What Happens When You Call Us

Our process is straightforward, even in the stress of a break-in or storm damage:

  1. Phone Assessment: Tell us the issue—board up broken window, secure a shopfront, or make safe after vandalism. We’ll ask for postcode (RM1?) and basic details to prioritise.
  2. On-Site Arrival: We aim to attend quickly, carrying stock for typical jobs like 18mm plywood for windows or temporary steel doors.
  3. Secure and Document: We board up using anti-tamper fixings, take time-stamped photos (before/after), and provide an itemised invoice plus work statement for your insurer.

This keeps things practical: you’re back to claiming on insurance without loose ends.
