Make-Safe and Insurance in IG8
Securing the property is our focus—temporary boarding for windows, doors, or roofs keeps out rain, intruders, and vermin until glaziers or builders arrive.

Keep your police reference if it’s a crime—take safe photos beforehand if you can. Contact your insurer early; most policies cover emergency boarding up like this.
