Emergency boarding up in Manchester
Window or door smashed and you can’t leave the property open? Call 07893 933403. A glazier is usually with you within 60 minutes to board it up, any time of day or night, with no call-out fee.
Before we arrive: keep away from broken glass, and if there has been a break-in, call the police (999 if anyone is still there, 101 otherwise) and take photos before anything is touched.
What we board up
- Windows in houses and flats, from a single pane to a whole bay.
- Front and back doors where the glass or the door itself has been broken.
- Shopfronts, office doors and glass partitions, so the premises can be locked up overnight.
- Storm and accident damage, from a fallen branch to a car into a front window.
How it is done
The glazier clears the loose and broken glass, then cuts timber board to fit the opening and fixes it securely to the frame. Where a door has been forced, our locksmiths can make the lock secure on the same call. Once the property is safe, the glass can be replaced, either on the spot or with a made-to-measure unit afterwards. See emergency window repair.
What it costs
£89 for the first hour, £45 for each half hour after, with parts on top. No call-out fee, and the same rate at night. More on emergency glazing.
