What Does a Boarding Up Service in Manchester Involve?

When you call us for emergency boarding up in Manchester, our glazier attends your property with everything needed to secure it on the same visit. We use solid, fixed plywood boarding secured properly to the frame, not temporary sheeting held in place with tape. The boarding is fitted to prevent further access and to protect the interior of your property from the elements while a longer-term solution is arranged.

Our vans are stocked with boarding materials and a range of glass, which means many jobs can be fully resolved in a single visit. Where the damage is straightforward and the correct glass is available on the van, our glazier can remove the temporary boarding and fit a permanent glazed unit before leaving. This removes the need for a second appointment in many cases and gets your property back to normal as quickly as possible.

The boarding up service covers a range of situations including burglary repair, vandalism repair, accidental impact damage, and storm damage. We assess each job individually on site. If the window requires a specialist sealed unit or a non-standard size, that unit is ordered immediately and a return visit is arranged at the earliest opportunity. You can also read more about our Window Repair and Replacement options if your damage goes beyond a single pane.

Why Professional Boarding Up Matters for Your Manchester Property

It can be tempting to use whatever materials are to hand after a break-in or storm, but DIY boarding is rarely sufficient and can create problems. Loose or poorly fixed boarding is easy to remove from the outside, which means your property remains vulnerable hours after the initial damage. It also does nothing to assess whether the frame itself has been compromised, which is something only a trained glazier can determine on site.

Your home insurance policy is another consideration. Many policies require that damaged property is made secure promptly and to a professional standard. If you board up a window yourself and a subsequent loss occurs, your insurer may question whether the property was properly secured. A professional window boarding service in Manchester provides you with a record of the work completed and the materials used, which supports any insurance claim you need to make.

Property security does not end with a sheet of wood over a frame. Our glazier will assess the full extent of the damage, including the frame, locking points, and any adjacent glazing that may have been weakened. Where boarding is the correct immediate response, we fit it to a standard that holds overnight, over a weekend, or for as long as needed before permanent glazing is restored.

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

Professional boarding up ensures your property is genuinely secure after a break-in, storm, or vandalism, rather than simply covered.

Many home insurance policies also require that damaged properties are made professionally secure following an incident.
