A smashed or broken window is a security risk the moment it happens. Our Manchester emergency boarding up service gets a professional, weatherproof board fitted fast, protecting your property until permanent repairs can go ahead.
We work across Greater Manchester, with an emergency response usually under 2 hours.
Common reasons Manchester properties need an emergency board-up
Break-ins, attempted break-ins, storm damage and accidental breakages are the most common reasons we’re called out across Manchester. Vandalism and vehicle collisions with shopfronts are also frequent on busy commercial streets.
Whatever the cause, an unsecured window leaves a property open to further damage, theft, and weather intrusion, so acting quickly matters.
What our emergency boarding up service covers
One visit is usually all it takes. Our engineers turn up ready to size, cut and fit the board on site, whether it’s a shopfront, office or home, finished to a standard your insurer will accept. Before we go, we’ll talk you through what’s next if a full window repair or replacement is needed.

Enquire About Emergency Window Boarding
How much does emergency window boarding up cost in Manchester?
Emergency board-up costs typically range from £120 to £240, depending if the incident occurs in hours (8am - 6pm) or out of hours (6pm - 8am).
Is boarding up a broken window secure?
A properly fitted board is a genuinely effective temporary security measure. We use durable materials and fix them firmly in place, closing off the opening until a permanent repair or replacement can be carried out.
Can you board up commercial premises as well as homes?
Yes. We regularly secure shopfronts, offices, and other commercial premises across Manchester, and can work around your opening hours where needed.
How long does an emergency board-up take?
Most board-ups are completed within an hour of our engineer arriving, depending on the size and location of the window or door.
