Lichfield is a small cathedral city in Staffordshire, known for its three-spired medieval cathedral, its compact historic centre, and its position on the edge of the Chase.

What Does a Boarding Up Service in Lichfield Involve

When you call Montrose Glass for boarding up in Lichfield, our glaziers attend your property and carry out a full on-site assessment before any work begins. The assessment covers the extent of the damage, the type of window or door affected, and whether temporary glazing or immediate permanent repair is the most appropriate course of action. In many cases, because our vans carry glass that can be cut and fitted on site, the glazier can move straight from boarding to a full repair without a second visit.

Where plywood boarding is required, it is fitted securely to protect the opening against weather, further intrusion, and opportunistic damage. This is not a cosmetic fix. Proper plywood boarding provides a meaningful level of property security until a permanent repair can be completed. Temporary boarding is typically used where a specialist unit needs to be ordered or where site conditions mean immediate glazing is not practical. In those cases, a return visit is arranged as quickly as possible.

The boarding up service covers damage caused by burglary, vandalism repair, storm or impact damage, and any situation where a window or door has been compromised and the property needs securing without delay. Our glaziers carry the tools and materials for both temporary and permanent repairs, which means you are not left waiting for a separate installation team to follow up. If you need further support after the immediate situation is resolved, our Window Repair and Replacement service in Lichfield covers all follow-on work.

Why Professional Boarding Up Matters for Lichfield Properties

A temporary fix using materials not designed for the purpose may appear to secure a property but often leaves gaps in coverage that compromise both physical security and weather resistance. Insurers increasingly expect evidence of professional attendance and proper boarding when processing claims for burglary repair or storm damage. If temporary measures are not carried out to an adequate standard, it can affect the outcome of a claim, particularly where further damage occurs after the initial incident.

A professional assessment also determines whether boarding is actually the right response. In some cases, the damage is straightforward enough that immediate re-glazing is quicker, more cost-effective, and more secure than boarding and returning later. A qualified glazier can make that call on site, whereas a DIY approach typically defaults to boarding regardless of whether it is the most appropriate solution. Getting the right response from the outset avoids unnecessary delays and reduces the risk of secondary damage to the property.

For situations where damage is severe or where the property is commercial and needs to be operational as quickly as possible, the speed and competence of the initial attendance matters considerably. Montrose Glass is accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 45001, which means the quality and safety standards applied to every job are independently verified. This matters not just for your peace of mind but for any documentation your insurer may require following an emergency board up in Lichfield.

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.

The service is available 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays, so response times apply regardless of when the damage occurs.

There is no call-out fee for the boarding up service in Lichfield. Montrose Glass does not charge simply for attending your property or carrying out the on-site assessment. Pricing is discussed transparently before any work begins, so you will always know what is involved before agreeing to proceed.

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 Lichfield. Where a specialist unit is required, it will be ordered and a return visit arranged as quickly as possible, with plywood boarding fitted in the meantime to keep your property secure.

Most home and commercial property insurance policies require that reasonable steps are taken to secure a property following a break-in, storm damage, or vandalism. Professional boarding up by a qualified glazier, documented with details of the attendance and work carried out, satisfies that requirement in most cases. Attempting a DIY repair may not meet your insurer’s standard and could affect a subsequent claim, so calling a professional glazier is the safer course of action.
