Emergency boarding up in Northumberland
Boarding up a Northumberland shop is priced per opening, and you hear the cost on the phone, before anyone comes out to the premises.
Boards are only temporary, so once your shop in Northumberland or elsewhere in the North East is secure, we measure up and price the permanent repair separately. Our 24/7 emergency line takes calls from Northumberland for break-ins, smashed glass and boarding up, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Northumberland?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northumberland, including Alnwick, Ashington, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth.
Can you board up a shop that has to stay open?
Yes, in many cases we can board one opening and keep the main entrance usable. We need to know how people will get in and out, because boards must not block an escape route. Where the door itself is damaged, we agree what can safely stay in use.
Should I call the police before boarding up?
Yes, report a break-in to the police first and ask for a crime reference number, which insurers usually want. Take photos before anything is moved. If officers want to examine the scene, wait until they confirm that boarding can go ahead.
How long can boards stay up?
Boards are a temporary measure and should stay only until the permanent repair is fitted. Made-to-measure glass or frames take time to order, so we confirm the typical lead time with your repair price. Check your insurer is content with the premises staying boarded.
