What Happens When You Call Us

Our process keeps things simple, especially when you’re dealing with a smashed window or forced entry in RM18:

You call or message: Tell us the issue—board up broken window, secure property after burglary, out-of-hours door boarding. We’ll ask key details like location near Tilbury Ferry or access notes.
We assess and head out: No fixed arrival times (traffic on the A1089 varies), but we aim to attend urgent West Tilbury jobs as quickly as possible. On the phone, you’ll get a straight ETA.
We secure and document: We board up, take time-stamped before/after photos, and leave an itemised invoice plus work statement for your insurer.

Make-Safe and Insurance Documentation

After boarding up—whether it’s emergency window boarding for a residential break-in or shopfront boarding near industrial estates—we provide everything insurers need. Expect:

Clear photos showing damage and our fix (18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows, anti-tamper fixings).
Itemised invoice breaking down materials and labour.
Signed work statement detailing what we did and why (e.g., “temporary steel door fitted to prevent further entry”).

We’re not loss adjusters, but this paperwork smooths claims. Take your own photos if safe before we arrive, and keep your police reference number.
