What Happens When You Call Us in Dagenham
We keep it simple and reassuring, especially when you’re dealing with a smashed window near Dagenham Heathway station or a forced door on a quiet cul-de-sac.
- You call or email: Describe the damage (e.g., “shopfront boarded up needed after vandalism”). We ask about access, property type, and police/insurer details if relevant.
- We assess and quote: Over the phone, we explain options like 18mm plywood for windows or temporary steel doors. No surprises—we note any challenges like high-level access above shops on Heathway.
- We attend and secure: Our team arrives equipped, fixes with anti-tamper screws, and leaves time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer.
Typical jobs in RM8 take 1-2 hours for a standard window, longer for shopfronts or roofs. If the frame’s too damaged, we’ll flag it upfront.
Emergency Boarding Up and Make-Safe in Dagenham
Dagenham’s mix of 1930s semis, terraces around Becontree station, and retail units on the high street sees plenty of urgent needs. We’re geared for emergency boarding up—board up doors, weatherproof roofs after storms, or secure properties post-burglary. Our focus: prevent further damage or theft while you sort insurance.
- Windows: 18mm exterior-grade plywood or 12mm OSB cut to fit, fixed securely. Ideal for broken windows from vandalism or accidents.
- Doors: Heavy-duty boarding or temporary steel doors for forced entries—anti-tamper fixings stop removal from outside.
- Shopfronts: Larger panels for commercial glazing on busy stretches like Heathway; we handle shutter access too.
- Roofs/Skylights: Tarp underlay plus boarding for storm-hit openings, especially on flats above shops.
We provide full make-safe documentation: before/after photos (time-stamped), materials list, and a signed statement insurers need. We’re not loss assessors, but this covers most claims. Take your own safe photos first and note your police reference.
