Property Boarding Services

When a door or window is damaged, every minute matters. Mr Speedy Locksmith provides rapid, secure property boarding across Birmingham for homes and businesses, helping you prevent further break-ins, weather damage, and costly disruption. We arrive fast, assess the risk, and board up vulnerable entry points using strong materials and professional fixings—so your property is protected until permanent repairs can be completed. If you need urgent help, see our 24/7 emergency locksmith service .


Emergency Property Boarding

After a break-in, vandalism incident, or accidental damage, exposed openings can quickly turn into a bigger problem. Our emergency boarding service is designed to secure the property immediately—closing off compromised access points and reducing the chance of repeat entry. We work cleanly and carefully, with a focus on safety, fast completion, and a solid temporary barrier that holds up against impact and harsh weather.

You’ll get clear advice on the next steps too—whether that means lock upgrades, door alignment, or a longer-term security improvement. If you want practical guidance while you wait for help, these local resources may be useful: why calling a locksmith quickly matters and how to choose a reliable locksmith .

Emergency Property Boarding

Residential Emergency Boarding

A damaged window or forced door can leave your home feeling exposed. We provide a fast, respectful residential boarding service that helps you regain control of the situation—especially after a break-in or storm damage. We secure the opening, check the surrounding frame for weak points, and recommend practical upgrades (such as stronger cylinders, keeps, or reinforcement) to reduce the risk of repeat incidents. If you’ve recently had a lockout or urgent security issue, you may also find this helpful: quick help when locked out .

Commercial Emergency Boarding

For businesses, a broken door or smashed glass isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a security and operational risk. We board up shops, offices, warehouses, and commercial units to help protect stock, equipment, and sensitive areas, while reducing downtime. Our team works efficiently to secure access points and support you with next-step options such as lock replacement, upgraded cylinders, and improved entry protection—so you can reopen safely and confidently.

Preventive Property Boarding

You don’t have to wait for a break-in or emergency to protect your property. Our preventive property boarding service is designed for homeowners, landlords, and businesses who want to reduce risk before damage occurs. By proactively securing doors and windows on vulnerable or temporarily unused buildings, we help deter vandalism, squatting, and opportunistic break-ins.

Mr Speedy Locksmith assesses the property layout, identifies weak access points, and installs strong, professionally fitted boards that act as a visible and physical deterrent. This approach not only protects the building itself, but also helps preserve its value, reduce insurance concerns, and prevent costly repairs in the future.

Boarding Services for Vacant Properties

Vacant and unoccupied properties are among the most common targets for vandalism, theft, and unauthorised access. Whether a property is empty due to renovation, sale, probate, or long-term vacancy, leaving it unsecured can quickly lead to damage and escalating costs.

Our vacant property boarding service provides a reliable, long-term security solution. We install durable boarding to windows and doors, carefully fitted to protect the structure while preventing forced entry. This helps keep the property safe, discourages unwanted attention, and gives landlords and owners peace of mind while the building is unoccupied or awaiting its next stage of use.

Preemptive Boarding for High-Risk Areas

Properties located in high-risk areas—or those that have previously experienced vandalism or attempted break-ins—benefit greatly from a proactive security approach. Preemptive boarding helps reduce repeat incidents by removing easy access points and sending a clear message that the property is protected.

We work closely with property owners and managers to secure vulnerable openings before problems arise. By boarding windows and doors in advance, we help minimise the likelihood of damage, protect internal fixtures, and reduce the risk of unauthorised occupation. This forward-thinking solution is ideal for both residential and commercial properties where prevention is far more cost- effective than emergency repair.
