Common questions
Will boarding damage my shopfront frame?
Fixings go into the frame or the reveal, so small holes are unavoidable. We place them where they can be filled or hidden behind beads when the frontage is reglazed.
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.
Do you offer shop boarding up across all of Rutland?
Yes. We cover Rutland in full, including Oakham and Uppingham, for both urgent and planned work.
