Window Boarding Done with Durable Materials

The exposed opening needs a sturdy covering to block wind, rainwater and unwanted access. This is why we use only industry-grade boarding materials to keep the opening secure until permanent work can be completed. Depending on the property and level of protection needed, we can board the damaged window using:

Plywood Boarding

One of the best choices for emergency window boarding. Plywood is affordable, easy to work with and has high impact strength to block wind and rain. We use it when there is a need for a quick and secure covering after glazing has been damaged.

Steel Sheets / Security Screens

If additional safety is needed such as after forced entry or attempted burglary in homes and commercial properties, we use steel sheets. These act as a strong barrier against unwanted access and are useful in long-term boarding situations.

Security Window Screens

If you want high-level safety plus visibility, our team boards up the broken window with security screens. They are made of steel mesh which is highly resistant to impact while allowing sunlight and proper ventilation at the same time.

Anti-Tamper Screws

We use anti-tamper screws and suitable fixings to make the covering harder to remove or interfere with. They are important in high-risk situations as intruders cannot remove them with a normal flathead or cross-head screwdriver. They also secure both wood panels and steel sheets firmly to window frames so vacant homes and businesses stay safe from forced entry and vandalism.

What Happens When You Call Us

When you call for broken glass boarding in Bolton, the team asks about the damage. We will inquire about whether the window or door is completely broken and if there is any risk involved. Using this information, our team will know what equipment and support to prepare before leaving for your property.

Once the glaziers arrive, they will assess the damaged opening and remove any loose or hazardous glass. They will then secure the window with suitable boarding materials including plywood, steel sheets or security screens. This will create a temporary barrier against unwanted access and the weather.

Before leaving, we will take the measurements for permanent glazing and order a similar replacement in size and style. Once the new pane is ready, we will select a convenient time for fitting it. The team will remove the temporary boarding and install the new window, making it ready for everyday use.

FAQs

What is window boarding, and when do I need it?

Window boarding is a temporary window glass or frame covering using replacement materials such as plywood or steel sheets. Boarding is needed to protect properties during emergencies, severe weather or periods of vacancy. For example, after a forced break-in, attempted burglary, storm damage or fire damage.

How quickly can you board up a window in Bolton?

At Luxe Windows Bolton, we offer same-day emergency glazing services in Bolton, Manchester, Lancashire and nearby areas. If you have a broken window and it needs to be secure, reach out today to arrange emergency boarding or glass replacement. Our team will reach you within 90 minutes of your call.

How much does window boarding cost?

The window boarding cost depends on a few factors including the window’s size, extent of damage and replacement boarding material. On average, you can expect anywhere between £75 to £200 per window. At Luxe Windows Bolton, we do not charge a call-out fee and offer a quote only after inspecting the broken window.

Can you board up and secure my home after a break-in?

Yes. We offer immediate board-up service in case of a break-in, vandalism or burglaries. Our expert glaziers will reach your home within 90 minutes after your call. Being locally based, we are familiar with the area and find the quickest routes to your property.

Will my insurance cover the cost of boarding up?

Many home and business insurance policies cover emergency boarding for insured events such as break-ins, vandalism or storm damage. However, cover depends on your policy terms and excess. Different conditions also apply to unoccupied properties. At Luxe Windows Bolton, we liaise with insurers and carry out emergency boarding in line with their requirements where applicable. Check your policy or contact your insurer to confirm what is covered and whether any excess applies.

How long can the boards stay up?

It depends on the condition of the material, weather and how long it takes to arrange permanent repairs. Plywood stays up for around 2 – 4 weeks which is why it is best for short-term boarding. Steel sheets are good for several months which makes them suitable for longer protection. Metal security screens can stay for several months or longer and are best for vacant or high-risk properties. Our team will inspect your property and recommend the most practical solution based on how long the opening needs to remain secure.

Do you board up shops, offices and empty properties?

Yes. We provide boarding services for commercial and vacant properties. Our expert glaziers work with plywood, steel sheets and security screens to board up windows.

Can you replace the glass after boarding up?

Yes. We have 20+ years of experience in glass replacement and installation. Once the property is safe, we can remove the boarding and replace the damaged glass with single, double or triple glazing. We also replace misted glass where condensation has built up between the panes.
