Emergency Boarding Up Can A Locksmith Help?
When we attend an emergency break-in situation, we are careful not to interfere with any police investigations and will only board up your window or door once it is suitable to do so. Moving beyond the conventional timber boards, SGC Glass also champions the use of security window films. To provide you with the information you need, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions about our Boarding Up services, ensuring you have all the details to make informed decisions for your property. SGC Glass specialises in bespoke shopfront installations that improve your retail space and attract customers.
The removal of windows is time consuming, costly and also requires a level of expertise to ensure they are refitted correctly, often at added cost. Boarding up a property is one of the best ways to ensure a vacant property is well-protected. Even if the work involved will be extensive, the benefits are worth the effort, especially if you plan to sell the property later. This way, you can prevent damages or break-ins while the property is unoccupied.
Generally speaking, materials such as timber or metal will be required in order to properly board up the property and secure it from intruders, with different solutions priced accordingly. Compression security screens due to their design can be fitted externally on windows above the ground floor, quickly and cost effectively, thereby creating a strong barrier protecting the entire property. Often they are secured directly to the window frame, essentially damaging the window, or direct to the brick work using secure fixings.
We work around the clock to provide a reliable service to customers that need it the most. We also offer a security window film service as an alternative to traditional timber boards. This window film is perfect for those who want peace of mind and security for their property without having to board it up. The film can be installed briskly with minimal disruption, resulting in heightened security in no time at all. Boarding up is a very commonly required service, usually occurring as a result of vandalism, burglary or fire damage. It involves installing boards on the doors and windows of a property to keep it temporarily secure.
A broken window can lead to further vandalism, access into the property and possible squatting unless appropriate action is taken quickly. Secure Empty Property offers emergency window boarding and our installation teams provide rapid response to minimise risk – nationwide. Timber is provided in a range of thicknesses for added protection when needed and anti-tamper fixings are used to further prevent unlawful entry to the property.
When you need a window, door or shop front boarding up in an emergency or non-emergency situation, we can arrange for a fast effective service for you within 30 minutes and will give you a secure solution as soon as possible. We understand how stressful it can be when your windows get smashed or damaged. That’s why we respond as soon as possible when you call, to give you the peace of mind that your property is safe. This applies for both tenants, homeowners and commercial business premises.
