Emergency Boarding Up Services in Sheffield
When someone damages your property through a break-in or simply through aggressive vandalism, they will likely damage your windows or doors. When that happens, call the team at Lock & Key Sheffield for boarding up services to secure your entryways until a replacement is installed!
Our Comprehensive Boarding Up Services
Windows are a great source of natural lighting, while doors act as our primary point of entry into any building. However, if someone hits your windows or doors hard enough, they can smash the glass or the panels that are within the door, meaning they can enter your property or gain access to your locks and keys.
Damage could also occur due to extreme weather, but regardless of the cause, you need a boarding-up service to restore order and cover up the damage until a replacement arrives.
If you come home to find that a window or door has been smashed, or it happens while you are at home, call us for 24/7 support. We can have a Master Locksmith with you within one hour to begin the boarding-up and repair process, so you have no reason to worry.
Boarding up for residential homes
If your home in Sheffield has become a victim of vandal attacks or it has been broken into, there is a high likelihood that windows or doors have been damaged. This means someone could easily climb through the gap created. With boarding-up services provided by us, these gaps are filled with durable wood featuring robust fixings that should prevent anyone else from entering before you get a replacement.
Boarding up for commercial properties
Nothing can hurt your business more than vandalism and physical damage. If you find that your business premises have had a window or door damaged, and you require boarding up, call us. We can have a commercial locksmith in Sheffield with you within one hour to board up these damaged areas. This means that nobody else can use these same open gaps to enter your property unauthorised.
Boarding up for vacant properties
Vacant properties tend to be regular targets for vandals, criminals, and even squatters looking for a place to stay. If people like this enter your property, they will likely do so by using force and smashing open your doors and windows. We can board up the damage they do until you find a suitable alternative, such as replacing the doors/windows.
24/7 Emergency boarding up
We can act quickly on any emergency requests for boarding up in Sheffield. Our Master Locksmiths are available 24/7, so you can call us as soon as you discover the problem for a rapid solution to the damage caused.

Follow Up Recommeded Security Measures
Once your property is boarded-up, we will advise you on long-term repairs, such as replacement glass, upgraded locks, and additional security measures.
When Is Boarding Up Required?
There are many situations where we would suggest you go for a temporary boarding-up solution in Sheffield, such as:
Break-ins and burglary
If someone tries to break into your building, then there is a high chance they will gain entry through a smashed window or door area. This could lead to glass panes on the floor, so please take care of this and call us ASAP once the police leave.
Vandalism
Vandals in Sheffield are sadly more common than we would expect, and they tend to do a lot of damage to windows and doors. We can board up any areas they damage so they cannot re-gain entry to your property later.
Weather damage
As anyone living in Sheffield knows, the weather here can become pretty fierce. Extreme wind, rain, and storms could cause your windows or doors to be damaged; in that case, we recommend boarding up before replacements are fitted.
Accidental damage
You could damage a window or door when moving furniture, playing a sport outside, or even just through sheer bad luck. When accidents happen, boarding-up means you create a secure period of time to organise replacement windows/doors.
Vacant properties
When a building lies vacant for long enough, criminals and squatters tend to notice. People might break in so they can attempt to steal what remains, or even so they can stay there until discovered. Boarding-up limits their ability to get inside.
Whatever the time, day or night, if you require a boarding up service, we can help. We operate a 24/7 service across the Sheffield and surrounding area, providing locksmithing solutions to both domestic and commercial customers.
