A smashed or damaged window can leave your home or business exposed to the weather, further damage and unauthorised access.

Our experienced engineers can board windows in residential and commercial properties, including uPVC, aluminium and timber installations. We can also secure large glazed openings and damaged shopfront windows while replacement glass is arranged.
Available 24/7 for any emergency, call us today on 0800 043 0095 for a free quote and have your home or business boarded and re-secured by the best! Once the property has been secured, we can assess the damage and arrange the necessary permanent window, frame or glass repairs.

Common Reasons For Emergency Window Boarding:
Emergency boarding is generally required when damage has left a window opening exposed and permanent repairs cannot be completed immediately.
Common reasons for window boarding include:
- Smashed or shattered windows – broken glazing can leave a property exposed and unsafe.
- Burglary or attempted break-ins – forced entry can damage glazing, frames, locks and surrounding components.
- Vandalism – deliberately smashed windows may require immediate temporary protection.
- Crowbar and jemmy damage – attempted forced entry can distort frames and compromise window security.
- Damaged window frames – severe damage may prevent replacement glass from being fitted immediately.
- Damaged locks and handles – a window that cannot be closed or locked securely may require temporary boarding.
- Smashed shopfront windows – large commercial openings may need securing while replacement glazing is manufactured.
- Accidental impact damage – impacts from objects, machinery or other accidents can cause extensive glazing damage.
- Storm and weather damage – falling branches, debris and severe weather can break windows or damage frames.
- Temporary security during repairs – boarding can protect an opening while replacement glass, frames or other components are being prepared.
Not every broken window needs boarding. If suitable replacement glass can be fitted immediately or the existing opening can be secured safely through repairs, temporary boarding may not be necessary. Where immediate permanent repair isn’t possible, however, boarding can provide important temporary protection.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs
Do you provide emergency window boarding 24 hours a day?
Yes. Window Doctor provides 24/7 emergency window boarding for suitable residential and commercial properties. If broken glass or other damage has left a window opening unsecured, our engineers can assess the situation and arrange temporary boarding where required.
Can you board up a smashed window after a burglary?
Yes. Burglary and attempted forced entry are common reasons for emergency window boarding. We can secure suitable damaged openings before arranging permanent repairs to the glazing, frame, locks or other affected components.
Can you board up shopfront windows?
Yes. Window Doctor provides emergency boarding for suitable damaged shopfronts and other commercial glazed openings following burglary, vandalism, accidental impact and other damage. We can also arrange permanent shopfront glass replacement.
Do all broken windows need to be boarded?
No. If the window can be repaired or replacement glass can be fitted immediately, boarding may not be necessary. Temporary boarding is generally used when an exposed opening cannot be permanently repaired straight away and needs to be made safe and secure in the meantime.
Can you replace the glass after boarding the window?
Yes. Window Doctor provides a wide range of glass replacement and window repair services. Once the opening has been secured, we can assess the damage and arrange suitable replacement glass, frame repairs, locks, handles or other components required to restore the window.
