Situations Where You Might Need Boarding Up Services

Certain situations call for immediate action, such as boarding up, to protect your property. Here are some of the most common reasons to board up a property.

We've got it covered

Break-ins and burglary

Forced entry can leave doors damaged and windows shattered. This situation makes your property an easy target for further risks. Our boarding-up service secures your premises until you can arrange permanent repairs.

We've got it covered

Vandalism

Vandalism-related broken glass and damaged door frames can compromise property security, making your home or business more vulnerable to future attacks. At Lock & Key Rotherham, our boarding-up experts will assess the damage and reinforce weak points to prevent further incidents.

We've got it covered

Weather damage

Severe storms can turn tree branches and other loose objects into projectiles. These things can shatter glass or even break down doors. Boarding up offers a temporary yet sturdy fix (even in the middle of a storm). Such an action shields your property from further harm and costly repairs.

We've got it covered

Accidental damage

Mishaps happen. Butterfingers, slippery floors, unruly children, errant machines, and other “human-made” accidents can break or damage doors and windows, leaving your home or business exposed. Our fast-response locksmiths provide immediate security with professional boarding-up solutions.

We've got it covered

Vacant properties

Empty buildings are a magnet for trespassers, squatters, and vandals. While they don’t necessarily steal anything, occupying somebody else’s property without their permission is hardly legal. Boarding up protects your property and also keeps away informal settlers or vandals.

Lost my front door key on hols so was dreading getting back and having to wait around for a locksmith. Called Lock and Key they were here within half an hour took less than that to open the door and replace the lock. Given plenty of spare keys the locksmith was efficient and friendly and didn't cost the earth. Highly recommended.

Came within an hour Sunday evening. Explained and showed me the damage that had caused the jam and broken key and gave me a fair quote for the repair. Replaced the lock and handle mechanism and thoroughly checked everything, even adjusted the door mountings as they were out. Brilliant job and smashing fella, wholeheartedly recommend.

Having found that the French doors would not lock on Sunday evening I phoned lock and key Barnsley. I gave a description of the problem and John gave me a quote for what he thought the problem would be but explained if it was something else he may have to adjust the quote. He said he could be with me in 30 minutes, it was actually more like 20 minutes. He checked the lock and confirmed it was the issue we had discussed. John completed the required work promptly and with minimum fuss. He left me with a receipt for the work, after demonstrating the new lock working. Very happy with this service and would recommend.
