Boarded up windows services in Halifax

What is boarding up service, and do you need one?

Boarded windows and doors simply mean, a window or glass panel door or shop front which has been damaged in some way and to secure it and avoid further damage, plywood is placed across the area and secured in place.

The timber used is strong and robust. Keeping potential intruders out and avoiding any further hazards until the new replacement glass can be installed.

Most boarding up is carried out due to a window or door being broken due to vandalism, a break-in, or by accident through a flying object.

But, there are actually many reasons why you might find yourself in need of boarding up service.

For example, if a property is vacant, some landlords, estate agents, and even the police prefer to board up windows and doors on vacant properties. This is to ensure that the property remains free from squatters, vandals, arsonists, opportunists, and more. Minimising the risk of damage and intrusion into a property.

Boarding is very popular on buildings that are set to be demolished. Mainly for some of the reasons mentioned above, but also for public safety, as the site might have been deemed as unsafe for people to enter.

Boards on windows are particularly popular in certain parts of the world when it comes to protecting properties from the external elements. Protecting against strong winds and storms is one of the major benefits of boarding up windows.

Boarding up can also be used to support damaged window frames and frames supporting shop fronts.

A great temporary solution until new units can be supplied and installed.

For commercial premises, some shop owners prefer to have their storefronts boarded up while work on new shop fronts takes place. This helps to create the ultimate wow factor for customers as well as protect your property while work is being carried out.

For these reasons and many more, boarding up services has increased in popularity and continues to grow in demand for everyday use as well as in emergencies.

Plywood is also very flexible, so boards can be cut and customised to any shape and size, securing your property 100% and protecting it from any further damage.

Boarding up process

The boarding up process often involves an emergency glazier attending your property and assessing the damage and the situation. From here measurements of the window in question will be taken so replacement glass can be ordered asap.

Once all measurements are carried out, the team will start boarding up the area, removing any shards of glass which remain and disposing of these appropriately.

The site will also be cleared of any debris and made completely secure.

In some instances, instead of plywood being used, a safety film will provide a suitable alternative.

Safety film is often considered if the break or crack in the window is relatively small or if the glass in the frame has shattered, but it is still sitting stable within the frame itself.

We also fit and install new glass too, so we can measure up and order new panes to be ready asap.

When your new glass is ready, we will return to your property at a time that is convenient for you, remove the boards in question and fit the replacement glass as required.

We also always aim to minimise damage and disruption for you and your property. And in 99% of cases, we won’t have to drill into any brickwork to make your property safe and secure. Minimising any damage to frames.

Top Tips

Vacant property? Board it up! This helps to prevent vandals from entering the property, as well as squatters and any other opportunists who might want to take a look.
Check your insurance policy. Some insurance companies will require you to have windows boarded up until replacement glass is installed to ensure your insurance remains valid. It’s worth checking your insurance policy wording to make sure you’re covered.
Find a company that not only offers boarding up services but who can provide glazing options too.
Don’t touch the broken glass. Let the professionals take care of any mess and larger shards of glass.
For shop owners, please be aware of your health and safety policies and make sure everyone abides by the stated regulations when it comes to such incidences.
Contact the police asap if the window break has been the result of a break-in or vandalism.
Don’t leave broken windows and doors unattended; they won’t get better and fix themselves and only open you up to further damage and vandalism.
Speak to an emergency boarding up team asap.
