Longlands, with its mix of 1930s semis, family homes, and flats tucked near Sidcup station, sees plenty of call-outs for emergency window boarding or door boarding up—especially when vandalism strikes or a burglary leaves a property exposed.

No fixed arrival times—we aim fast based on conditions—but we’re nearby in the DA area.
What Happens When You Call Us
