Emergency Boarding Up Services in Selby
If your property has been damaged in a break-in or through vandalism, there is a chance your windows or doors have been broken. When that happens, call Lock & Key Selby and one of our team will provide fast boarding-up services to secure your entry points and keep your property safe until replacements can be installed.
Our Comprehensive Boarding Up Services
In Selby, there is no benefit to leaving your windows or doors exposed after they have been damaged or broken. The damage could be done by storm damage, by a vandal breaking in, or even just by an accident that leaves you with a broken door or window. These gaps leave your property at risk of a break-in.
With boarding up, you get a quick-fire solution that makes sure your property is suitably protected until you can find the time to have a replacement window/door fitted.
Boarding up for residential homes
Homes are our most important asset, so when we have gaps in our windows or doors, it is natural to worry about the risks these create. With boarding up, you buy yourself valuable time to get the door or window replaced, meaning you can get on with your life without worrying about wind/rain blowing in, or someone using the exposure caused by the gaps in your windows/doors to enter your property.
Boarding up for commercial properties
We also protect business premises from the damage caused by broken windows or doors. Finding a replacement window or door is not always easy for Selby businesses; it can take time to have the door or window supplied and fitted. Boarding up means you can keep the show on the road while you get a replacement ordered, supplied and fitted into place.
Boarding up for vacant properties
Do you own a vacant property in Selby or surrounding area? Then you might one day come around to find that it has been damaged. Vacant buildings attract everyone from criminals to squatters, meaning that your entryways could be damaged as people scramble for a way inside. Boarding up offers valuable protection after such an incident.
24/7 Emergency boarding up
Boarding up is a quick solution to making sure your property no longer lies exposed to criminals or the elements. Contact the Lock & Key Selby team via [NUMBER], and we can board up any windows or doors on the same day.

When Is Boarding Up Required?
There are many reasons why you might call our team for boarding up services in Selby. The most common reasons for boarding up are:
Break-ins and burglary
Sadly, burglaries remain a common problem within Selby, and most break-ins will begin with someone coming through a door or window. That leaves your doors/windows exposed.
Vandalism
Vandalism is another common problem in the area, unfortunately. That means that vandals might smash a window or kick in a door, leading to the need for boarding up in the short term.
Weather damage
Of course, the weather in Selby can be quite dangerous at times, especially during the colder months when winds are stronger. Doors or windows can be blown in by the elements, requiring a temporary replacement.
Accidental damage
From a stray football to a large-sized object being moved around your house, you could easily bang your doors or smash your windows. Boarding up buys you time to get a replacement ordered.
Vacant properties
Vacant properties are common in Selby, and they tend to be common targets for vandals and squatters. If they enter via a door or window, boarding up means you get a temporary solution until you can source a replacement window or door.
Whatever the time, day or night, if you require a boarding up service, we can help. We operate a 24/7 service across the Selby and surrounding area, providing locksmithing solutions to both domestic and commercial customers.

Changing a common door lock takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes. But this timeline can be different based on your door type (garage, uPVC, conservatory, etc.), lock type (Yale or Euro or something else), and how many locks we’re required to repair/replace. Our locksmith can give you a more accurate time estimate once they arrive at your location.
Can the locksmith provide a quote beforehand?
