Immediate Protection from the Elements
Our storm boarding service is designed to tackle the most common types of weather-related damage.
Blown-Out or Smashed Windows
This is the most frequent issue during a storm. Whether it’s from the force of the wind itself or from flying debris, a broken window needs to be secured immediately. Our emergency window boarding service will seal the opening, keeping wind and rain out.
Damaged Doors
Doors, especially patio or French doors, can be forced open or damaged by high winds. We can securely board up the entire doorway to ensure your property is safe from both the weather and potential intruders.
Roof and Skylight Damage
Missing tiles or a damaged skylight can lead to serious water damage inside your property. Our technicians are trained to safely access roofs and apply temporary weatherproofing. This involves using a combination of sturdy boards and heavy-duty tarpaulin to create a waterproof seal until a professional roofer can attend. Learn more about our roof boarding service.

FAQs about Storm Damage Boarding
### Can you work during the storm?
Our technicians’ safety is paramount. We will attend as soon as it is safe to do so. In most cases, we can operate in heavy rain and wind, but if conditions are deemed too dangerous (e.g., exceptionally high winds for roof work), we will advise you and attend the very moment conditions allow.
### How strong is the temporary boarding against wind?
Our boarding is fixed securely with heavy-duty screws and is designed to withstand strong winds, providing a robust temporary solution.
### My roof is leaking but I can’t see any damage. Can you help?
We specialise in securing visible openings. If you have a leak but the source isn’t obvious, you may need to contact a specialist roofing contractor to diagnose the problem. If they identify a specific area of damage, we can then come and provide temporary cover.
