Common questions

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.

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 is shop boarding up priced in North Yorkshire?

Pricing is the same across Yorkshire and the Humber: a guide range up front and a fixed written price once the job has been measured. There is no extra charge for being outside a city centre.

Can I get shop boarding up out of hours in North Yorkshire?

Emergency work to make premises safe is available out of hours. Non-urgent repairs are booked around your trading hours.
