Emergency Boarding Up & Burglary Repairs

Home / Emergency Boarding Up & Burglary Repairs

Keytek® offers an emergency boarding up service for both commercial and residential properties across the UK 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.

Keytek® knows that an accident, weather damage or a burglary can be an incredibly stressful time for you and your family. Our aim is to resolve the situation as quickly as possible (30 minute fast response*). Our emergency boarding up service only uses the highest quality Ply all sourced locally, this speeds up the process, ensuring that your property is secured quickly, until a complete repair or replacement can take place. Plywood allows for both a visual deterrent when boarding up windows and boarding up a door whilst it secures and can be used to fit any access point that needs securing.

Why we use plywood:

Suitable for short term or long term to secure access points
Budget alternative for securing a property following a break in
Can be used to provide security to an unoccupied property
Provides a flexible solution for all stages of construction or demolition.

Our highly skilled Locksmiths attend promptly and are all DBS (formerly CRB) checked so you can be assured of the high standard, quality of services and the safety that is linked to calling out a Keytek® Locksmith.

Emergency Boarding Up & Burglary Repairs

Emergency Boarding Up Process

Call Keytek® who will send for your local Locksmith.
Prior to calling a Locksmith, you will need to inform the police of the break in. Locksmiths cannot do any work to a house until the police have given permission to do so.
Our Locksmiths will use the highest grade Ply, sourced locally, to give you the confidence that it will keep you secure. This is usually complete within an hour.
You should get a replacement door organised as soon as possible. As failing to do so is a security risk and will invalidate your insurance.

Window and Door Boarding Up Costs

Prices for window and door boarding up will depend on the Locksmith you call out and the amount of door/windows that require attention. A reputable Locksmith will be able to give you an estimate over the phone.

Do consider that you may not be given an all in price but rather an estimate as you will be charged for labour plus the price of parts and materials plus VAT. You should ensure that no call out charge is added and that the Locksmith is DBS checked and accredited to at least a level 3 in Locksmithing.
