Emergency boarding up in Alnwick

Boarding up an Alnwick shop is priced per opening, and you hear the cost on the phone, before anyone comes out to the premises.

Shop frontage boarded up with timber sheets

Boards are only temporary, so once your shop in Alnwick or elsewhere in Northumberland is secure, we measure up and price the permanent repair separately. After a vehicle strikes a frontage in Alnwick or anywhere in Northumberland, we check whether the frame is stable before boarding and tell you if an engineer should look.

Work in Alnwick is run from Birmingham, roughly 199 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. We cover NE65, NE66, NE67 and the surrounding streets, along with Morpeth, Ashington and Blyth.

Which faults do we deal with in Alnwick?

Vehicle impactDamaged frames are checked for stability and the whole opening is sheeted. If the structure above looks affected, we tell you an engineer should see it.
Smashed shop windowLoose glass is taken out or made safe, then the opening is sheeted from outside or inside, depending on access.
Empty unitsVacant premises left open by vandalism are sheeted so the landlord or agent can keep the unit secure.

What does it cost in Alnwick?

Emergency boarding up costs £195 to £495 ex VAT per opening. This is not a diagnostic visit: we ask about the opening and access when you ring, then tell you the cost before we come out. Wide frontages, high openings, steel sheet and clearing broken glass can move the price. The permanent repair is priced separately once the premises are secure.

Landlords and managing agents with empty units in Alnwick or anywhere in Northumberland can ring the same line when a vacant frontage has been damaged. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Alnwick job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you work in NE65, NE66, NE67?

Yes. Alnwick and the NE65, NE66, NE67 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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 soon can you get to my shop?

We'll tell you the arrival time when you call, based on where you are and which teams are available. We do not publish a fixed response time. Until someone arrives, stay clear of loose glass and keep staff and the public away from the opening.

What do I do if my shop in Alnwick is broken into?

Call the police first if a crime is in progress, then call our 24/7 line on 0800 088 6341. We will tell you the arrival time when you call, and board up or reglaze so the premises are secure.
