Emergency Boarding Up Services in Leeds
Boarding up is one of the most effective ways to help cover up holes or gaps in your windows or doors. Whether you simply do not have time to get a replacement pane of glass/door or you worry about a repeat attack, our boarding up service at Lock & Key Leeds offers the ideal temporary solution.
Our Comprehensive Boarding Up Services
The sense of fear and worry that comes from coming home to find damaged windows and doors is something that can be hard to forget. Knowing that your privacy has been invaded and your property has been vandalised and/or broken into is a gut-wrenching sensation. When that occurs, you need rapid solutions.
If you want to make sure that you can protect your property from further damage, boarding up is the best way to cover up these gaps while you source a replacement window and/or door.
Boarding up for residential homes
Our experts at Lock & Key Leeds cover boarding-up services for all residential properties in the community. The damage could be caused by a freak accident, an environmental issue such as a storm, or, unfortunately, due to a criminal act of vandalism. These gaps leave your home exposed to further damage; call now and we can board up any exposed window or door frames.
Boarding up for commercial properties
If your business has been impacted by a window or door being broken, in part or in full, call our team today. We can carry out an emergency boarding-up service to cover the gaps and ensure that no one can enter your building uninvited. Protect your assets and ensure your business can continue until you can source a replacement window or door. Boarding up means the show can go on until repairs can be completed.
Boarding up for vacant properties
Leeds has many vacant buildings, and they tend to be targets for vandals and people looking to squat. If someone has broken through your property via a window or door, we can board up the entry point they used and make sure that they are unable to re-enter using that same gap in the old window or door frames.
24/7 Emergency boarding up
We provide boarding-up services as part of our emergency locksmithing services in Leeds. We can get to work on the damage done right away, so simply call us, day or night, even if the damage is caused during public holidays.

Our Boarding Up Process
Boarding up is something that requires a very specific process to ensure the boards remain sturdy.
Call our 24/7 Helpline for a Rapid Response
As soon as you call the Lock & Key team, we will have a local specialist from our Leeds team visit your property to assess the damage within one hour.
Damage Inspection and Assessment
With our expert team of technicians now on-site, we can start the review process and assess exactly where you need boards fitted.
Efficient and Professional Repairs
With the boards and fitting equipment brought with us, we start the boarding-up process. We only use sturdy, high-quality weather-resistant boards.
Follow Up Recommeded Security Measures
With the boards fitted, we stress-test them ensuring they can stand the test of time and provide support so you don’t have to rush for a replacement window/door.
When Is Boarding Up Required?
We fit boards for all manner of properties in Leeds, and for all manner of reasons. The main causes for boarding up in Leeds include:
Break-ins and burglary
Burglaries in Leeds remain a common concern, with hundreds of reported burglaries per year in the local area. These burglars often enter via windows or doors, exposing gaps that leave your property feeling vulnerable afterwards.
Vandalism
Sadly, vandalism and property damage remain a commonly reported crime not just in Leeds but across the UK. If vandals choose to damage your property, they might target your windows or your doors for maximum impact.
Weather damage
As we all know, the weather in Leeds can feel like a bit of a gamble. As such, storm damage can leave you with a vulnerable property; all it takes is a strong wind or blowing debris to cause major damage to your windows or doors during a storm.
Accidental damage
Look, we all have been there – you are playing with a football in the garden, or you are moving a piece of furniture around, and you hit your window or door, causing it to smash. We can board up the gaps until you find time to invest in a replacement.
Vacant properties
With vacant properties on the rise in Leeds, many people, from vandals to squatters, could target your property to find shelter or to look around inside. We can fill in the gaps they create by fitting high-quality, damage-resistant boards for immediate protection.
Whatever the time, day or night, if you require a boarding up service, we can help. We operate a 24/7 service across the Leeds and surrounding area, providing locksmithing solutions to both domestic and commercial customers.
