Situations Where You Might Need Boarding Up Services

Emergency boarding up services are necessary in a wide variety of situations. The following are the most common.

We've got it covered

Break-ins and burglary

Your property may be damaged by intruders who try to break in by smashing windows or kicking in doors. Until long-term repairs can be done, our boarding up service keeps additional security threats at bay.

We've got it covered

Vandalism

Broken glass or broken door frames can make you more susceptible to vandalism if your property has already been attacked. Our skilled boarding-up crew will promptly evaluate the damage and high-risk locations and secure your property.

We've got it covered

Weather damage

Unexpected property damage is frequently caused by weather-related events, such as storms, strong winds, or flying debris that can shatter glass or damage doors. Boarding up is a strong, short-term solution to prevent more damage.

We've got it covered

Accidental damage

Trespassers frequently target vacant residences, businesses, or retail establishments. In these situations, it is strongly advised to board up the property to keep out unwelcomed guests and lower damage risk.

We've got it covered

Empty 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.

I work for a Letting Agency and I had a Tenant report an emergency issue relating to their door late Friday evening. I contacted Jim at Doncaster Lock & Key and he attended the property within an hour and a half from calling him. He resolved the issue whilst onsite and provided excellent communication throughout; Jim was also very professional. I would highly recommend this company!

The team at Lock and Key are amazing! I ordered a replacement security door handle which was the wrong size - error on my part. Altough they spent almost an hour trying to fit it they gave me the details to order a replacement in the correct size. Terry came the second time to fit the correct sized handle and completed the job without fuss. Very reasonable priced too - highly recommended. 👍

I had a great experience with Doncaster Lock& Key today. I called at 9 AM, and they initially estimated they’d arrive by 11 AM—but they showed up early, which was a huge relief. Jim was friendly, polite, and got straight to work. Within 45 minutes, he had my lock working perfectly again. Fast, professional, and reliable—I highly recommend them!
