What is a boarding up service?

Boarding up secures your property temporarily by covering windows, doors, and entry points with wooden or metal boards. It protects against break-ins, vandalism, and bad weather, often needed after a break-in, storm damage, or emergency.

How long does it take to board up a property?

We focus on quick response times at Lockman Birmingham. Our emergency boarding-up service takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on damage size and condition. We aim to arrive within one hour of your call.

Is boarding up necessary after a break-in?

If someone has broken into or damaged your property, boarding up is crucial. It secures openings and stops further damage or unauthorised access. Additionally, it offers extra security until you can make permanent repairs.

Can you board up both residential and commercial properties?

Absolutely. Lockman Birmingham provides boarding up services for both residential homes and commercial properties. No matter if you own a home, run a business, or manage property, we have the skills and tools to secure your place fast and effectively.

How much does boarding up cost in Birmingham?

The cost of our boarding up service varies. It depends on the property's size, the materials used, and the security level needed. We offer competitive prices and a free quote. Contact us to get an accurate estimate for your specific needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely amazing service! I was locked out of my apartment and Lee from Lockman 24/7 was brilliant. He kept me updated on his arrival time and was able to change my lock and provide me with new keys. Absolute life saver! Very affordable especially compared to other quotes I received and he was really polite and professional during the whole service. Would definitely recommend if you need a trustworthy locksmith.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lee is quick and helpful and I couldn't be more grateful to him for coming out in an emergency when I managed to lock myself out of my flat. He also identified that my previous lock had been easy to break and replaced it with a safer alternative. I was also very impressed with the rate charged. David Palmer

Why UPVC Window Locks Matter

They’re easy to forget about… until they stop working. But UPVC window locks are just as important as your front door when it comes to keeping intruders out (and letting air in safely when you want it).

Broken locks don’t just risk your security — they can also void your home insurance if something goes wrong. I’ll make sure your windows are fully secure and up to standard.

UPVC Window Locks Repair. Replace. Maintain.

Whatever condition your windows are in, I can help:

Window Lock Repairs

I carry most parts in my van, so I can usually fix it on the spot — no need for return visits.

New Lock Installations
