Repairs & emergency
Emergency boarding up
Emergency boarding up is rapid board-up after a break-in or damage. You get a free survey, an itemised quotation and an installation date that suits the business.
What you get
Temporary security is put in place when a repair cannot be finished the same day. A short written note of what was found and done is left after every visit. Most faults are diagnosed on the first visit, and many are fixed there and then.
