Emergency Boarding Up and Make-Safe in Erith DA8
Most calls in Erith are emergencies: a board up door after a burglary near Slade Green, or emergency window boarding for vandalism on terraced homes. We focus on making your property secure against further damage or intruders—vital if it’s unattended overnight.
- Post-burglary or vandalism: Secure the entry point with plywood or a temporary steel door if needed. We explain options if the frame’s too damaged.
- Storm or accident damage: Weatherproof openings quickly, using larger panels for bay windows common around Erith station.
- Shopfront boarding: Heavy-duty fixings for high street retail units—prevents looting while you arrange glaziers.
We provide full insurance-ready paperwork: itemised invoice, work statement detailing materials and methods (e.g., “18mm plywood, 6 anti-tamper screws per panel”), and photos. We’re not loss adjusters, but this covers what insurers in the DA area typically require. Take your own photos first if safe, and note your police reference number.
