Common questions
Can I still open while the shop is boarded?
Often, yes. If the door itself is sound, we board only the broken panes so customers can still get in.
How long can a shop stay boarded up?
Boarding is designed to be temporary. It will keep a shop secure for weeks if needed, but most councils and landlords expect the frontage to be reglazed promptly, and boarded frontages tend to attract graffiti.
What should I do before the engineer arrives?
Keep people clear of broken glass, do not force a jammed door or shutter, and take photos if it is safe to do so. If you can, note any make or model shown on the door, closer or shutter motor.
Can I get shop boarding up out of hours in Devon?
Emergency work to make premises safe is available out of hours. Non-urgent repairs are booked around your trading hours.
