is straightforward and arranged as quickly as possible.

Why Professional Boarding Up Matters for Property Security in Greater Manchester

A broken window or door is an open invitation. In Greater Manchester, as in any urban area, a property left visibly unsecured overnight is at significantly higher risk of a second entry. DIY boarding, whether a piece of timber wedged into the frame or a sheet of plastic taped over the gap, does not provide the level of property security that a proper board-up offers. It also does not satisfy the requirements of most home or commercial insurance policies, which typically require you to take reasonable steps to secure the property after damage is reported. Failing to do so can complicate or invalidate a claim.

There is also the question of assessment. A trained glazier will identify whether the frame has been damaged, whether the existing structure will hold a new pane, and whether boarding is even the right option or whether immediate re-glazing is safer and more cost-effective. Our Emergency Glazing service runs alongside our boarding up provision, so if a full repair can be done on the same visit, we will carry it out. A professional on-site assessment is the only reliable way to make that judgement.

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