Why Reviews Matter For Emergency Boarding Up

Recent Testimonials From Across Medway

“Woke up to a smashed window in ME7. They talked me through what to do while I was on the phone, arrived with the right boards, and had the opening made safe quickly. Clear invoice for the insurer and photos of the before-and-after. Very professional.”
— Hannah R., Gillingham (ME7)

“Break-in at our small office in ME2. They fitted temporary boarding and explained options for a steel door if we needed longer-term security. Took extra care not to damage the frame. Neighbour said they were polite and tidy.”
— J. Patel, Strood (ME2)

“Shopfront boarding late at night after vandalism. Calm, respectful, and they secured the whole frontage with anti-tamper fixings. Sent me pictures immediately for my records. Would recommend.”
— M. Ahmed, Chatham (ME4)

“Rental property in ME5—tenants moved out, and a pane was cracked. Quick response, fair explanation of costs, and the board was cut neatly around a tricky bay window. Landlord-friendly paperwork.”
— Claire W., Walderslade (ME5)

“Storm damage to a roof light in ME3. They assessed it safely, weatherproofed, and explained limits until a glazier could replace the unit. Honest about what they could and couldn’t do.”
— T. Howard, Hoo St Werburgh (ME3)

“After a burglary we needed to secure property in ME1. They used 18mm ply and anti-tamper screws. The finish was solid, and they took the time to sweep up glass so my kids were safe.”
— Greg S., Rochester (ME1)

What Customers Consistently Highlight

• Clear communication in stressful situations (including out of hours).

• Respect for the property—non-destructive methods where possible.
• Insurance-ready documentation: itemised invoices, time-stamped photos, and a concise work statement.
• Realistic ETAs and honest limitations. We don’t promise fixed times; we prioritise urgent calls and give a realistic ETA when you ring.
