Emergency Boarding Up Services in Bradford
Boarding up remains one of the quickest ways to protect your property in the event of damage to your windows or doors. At Lock & Key Bradford, we use high-quality, durable wood to help provide a solid base that prevents people from entering your property whilst keeping the elements at bay.
Our Comprehensive Boarding Up Services
In Bradford, there is no benefit to leaving your windows or doors exposed after they have been damaged or broken. The damage could be done by storm damage, by a vandal breaking in, or even just by an accident that leaves you with a broken door or window. These gaps leave your property at risk of a break-in.
With boarding up, you get a quick-fire solution that makes sure your property is suitably protected until you can find the time to have a replacement window/door fitted.
Boarding up for residential homes
Homes are our most important asset, so when we have gaps in our windows or doors, it is natural to worry about the risks these create. With boarding up, you buy yourself valuable time to get the door or window replaced, meaning you can get on with your life without worrying about wind/rain blowing in, or someone using the exposure caused by the gaps in your windows/doors to enter your property.
Boarding up for commercial properties
We also protect business premises from the damage caused by broken windows or doors. Finding a replacement window or door is not always easy for Bradford businesses; it can take time to have the door or window supplied and fitted. Boarding up means you can keep the show on the road while you get a replacement ordered, supplied and fitted into place.
Boarding up for vacant properties
Do you own a vacant property in the Bradford area? Then you might one day come around to find that it has been damaged. Vacant buildings attract everyone from criminals to squatters, meaning that your entryways could be damaged as people scramble for a way inside. Boarding up offers valuable protection after such an incident.
24/7 Emergency boarding up
Boarding up is a quick solution to making sure your property no longer lies exposed to criminals or the elements. Contact the Lock & Key Bradford team, and we can board up any windows or doors on the same day.

When Is Boarding Up Required?
There are many reasons why you might call our team for boarding up services in Bradford. The most common reasons for boarding up are:
Break-ins and burglary
Sadly, burglaries remain a common problem within the Bradford community, and most break-ins will begin with someone gaining entry through a door or window. That leaves your doors/windows exposed and your home at risk.
Vandalism
Vandalism is another common problem in the area, unfortunately. That means that vandals might smash a window or kick in a door, leading to the need for boarding up in the short term.
Weather damage
Of course, the weather in Bradford can be quite dangerous at times, especially during the colder months when winds are stronger. Doors or windows can be blown in by the elements, requiring a temporary replacement.
Accidental damage
From a stray football to a large-sized object being moved around your house, you could easily bang your doors or smash your windows. Boarding up buys you time to get a replacement ordered.
Vacant properties
Vacant properties are common in Bradford, and they tend to be common targets for vandals and squatters. If they enter via a door or window, boarding up means you get a temporary solution until you can source a replacement window or door.
Whatever the time, day or night, if you require a boarding up service, we can help. We operate a 24/7 service across the Bradford and surrounding area, providing locksmithing solutions to both domestic and commercial customers.
