What Happens When You Call Us

We keep it simple and straightforward, especially out of hours:

Tell us the details: Share your postcode (IG2 or nearby), the damage (e.g., board up broken window, secure shopfront) and any access notes. We’ll give a realistic ETA based on current jobs.
We attend and assess: Our DBS-checked technician arrives with tools and materials. We explain options on-site—non-destructive fixings where possible.
Secure and document: Job done, you get time-stamped before/after photos, an itemised invoice and work statement for your insurer.

No fixed arrival times—traffic around Gants Hill roundabout and workload vary—but we aim to attend urgent IG2 call-outs as quickly as possible.

Make-Safe After Damage in Gants Hill

Whether it’s a post-burglary board up or storm-damaged roof near the station, our focus is making your property weatherproof and secure. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for windows and doors, or 12mm OSB for smaller openings, with anti-tamper fixings that can’t be prised off from outside. For shopfronts on Cranbrook Road, heavier-duty panels handle high-traffic areas.

You’ll receive full documentation: photos showing the damage and our fix, plus a detailed work statement outlining materials and methods. This is what insurers need—we’re not loss adjusters, but we’ve helped hundreds claim boarding-up costs. Take your own photos before we arrive if safe, and keep your police reference number.
