Making Broken Doors and Windows Safe

Making sure your property is safe after a break-in or damage is vital, so let's walk through the steps to make broken doors and windows secure.

First, we must clear broken glass safely, using gloves and proper tools to prevent injury.

Next, we measure and cut a board to fit the opening precisely, guaranteeing a snug fit. When fixing the board, it's important to avoid worsening any frame damage, so we use appropriate fasteners and techniques.

For a forced door, we square it so it closes and locks properly, restoring security.

Different materials need different approaches: securing uPVC, timber, and aluminium frames require tailored methods to preserve integrity.

Finally, we verify the property is weather-tight and locked, safeguarding it against further damage.

Our goal is rapid, efficient service that leaves you feeling secure and your property protected. Your confidence is our priority.

Board-Ups That Support Your Insurance Claim

Insurers want to see prompt boarding, so taking clear photos of the damage before any repairs is significant. This documentation guarantees that your claim process is smooth and straightforward.

We must restore any locks to the policy standards, like BS3621 for timber doors and TS007 cylinders for uPVC. This compliance is crucial for your insurance coverage and prevents potential claim issues.

Tidy make-safe work is just as important. A clean, professional board-up not only protects your property but also demonstrates diligence, supporting your claim rather than complicating it.

At Lockout Mobile, we know these requirements. Our team provides rapid, efficient boarding up services that meet all necessary standards, ensuring you're fully supported in your insurance process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you make the property safe?

Boarding is an emergency call and goes to the front of the queue. Call 01604 261011 and we will secure the opening the same night so the building is not left standing open.

What do you board with?

Timber, ply or steel screens depending on the opening and how long it has to hold. A ground-floor shopfront gets a heavier cover than a first-floor window.

Will a board-up support my insurance claim?

It is meant to. We record what we found and what we did, and the itemised invoice for the emergency attendance and the follow-up repair is what claims handlers ask for.

Can you repair the frame and hinges as well?

Yes. A forced door usually takes the frame, the keeps and the hinges with it, and we rebuild those so the door closes and locks properly rather than merely looking closed.

Do you board empty properties and student lets?

Yes. Void units, student houses between tenancies and properties after an eviction are regular work, and we can fit a screen meant to stay up rather than a temporary patch.
