Why Immediate Post-Fire Boarding is Essential
Even after a fire is out, the dangers and risks to your property are far from over. Immediate boarding up addresses several critical issues:
- Security: Fire-damaged properties are often left with compromised windows, doors, and even walls, making them easy targets for looters, vandals, or squatters. Our fire damaged property security measures prevent unauthorised entry.
- Weather Protection: Holes in the roof, shattered windows, and damaged doors leave the interior exposed to rain, wind, and cold. This can lead to extensive water damage, mould growth, and further deterioration of the structure and contents.
- Safety: Fire-damaged buildings can be structurally unstable, with weakened floors, ceilings, and walls. Boarding up helps to secure dangerous areas and prevent accidental entry by curious individuals or children.
- Evidence Preservation: For insurance purposes and investigations, it’s crucial to preserve the scene. Our discreet boarding up ensures the property is secured without disturbing potential evidence.
