What Does Our Boarding Up Service in Preston Cover?

Emergency boarding up in Preston covers a range of situations: forced entry after a burglary, smashed windows following vandalism, frames damaged by storm impact, and any scenario where a property has been left exposed and insecure. When our technician arrives, the first priority is to make the property safe. That means assessing the damage, measuring the opening, and fitting secure boarding material to prevent further access, weather ingress, or theft of contents.

We use solid, professionally fitted plywood boarding rather than makeshift coverings. Plywood boarding is applied correctly to the frame rather than simply propped or taped, which matters both for security and for your insurance documentation. In many cases, temporary glazing is not necessary at all. Our vans are stocked with glass that can be cut and fitted on site, which means a large proportion of standard window jobs are resolved permanently in a single visit, without the need for a return appointment.

Where a specialist sealed unit or non-standard frame component is needed, we will board up securely on the first visit, order the correct materials, and return as quickly as possible to complete the permanent repair. Our Window Repair and Replacement service handles the full transition from temporary boarding to finished glazing, so you are not left managing multiple contractors.

Why Professional Boarding Up Matters for Preston Properties

A broken window or damaged door frame leaves your property exposed on multiple levels. The most immediate concern is physical security: an unsecured opening is an invitation for a repeat entry, and in a burglary repair situation that risk is real and time-sensitive. Temporary fixes using tape, cardboard, or loosely leant sheets of material do not prevent access and offer no meaningful barrier against weather. In Preston, where autumn and winter conditions can bring driving rain and strong wind, an improperly covered opening can cause significant secondary damage to interiors within hours.

Beyond the physical risk, your property insurance policy will typically require that you take reasonable steps to secure your property following an incident. A professionally fitted board up, carried out by a qualified technician and documented correctly, satisfies that requirement. A DIY repair may not. If you are a landlord or managing a commercial property in Preston, your obligations are even more specific, and a professional service provides the paper trail you may need. Calling a qualified glazier for a proper assessment before deciding between boarding and immediate re-glazing also ensures you are not paying for more work than necessary or missing damage that is not immediately visible.

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

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.
