What Happens When You Call for Boarding Up in East Wickham
Stressed after finding a smashed window or forced door? Here’s our straightforward 3-step process:
- Call us on 01322 952 450—tell us the issue (e.g., board up door after vandalism), your DA16 location, and any access details. We’ll ask quick questions to prioritise.
- We attend and assess—no fixed arrival times as it depends on call volume and location, but urgent DA16 jobs get top priority. On-site, we check damage, explain options (e.g., 18mm plywood for windows), and confirm before starting.
- Secure and document—we fit the boarding with anti-tamper fixings, take time-stamped before/after photos, and leave you with an itemised invoice and work statement for your insurer.
This keeps things made safe against weather, intruders, or further damage—vital in East Wickham’s exposed spots near the A2.
Emergency Boarding Up and Make-Safe in DA16
Emergency boarding up East Wickham is our core service: temporary plywood or OSB panels fixed securely over damaged openings. We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for larger windows or 12mm OSB for doors, with screws that can’t be removed from outside. It’s not permanent, but it protects until glaziers or repairs arrive.
For insurance claims, we provide everything needed: photos showing the damage and our fixings, a detailed work statement (what we did, materials used, time taken), and an itemised invoice. We’re not loss adjusters, but this documentation matches what DA16 insurers expect. Take your own photos first if safe, note your police reference (if applicable), and contact your insurer early—we’ll invoice them directly if requested.

- Secure property post-burglary in terraced homes off Upper Wickham Lane
