What Happens When You Call Us in Chadwell St Mary
Stressed after discovering damage? Here’s our straightforward 3-step process:
- Phone Assessment: Call 01708 973 306—describe the issue (e.g., “board up broken window after burglary”). We’ll ask about access, size, and urgency to confirm we’re the right fit.
- On-Site Arrival: We head out immediately, prioritising Chadwell St Mary and RM16 call-outs. Expect our team with tools, boards, and fixings ready—no long waits, though exact times vary by workload and conditions.
- Secure and Document: We board up using anti-tamper screws, provide time-stamped before/after photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer.
We focus on non-destructive methods where possible, but if a frame’s too damaged (common after forced entry), we’ll explain options on the spot.
Emergency Boarding Up and Make-Safe in RM16
Most calls from Chadwell St Mary are urgent: emergency boarding up to stop further damage or theft. We make properties secure against rain, wind, and intruders—vital in this area prone to Thames-side weather.
- Photos and Documentation: Every job includes hi-res, time-stamped images of the damage and our work. Plus a detailed invoice and statement outlining materials (e.g., 12mm OSB for smaller openings) and methods—exactly what insurers need for insurance claims.
- Why It Matters Here: With semis and terraces along Brentwood Road often unattended overnight, anti-tamper fixings prevent boards being prised off from outside.
Common call-outs we get in Chadwell St Mary: boarding up doors after burglaries, securing shopfronts near the A1089 retail spots, and temporary roof covers after storms hitting exposed ridges.
