Common Emergency Boarding Calls in Upminster

We get frequent out-of-hours requests here for board up broken window after vandalism near pubs, emergency boarding up post-burglary on quieter streets like Little Gaynes, or secure property after storm damage to exposed roofs. Shop owners on the high street often need smashed window fixes or shopfront boarded up urgently to reopen. Typical scenarios include:

A semi-detached house with a forced patio door— we fit anti-tamper fixings and a temporary steel door if needed.
Retail unit hit by impact damage—larger OSB panels for quick weatherproofing.
Vacant bungalow left open—steel security screens for medium-term protection.

These jobs highlight our local knowledge: parking can be tight near Upminster station, so we plan rear access where possible, especially for properties with long drives or flats above shops.
