Emergency boarding up
Emergency boarding up: rapid board-up after a break-in or damage. Priced after a free site survey and fitted by our own team around your opening hours.
The detail
Boarding stops a second break-in and shows your insurer the premises were secured promptly. Most faults are diagnosed on the first visit, and many are fixed there and then.
Our approach
Midlands Shopfronts covers the full frontage: the glazing, the entrance door, the fascia above it and the shutter that closes over it at night. Keeping it all with one team means one survey, one set of drawings and one person accountable when the job is signed off.
