Emergency boarding up in Blyth
If your Blyth premises have been broken into, report it to the police first, then ring us about securing the opening and dealing with loose glass.

Boarding up a Blyth shop is priced per opening, and you hear the cost on the phone, before anyone comes out to the premises. Landlords and managing agents with empty units in Blyth or anywhere in Northumberland can ring the same line when a vacant frontage has been damaged.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 179 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Postcodes we work in around here include NE23, NE24, and we also cover Ashington, Cramlington and Whitley Bay nearby.

What does it cost in Blyth?
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.
After a vehicle strikes a frontage in Blyth or anywhere in Northumberland, we check whether the frame is stable before boarding and tell you if an engineer should look. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Blyth job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.
Common questions
Do you cover Blyth?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Blyth and across Northumberland, including NE23, NE24. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.
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.
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.
