North Ockendon sits in the quieter, semi-rural edge of the RM14 postcode in Havering, with its mix of family homes, bungalows, and detached properties along lanes off the A128. When a burglary hits an outlying house, a storm cracks a roof near Upminster station, or vandalism smashes a window on a property close to Upminster Bridge station, you need boarding up specialists who know the area. We prioritise urgent calls across RM14—emergency boarding up to board up broken windows, secure damaged doors, or make safe after any incident. No fixed arrival times, but we’ll give you a realistic ETA when you call.

What Happens When You Call Us

Our process keeps things straightforward, especially when you’re dealing with a smashed window or break-in in North Ockendon.

You call or request a callback: Tell us the issue—e.g., “board up door after burglary”—and your RM14 location. We ask key details like access and damage extent.
We assess and quote an ETA: Based on workload and location (quicker for central RM14 spots like near Upminster High Street), we prioritise and confirm when a DBS-checked technician can attend.
We arrive, secure, and document: Using 18mm plywood for windows or temporary steel doors where needed, we fix securely with anti-tamper screws. You get time-stamped photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer.

We handle make-safe properly: weatherproofing to prevent further damage, non-destructive where possible (e.g., coach bolts into frames), and clear explanations if a damaged frame needs alternatives. This documentation helps with insurance claims—keep your police reference if it’s a crime.

Emergency Boarding Up Services in North Ockendon

We focus on rapid response for board up broken window, board up door, shopfront boarding, and roof securing across RM14. For smaller residential openings like in North Ockendon’s bungalows, we use 12-18mm OSB or plywood cut to size. Larger jobs, such as shopfronts near Upminster, get heavier-duty panels.

Window boarding: Secures smashed or vulnerable glazing—common after stones thrown at homes here.
Door boarding: Temporary fix or steel door install for forced entries.
Shopfront boarding: For any retail units in the area, with roller shutter alternatives.
Roof boarding: Tarps over plus overhead securing for storm-hit skylights.

These prevent squatters, weather ingress, or repeat break-ins while insurers decide on repairs.

Common Situations We Handle in RM14

North Ockendon’s semi-rural setup means call-outs for secure property after burglary, storm damage boarding, and vandalism stand out—farms and isolated homes are targets.

Burglary/break-in: Board up the entry point fast; we see this after dark in outlying properties.
Vandalism: Smashed windows from kids or opportunists—quick plywood fix.
Storm damage: High winds off the A128 rip slates; we weatherproof roofs temporarily.
Fire or flood: Secure post-incident (no remediation); swollen frames from nearby fields flooding.

Take photos if safe, note details for police/insurer, then call us for temporary boarding.
