We believe in providing transparent and competitive boarding up prices Guildford for all our customers across Guildford and Surrey. Our unwavering focus is on delivering exceptional value through a fast, professional, and highly secure service, ensuring you receive the best possible emergency solution without financial surprises.

We pride ourselves on our honest and straightforward approach, ensuring that our emergency boarding rates reflect the quality of our materials, the expertise of our technicians, and the urgency of the service we provide.

Our Pricing Promise: No Hidden Call-Out Charge

That’s right. Unlike some services, we do not charge a separate ‘call-out fee’ for our emergency boarding up service. When you call us, our priority is to get to your property quickly to assess the damage and provide a solution. You only pay for the actual work and materials required to secure your property. This commitment to transparency is a cornerstone of our service.

How We Calculate Your Boarding Up Quote

We provide a clear, no-obligation quote on-site before any work begins. This ensures you are fully informed and comfortable with the cost. The final price for boarding up your property depends on several key factors, each contributing to the complexity and resources required for the job:

  • Size and Number of Openings: The total square meterage of the windows, doors, or other openings that need to be boarded up is a primary factor. Larger areas or multiple breaches will naturally require more materials and labour.

  • Type and Thickness of Materials Required: The security level needed dictates the type and thickness of the timber boards. For instance, a standard temporary board for a residential window will differ in cost from a heavy-duty, anti-vandal board for a commercial shopfront or vacant property.

  • Complexity of the Installation: Some damage is more complex than others. For example, securing a large, irregularly shaped hole in a wall after accident damage might take longer and require more specialised techniques than boarding a standard window. Access challenges can also influence the time required.

  • Time of Day and Urgency: While we don’t have a call-out fee, our hourly rates for out-of-hours work (e.g., overnight, weekends, bank holidays) are different from our standard daytime rates. This reflects the immediate availability of our 24/7 emergency team.

  • Location and Accessibility: While we cover all of Guildford and surrounding Surrey areas, properties in very remote locations or those with difficult access (e.g., requiring specialist equipment) might incur additional costs, which will always be discussed upfront.

An Investment in Security and Peace of Mind

While cost is an important consideration, it’s crucial to view emergency boarding as an essential investment in your immediate security and the long-term protection of your property. Leaving a property unsecured, even for a short period, can lead to far more significant and costly problems:

  • Further Damage: Unprotected openings allow rain, wind, and cold to enter, causing extensive water damage, mould, and structural issues that can be incredibly expensive to repair.
  • Theft and Vandalism: An exposed property is an easy target for opportunistic thieves and vandals, leading to loss of valuables and further damage. Our service helps prevent this, especially after a burglary or vandalism incident.
  • Insurance Complications: As detailed on our insurance claims page, failing to secure your property promptly can potentially invalidate your insurance policy for any subsequent losses.
  • Safety and Liability: An unsecured property can pose a risk to the public, leading to potential liability issues for the owner.

Our professional service ensures that the work is done to a high standard, using quality materials and techniques, and is fully approved by insurance companies. This not only protects your property but also safeguards your insurance claim.
