A damaged, broken, or otherwise compromised door is the most serious security risk a property can face. It is a direct and open invitation to intruders, leaving your home or business completely exposed. Our 24/7 emergency door boarding Guildford service provides an immediate, robust, and secure solution to protect your property after any incident, ensuring your safety and restoring your peace of mind.
Unlike a broken window, a damaged door often means the complete failure of a primary security point, including locks and frames. This level of vulnerability requires an urgent and professional response. Our service is designed to handle this urgency, providing a temporary but highly effective barrier against unauthorised access.
When is Emergency Door Boarding Needed?
A compromised door requires immediate attention to prevent a security crisis. Our door boarding up Guildford team provides urgent, 24/7 services for a wide range of critical situations.
-
Post-Burglary Repairs: A door is the most common point of forced entry during a burglary. Kicked-in doors, broken locks, and shattered door panels are frequent and devastating outcomes. Our primary role in a burglary repair scenario is to make your property secure again, allowing you the time and space to arrange for a permanent repair or replacement without further risk.
-
Police or Emergency Services Entry: If law enforcement or emergency services have had to force entry to your property, you will be left with a door that cannot be secured. We provide a discreet, rapid, and professional service to board up the entrance, ensuring your property is not left vulnerable.
-
Vandalism or Malicious Damage: A door can be a target for vandals, resulting in kicked-in panels, broken locks, or other damage that renders it useless. This type of vandalism damage requires a fast response to prevent repeat incidents and secure the building.
-
Faulty or Structurally Unsafe Doors: Over time, doors can fail. A rotten frame, a completely failed locking mechanism, or accidental damage can make a door impossible to secure. In these cases, damaged door boarding provides a safe, temporary solution until a replacement can be sourced and fitted.
-
Fire and Flood Damage: Doors can be severely weakened or destroyed during a fire or flood. As part of securing a property after fire damage or flood damage, boarding up the main access points is a critical step.
Our Professional Door Boarding Process
Our focus is on creating an exceptionally strong and secure barrier without causing any additional damage to the surrounding door frame. This requires a professional approach and specialist techniques.
-
Immediate Dispatch and Assessment: Our Guildford-based team is dispatched for a rapid response, 24 hours a day. On arrival, we conduct a thorough inspection of the door, the frame, the locks, and the surrounding wall to determine the most secure method of installation.
-
Heavy-Duty Materials: We use heavy-duty timber boards, significantly thicker and more robust than standard plywood, to create a formidable barrier. The boards are measured and cut on-site to ensure a perfect, gap-free fit over the entire door opening.
-
Secure, Frame-Protecting Installation: Our technicians are trained to protect your property. We fix the boarding securely over the opening, but crucially, we brace it against the internal structure of the building. This method ensures the immense strength of the boarding without drilling into or damaging the delicate door frame, which is vital for when you get a permanent replacement.
-
Reinforced Security: Where necessary, we add extra timber braces (studs) across the back of the boarding, further reinforcing it against any attempt at forced entry. This creates a truly robust temporary wall.
Solutions for All Types of Doors and Properties
Our emergency door boarding service is versatile, and we can secure any type of doorway to provide peace of mind in any situation.
-
Residential Properties: We secure all entry points to your home, including front doors, back doors, patio doors, and French doors. Our service is essential for all residential properties that have suffered a security breach.
-
Commercial Premises: We understand the need for business security. We board up office entrances, fire exits, retail doorways, and warehouse loading doors to protect your assets. This is a core part of our service to commercial properties.
-
Temporary Access Control: For businesses or properties that still require access, we can install a temporary, heavy-duty door with a secure 5-lever lock directly into the boarding itself. This provides security while still allowing for controlled entry and exit.
