We will advise you on long-term repairs, such as replacement glass, upgraded locks, and additional security measures. These will help prevent future damage and secure your property better.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
