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.
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.
Do you offer shop boarding up across all of Scottish Borders?
Yes. We cover Scottish Borders in full, including Galashiels, Hawick, Peebles and Kelso, for both urgent and planned work.
Can I get shop boarding up out of hours in Scottish Borders?
Emergency work to make premises safe is available out of hours. Non-urgent repairs are booked around your trading hours.
