Boarding Up Bolton Locksmiths
Our professional team is on hand to restore your peace of mind within your own home. Our services cover everything from break-ins to accidental damage and extreme weather impacts.
What Do Our Boarding-Up Services Include?
The process of boarding up involves reinforcing windows, doors, or other entry points with durable wooden boards, often plywood. This prevents unauthorised access and keeps out the elements. As a result, you will have a temporary yet robust solution as you await a permanent repair.
CJW Locksmiths carry out various residential boarding-up services, for example:
- Window Boarding: Securing broken or shattered windows to keep out potential trespassers.
- Door Boarding: Reinforcing damaged or forced doors to restore security until a replacement is available.
- Emergency Boarding-Up: Rapid response solutions for urgent security issues at any hour.
- Preventative Boarding: Safeguarding vacant properties against trespassers, squatters, and vandalism.



When Might You Need Boarding-Up Services?
Break-ins and Criminal Damage
Burglaries or vandalism will undoubtedly leave your home exposed and vulnerable. Damaged windows or doors are an easy entry point for further trespassing, theft, or squatters. Immediate boarding up restores security and acts as a deterrent against future incidents.
Accidental Damage
Windows and doors can still be broken without criminal damage. However, windows and doors are typically broken by heavy impacts, DIY mistakes, or Vehicle collisions. Regardless of the cause, CJW Locksmiths swiftly prevents further complications with your home.
Severe Weather and Storm Damage
Believe it or not, high winds, heavy rain, and hail can all damage windows and exposed doors. Boarding up prevents structural deterioration, mould, dampness, and flood threats.
Fire Damage
Fire damage can weaken the structural integrity of windows and doors. This means that even if it doesn’t destroy them, it makes them incredibly unsafe. Therefore, boarding-up services will keep your property protected while restoration work is being completed.
Vacant or Unoccupied Properties
Empty properties will always be the primary target for squatters, trespassers, and vandals. In these cases, boarding up prevents unauthorised access and preserves the condition of the building until occupancy resumes.
Post-Eviction Security Measures
Following eviction, property owners may need to prevent any attempts at re-entry by the former occupant. So, boarding up will keep out any potential trespassers until the property can be used.
