What Does a Boarding Up Service in Newcastle Upon Tyne Involve

A boarding up service covers the emergency securing of any opening left vulnerable by broken glass, forced entry, storm damage, or vandalism. In practice, this means attending your property in Newcastle Upon Tyne, assessing the extent of the damage, and fitting a secure board over the affected window, door, or other opening to prevent further access, weather ingress, or theft.

The materials used depend on the size and location of the opening. In many cases plywood boarding is fitted as a temporary measure, cut and secured to provide a firm, weather-resistant barrier. However, Montrose Glass vans are stocked with glass that can be cut and fitted on site, so many jobs can be permanently resolved in a single visit rather than requiring two separate call-outs. Where a specialist unit such as a double-glazed sealed unit or a shaped pane is required, the boarding is fitted immediately while the correct glass is ordered, and a return visit is arranged as quickly as possible.

Our Emergency Glazing service runs alongside our boarding up operation, meaning that if the assessment determines re-glazing is the better immediate option, that work can often begin the same day. The transition from temporary glazing or boarding to a full permanent repair is managed by the same team throughout, so you are not passed between contractors or left waiting for a separate appointment.

We cover all property types across Newcastle Upon Tyne: residential homes, flats, commercial premises, rental properties, and mixed-use buildings. Our 24/7 availability means you can call whether the damage happens at midday on a weekday or at 3am on a bank holiday Sunday.

Why Professional Boarding Up Matters for Property Security in Newcastle Upon Tyne

A damaged or open window is not simply a practical inconvenience. It represents an active security risk to your property and, in many cases, a potential problem with your insurance cover. Most home and commercial property insurance policies require that a property is kept secure and that reasonable steps are taken to prevent further loss after an incident. A poorly fitted temporary board, or no board at all, can be cited by insurers when assessing a subsequent claim.

Professional boarding up in Newcastle Upon Tyne ensures that the repair is assessed correctly from the outset. A qualified glazier can determine whether plywood boarding is sufficient, whether immediate re-glazing is more appropriate, and whether any structural or frame damage needs to be factored into the repair plan. This on-site assessment is something a DIY repair cannot replicate, and it protects you both physically and from an insurance perspective.

Burglary repair and vandalism repair are areas where speed and quality both matter. A board that is not properly secured can be forced open, leaving your property exposed again. Using a professional service that carries the right materials and has the experience to fit them correctly removes that risk. For commercial properties in Newcastle Upon Tyne, where stock, equipment, or sensitive data may be on the premises, this is particularly important. Our Window Repair and Replacement service can follow on directly once the immediate emergency is resolved.

Montrose Glass are experts in quick and effective window boarding up services in Newcastle Upon Tyne 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.
