Boarding Up in Lancashire: 24/7 Emergency Service

Lancashire is a large and varied county, stretching from the market towns of the Ribble Valley to the urban neighbourhoods of Preston, Blackburn, and Burnley, with coastal communities around Morecambe and Lytham St Annes in between. It combines post-industrial towns, rural villages, and commuter areas, each with their own character and pace.

Montrose Glass provides boarding up in Lancashire 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 reach you across Lancashire in most circumstances within 30 to 90 minutes of your call. We carry boarding materials and glass stock on every van, which means a temporary board-up and a permanent glazing repair can often be completed in a single visit. If you need immediate help, you do not need to wait until morning or search for a different contractor for each stage of the work.

Our Emergency Glazing service operates across Lancashire alongside our boarding up provision, so whether the situation calls for a temporary fix or a full glass replacement, we can assess and act on site. Every job begins with a proper assessment so you receive the right solution from the outset, not a one-size approach applied without thought.

What Does a Boarding Up Service in Lancashire Involve?

When you contact Montrose Glass for emergency boarding up in Lancashire, the first priority is to make your property secure as quickly as possible. This applies whether the damage has been caused by a burglary, an attempted break-in, storm impact, or deliberate vandalism. Our operative arrives with the materials needed to board the affected window or door opening, using solid boarding fitted correctly to prevent further access and protect the interior from the elements.

The materials used depend on the size and type of the opening. Plywood boarding is commonly used for larger openings and provides a robust temporary barrier. For smaller breaks or cracks, other temporary glazing solutions may be more appropriate. In every case, the boarding is treated as a protective measure while a permanent repair is assessed and arranged. Our vans carry a stock of glass that can be cut and fitted on site, so where the damage involves a standard single or double glazed unit, a permanent repair is often possible on the same visit. This removes the need for a follow-up appointment in many situations.

Where a specialist unit is required, such as a bespoke size, a sealed double-glazed unit, or toughened glass, the boarding provides secure protection while the correct materials are ordered. A return visit is arranged as quickly as possible. Throughout the process, our team keeps you informed of what is needed and why, so you are never left guessing about the next step. Our full Window Glazing service is available across Lancashire for all follow-on repairs once the immediate emergency has been managed.

Why Professional Boarding Up Matters for Property Security in Lancashire

After a break-in or storm damage, it can be tempting to patch a broken window yourself using whatever materials are available. However, DIY boarding rarely provides the level of security needed to protect your property overnight or over a longer period. An incorrectly fixed board can be removed with minimal effort, leaving your home or business exposed to further intrusion. For landlords and commercial property owners in particular, the condition of any temporary boarding may also affect whether an insurance claim is accepted, as many policies require evidence of reasonable steps being taken to secure the property promptly after damage occurs.

A professional window boarding service in Lancashire also includes a proper assessment of the damage before any work begins. This matters because not all broken windows are straightforward. The surrounding frame may be compromised, locks may need to be checked, and in some cases a direct re-glaze on the same visit is more appropriate than boarding. Skipping this assessment and applying a board without checking the full picture can delay a proper repair and leave structural weaknesses unaddressed. Montrose Glass carries out this assessment as a standard part of every call-out, with no additional charge, so you receive the right recommendation from the start. You can also explore our Window Repair and Replacement options if a full replacement is needed following the initial boarding.

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

Russell Haselhurst
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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Boarding Up in Lancashire

The questions below cover the details most commonly asked by homeowners and property owners in Lancashire before or after calling Montrose Glass for a boarding up service. Each answer is written to stand on its own so you can find the information you need quickly.

Yes, Montrose Glass provides boarding up across the whole of Lancashire, including Preston, Blackburn, Burnley, Lancaster, Chorley, Accrington, Morecambe, and all surrounding towns and rural areas. Our service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and we have nationwide UK coverage so no part of Lancashire falls outside our operating area.

In most circumstances, Montrose Glass can reach a property in Lancashire within 30 to 90 minutes of your call. Our emergency board up service operates around the clock, including weekends and bank holidays, so response times are consistent regardless of when the damage occurs. If you are in a more remote location, the operative will confirm an accurate estimated arrival time when you call.

There is no call-out fee for boarding up in Lancashire. Montrose Glass does not charge you simply for attending or carrying out an on-site assessment, and the assessment itself is free of charge. All pricing is discussed and confirmed transparently before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect with no surprise charges added afterwards.

In many cases, yes. Montrose Glass vans are stocked with glass that can be cut and fitted on site, so if the damage is straightforward a permanent repair can often be completed in the same visit as the initial call-out in Lancashire. Where a specialist unit is required, such as a bespoke size or a sealed double-glazed unit, the boarding provides secure protection while the correct materials are ordered and a return visit is arranged as quickly as possible.

A professionally fitted board provides a secure barrier that is significantly harder to remove than an improvised repair, which matters for property security overnight and until a permanent fix is in place. Many home and commercial insurance policies also require that reasonable steps are taken to secure a property after damage, and a professional boarding up service in Lancashire provides evidence of that. Montrose Glass also carries out a full assessment on arrival, which means any additional damage to the frame or surrounding structure is identified at the same time rather than discovered later.
