  1. Tell us the details: Describe the damage—smashed window, kicked-in door, or roof breach—and your location in RM4. We’ll ask about access (e.g., rear garden gates or ladders for bungalows) to prepare.
  2. Get a realistic ETA: We prioritise urgent calls like secure property after burglary tonight, but attendance varies by time and workload. Expect us faster from nearby Romford.
  3. We arrive and secure: Our DBS-checked team uses 18mm exterior-grade plywood or 12mm OSB with anti-tamper fixings. Job done, you get time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer.

Making Your Property Safe and Insurer-Ready

After boarding up, we focus on weatherproofing and security to prevent further damage or theft. Anti-tamper fixings stop removal from outside—key if your Havering-atte-Bower home will be unattended. For insurance claims, we provide:

  • Before-and-after photos (time-stamped)
  • Itemised invoice breaking down materials and labour
  • Signed work statement detailing what we did and why

We’re not loss adjusters, but this documentation meets what most RM-area insurers need. Take photos yourself if safe before we arrive, and keep your police reference number. Contact your insurer early—we can even liaise if required.
