What is Boarding up?

Boarding up means covering and securing a broken or open area — such as a smashed window, damaged door, or shopfront — using strong wooden boards.

When glass is broken or a frame is damaged, your property is left open to theft, weather, and further damage. Boarding up provides a temporary but secure barrier, keeping your home or business safe until a proper glass replacement or repair can be completed.

Have you been a victim of burglary or vandalism?

Broken windows pose a safety and security risk for your home and family, so it’s important to get any damaged glazing seen to as soon as possible. You may have had a break-in, in which case our engineers can help you to secure your home whilst also preventing contamination of the scene. For accidental breakages or ongoing problems which have become a security issue, we have a comprehensive range of solutions, from temporary repairs to full glazing replacements.

30-60 MIN Emergency Boarding up:

We understand that accidents and disasters can happen at any time. Therefore, our 24 hour glaziers can assist you around the clock, 7 days a week so that when you have a problem, you can get it fixed no matter what time it is.

Temporary Doors

If you've had your glass shop door smashed or your wooden front door and you need access for few days till you get it replaced, here at swift glazing we do emergency 24/7 temporary doors. Has your door been kicked in during a burglary? Do you have broken doors that need replacing or boarding up?

In case we do not have the correct size or kind of glass with us, our glaziers will clean up the debris and provide temporary boarding before returning to the depot. With a wide range of glass to select from, we can return to the property and install the perfect replacement.

Generally, 10 -12 mm sterling boards are used but marine 18 mm Plyboard complete with Anti-Bandit screws can be requested.

OUR CLIENTS

What our customers say

Great service. Called out as an emergency on Easter Monday at 8pm and the Glazier was at mine in about 30 minutes. Fantastic! I was locked out and the only way in was to take a pane of glass out and replace it. The whole thing was done in about an hour and all was very calm and relaxed. He even swept up afterwards and cleaned the glass. Can barely tell anything’s been done now. Highly recommend!
