Repairs & emergency
Emergency boarding up
Emergency boarding up is rapid board-up after a break-in or damage. You get a free survey, an itemised quotation and an installation date that suits the business.
How it is made
A short written note of what was found and done is left after every visit. Most faults are diagnosed on the first visit, and many are fixed there and then. Temporary security is put in place when a repair cannot be finished the same day.
Working with us
A shutter bolted onto a frontage that was never designed for it is where most problems start. We plan the two together, so the box sits behind the fascia line, the guides land on solid fixings and the lock sits where the insurer wants it.
