Situations Where You Might Need Boarding Up Services

Certain situations call for immediate action, such as boarding up, to protect your property. Here are some of the most common reasons to board up a property.

We've got it covered

Break-ins and burglary

Forced entry can leave doors damaged and windows shattered. This situation makes your property an easy target for further risks. Our boarding-up service secures your premises until you can arrange permanent repairs.

We've got it covered

Vandalism

Vandalism-related broken glass and damaged door frames can compromise property security, making your home or business more vulnerable to future attacks. At Lock & Key Rotherham, our boarding-up experts will assess the damage and reinforce weak points to prevent further incidents.

We've got it covered

Weather damage

Severe storms can turn tree branches and other loose objects into projectiles. These things can shatter glass or even break down doors. Boarding up offers a temporary yet sturdy fix (even in the middle of a storm). Such an action shields your property from further harm and costly repairs.

We've got it covered

Accidental damage

Mishaps happen. Butterfingers, slippery floors, unruly children, errant machines, and other “human-made” accidents can break or damage doors and windows, leaving your home or business exposed. Our fast-response locksmiths provide immediate security with professional boarding-up solutions.

We've got it covered

Vacant properties

Empty buildings are a magnet for trespassers, squatters, and vandals. While they don’t necessarily steal anything, occupying somebody else’s property without their permission is hardly legal. Boarding up protects your property and also keeps away informal settlers or vandals.

They were able to fit me in same day, and arrived within a couple of hours. Great customer service. I would use them again, and recommend them to others.

Very impressed with the quality of service and professionalism I received from Lock & Key Rotherham. As my property had been left insecure the guys were at my house super fast, and fitted a temporary lock. The next day they were back with the correct lock for my door and it was fitted straightaway. The guys worked quickly and efficiently, and were so friendly. I definitely recommend Lock & Key Rotherham, and should the need arise again they will be the first people I call!

Great service. Had two visits from them - first to assess problem and second to fit new hinges to UPVC door. Always kept me up to date and were always on time. Friendly staff both in person and via the phone.Update Jan 2025 - Two UPVC windows caused me problems over xmas and new year - called Lock & Key - came out to assess, gave me a price and today had repairs done to both windows by Danny and Terry - professional and friendly - got the job done and left no mess.

We couldn't close our front door as the lock mechanism had failed. Jim responded and attended faster than expected. Jim was very helpful in explaining the issue and job was completed in 30 minutes. Many thanks for an excellent job. We would recommend Lock & Key to all

Called them to resolve issues with a lock that had been incorrectly fitted in our absence by a police contractor.What a fantastic service. Initial contact inspired confidence and the locksmith (James) arrived on time. He was polite, professional and friendly.Above all, he did a fantastic job for us and freely gave advice on another potential issue. We had this additional work done but (to be clear) it was good advice and he was not pushy in any way.An excellent experience from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Our locksmiths can take 30 minutes to replace door locks and work on adjustments to secure it.

This can all be answered by our local locksmith when he arrives at your property.

Yes, in most cases we can provide you with a quote before even taking on the work so you’ll know what it all entails. We’ll most likely ask you some  questions to help identify the main issue together with photos to properly assess it. Upon arrival our locksmith will confirm the prices before proceeding with any work.

We are committed to providing you with high quality, affordable lock and key services. This means that we never charge you call-out fees. We only bill you for the services you require once a technician inspects your security issue and you are happy to proceed with the work.
