How To Board Up Or Cover Broken Glass?

Use our 24 hour emergency boarding up service to secure your broken window or door.

Bolton Glass Fix boarding up service is carried out by competent installers to secure properties from further damage or break-ins. For longer term temporary fittings, we advise choosing our anti tamper screws for maximum security. Our 11-22mm thickness OSB timber boards are already cut to standard sizes for swift fittings to windows and doors, but for more custom dimensions we can usually cut to size on site even if there is no power supply available.

When we board up the broken glass from your uPVC window or door, our glazing window fitters can measure up for glass replacement so that our glaziers can have a substitute ready for the next day, wherever possible. See our other features that can benefit you in an emergency:

  • Physical Protection

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Can you board up and secure a vacant house?

    Our fitters are experienced vacant property specialists. All windows, doors and other points of access can be boarded up and secured to prevent intruders from breaking in. For a more permanent option, we can install solid steel or perforated steel screens which offer better security. Speak to an adviser for more information.

  • How do I gain access if my house is boarded up?

    We understand that houses that are fully boarded up will keep trespassers out, but there will be times when the owner or an authorised person needs access to carry out works in the property. At Bolton Glass Fix, we can fit temporary timber emergency doors for domestic and commercial properties to provide entry into the protected premises.

  • Do you have to board up my broken window if it is just shattered?

    Majority of the times, your damaged window will need boarding up. In some cases where the pane is smashed but held together, we may apply a clear micron safety film as a temporary measure. The expert repairer will assess the damage and advise you if it is possible.
