What Happens When You Call Us in Erith

We keep it simple and stress-free—especially out of hours or after a late-night smash.

Call or message: Dial 01322 952 450 or email info@boarding-up-dartford.co.uk. Tell us the issue—a smashed window on your Erith terrace, a shopfront hit on the high street, or roof damage near the Thames—and your postcode (DA8).
Quick assessment: We’ll ask a few details for a realistic ETA. No fixed guarantees, but we prioritise DA8 urgent jobs and aim to attend fast, traffic depending.
On-site and secure: Our team arrives equipped, sizes the opening, fits 18mm exterior-grade plywood or 12mm OSB with anti-tamper fixings, and leaves it weatherproof and secure. You’ll get time-stamped before/after photos via WhatsApp or email.

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.
