Board up
Arrange temporary protection for an opening that cannot be left exposed until its repair is ready.

Board up — cover exposed openings with sound fixing points, with site access, working hours and protection requirements planned, with the installation method, protection and finishing details planned.
A practical boarding plan starts with the size and surrounding construction, then sets out what will happen when permanent work proceeds.
The detail that matters
Is boarding a long-term replacement for glazing?
It is a temporary measure whose suitability and expected duration should be discussed for the particular opening.

What is assessed for board up?
A practical boarding plan starts with the size and surrounding construction, then sets out what will happen when permanent work proceeds.
Can board up be arranged after a break-in, impact or storm?
Yes. Explain what is exposed, whether the building can be occupied and whether the opening can be reached safely. The make-safe work and the later repair are then considered separately.
