What Happens When You Call Us

When a window gets smashed or a door kicked in, you need action, not delays. Here’s our straightforward 3-step process:

Call or message: Dial 01708 973 306 and tell us the issue—e.g., “board up broken window in Hornchurch”—plus your postcode. We’ll ask a few quick questions for a realistic ETA.
We attend and assess: Our team arrives equipped, surveys the damage (e.g., frame integrity for non-destructive fixes), and explains the plan before starting.
Secure and document: We fit the boarding (18mm plywood for windows, anti-tamper fixings), provide time-stamped before/after photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer.

We don’t quote fixed arrival times—traffic around the station or high street can vary—but urgent calls like “secure property tonight” get top priority.

Make-Safe and Insurance-Ready

After emergency boarding up in Hornchurch, your property is weatherproofed and protected from squatters or opportunists. We use exterior-grade 18mm plywood for larger openings like shopfronts or 12mm OSB for smaller domestic windows—chosen for strength without excess weight.

For insurance claims, everything’s documented:

Time-stamped photos of the damage and our work
Itemised invoice breaking down materials and labour
Signed work statement detailing methods (e.g., “anti-tamper screws into masonry to prevent outside removal”)

Take photos yourself if safe before we arrive, note your police reference (if applicable), and contact your insurer early. We’re not loss assessors, but our paperwork meets standard requirements.
