What Happens When You Call Us in Erith Marshes

We keep it simple, especially out of hours. Here’s the typical process:

On-Site Arrival: We aim to attend as quickly as possible, carrying stock for most jobs. Expect time-stamped before-and-after photos.
Secure and Document: We board up using 18mm exterior-grade plywood or 12mm OSB for smaller openings, with anti-tamper fixings. You get an itemised invoice, work statement, and photos—everything your insurer needs.

No fixed arrival times—conditions like traffic near Erith station or parking in industrial areas vary—but we prioritise DA18 calls and update you en route.

Emergency Boarding Up and Make-Safe in Erith Marshes

Most calls from Erith Marshes are urgent: secure the property after something’s gone wrong. We focus on weatherproofing and preventing further damage or theft. Common here? Break-ins to storage units near the marshes, storm-blown debris from the Thames, or vandalism on exposed sites.

Board up broken windows: Quick plywood covers for residential or commercial glass damage.
Board up doors: Temporary steel doors if frames are wrecked.
Shopfront boarded up: Larger panels for any retail units off the A220.
Make safe roofs: Tarps and boarding for leaks after gales.

We’re not loss assessors, but our documentation (photos, invoices) supports insurance claims smoothly. Take photos before we arrive if safe, and note your police reference if it’s a crime. For full details, see our 24-hour emergency boarding up in Dartford page.

Services We Offer in DA18 Erith Marshes

Beyond emergencies, we provide targeted securing:

Window boarding: For cracked panes or forced entries—anti-tamper screws stop inside tampering.
Door boarding up: Including temporary steel doors for medium-term security on vacant sites.
Shopfront boarding: Heavy-duty for commercial frontages near Erith high street.
Roof boarding: Access ladders for skylights or flat roofs common in local industrial buildings.

We explain options on-site—if a frame’s too damaged, we’ll discuss non-destructive vs permanent fixes.

Situations We Handle Locally

Erith Marshes sees its share of incidents due to its semi-rural, industrial edge:

Burglary repairs: Secure after theft—vital for unattended warehouses.
Vandalism repair: Smashed glass from joyriders or grudge attacks.
Storm damage: High winds off the Thames batter roofs and windows.
Fire damage: Post-blaze securing (smoke cleanup is out of scope).
Flood damage: Swollen frames from marsh proximity or heavy rain.

Contact your insurer early—we provide what they need without advising on claims.
