Property Security
Emergency Boarding Up
Guardian Edge provides emergency boarding up and making safe across the UK following break-ins, vandalism, storm damage, fire or accidental damage — securing the property the same day, then returning to carry out the permanent repair rather than leaving boards up for months.
Secured tonight, repaired properly afterwards.
Who this is for
- Property managers dealing with an out-of-hours incident
- Landlords and letting agents after a break-in or void damage
- Commercial occupiers after damage to shopfronts or glazing
- Insurers and loss adjusters requiring a property made safe
Problems it solves
- A door or window has been forced and the building cannot be left
- Storm damage has opened up the building envelope
- A vacant property has been broken into repeatedly
- Boards were fitted months ago and the permanent repair never happened

Before we price anything
Inspection & survey process
- 01
Assess on arrival
What is open, what is unsafe, and what can be permanently repaired immediately.
On site
How the work is delivered
- 01
Made secure
Property secured against entry and weather, hazards made safe.
- 02
Documented
Photographs and a written report suitable for an insurance claim.
- 03
Permanent repair programmed
Glazing, doors, frames and finishes quoted and completed — boarding is a stage, not an outcome.
Compliance
What the rules actually require
- Boarded property must not obstruct means of escape from the building or from adjoining premises.
- Where boarding is fitted to a fire-resisting element, the reinstatement must restore that resistance.
Ongoing support
Planned, reactive and multi-site.
Most providers do one of these well. The value of a single provider is that the schedule, the emergency and the portfolio all sit in the same place.
Planned maintenance
- Standing arrangement for portfolios with recurring void damage
Reactive support
- 24-hour emergency attendance
- Same-visit permanent repair where practical
Multi-site & national portfolios
- One number for emergency securing across every site in the country
Procurement, simplified
