What Happens When You Call for Boarding Up in Loughton IG10

Quick Assessment: Tell us about the damage—smashed window, kicked-in door, or shopfront hit—and your location in IG10. We’ll ask key details like access issues or if it’s safe to approach.
Realistic ETA: No guarantees on exact times (traffic and workload vary), but we aim to attend urgent Loughton call-outs as fast as possible, often within the hour for high-priority jobs near the station.
On-Site Securing: Our team arrives equipped, sizes up the opening (e.g., 18mm plywood for windows), fixes securely with anti-tamper screws, and leaves you with time-stamped before/after photos, an itemised invoice, and a work statement for your insurer.

Emergency Boarding Up and Make-Safe in Loughton

Most calls to Loughton IG10 are urgent: “board up broken window”, “secure property after burglary”, or “emergency boarding up out of hours”. We focus on making your property weatherproof and secure fast—preventing further damage or theft while you sort insurance or repairs.

Post-burglary: Board up doors and windows to secure property after burglary straight away.
Vandalism: Quick fix for smashed panes on high street shops or residential glass.
Storm damage: Temporary covers for roofs or blown-out windows, vital near Epping Forest where winds hit hard.
Fire or flood: Secure openings without remediation—we provide the documentation insurers need (see our insurance claims guide).

We use 18mm exterior-grade plywood for larger openings like shopfronts, or 12mm OSB for smaller windows—anti-tamper fixings ensure they can’t be prised off from outside. If frames are too damaged, we’ll explain options before cutting or replacing.

Shopfront boarding: Heavy-duty panels for High Road units, minimising downtime.
Roof boarding: Secure skylights or storm-hit roofs with access gear for tricky pitches.
