Make Safe

Emergency property protection when it matters most.

SJ Baker Contract Works provides professional Make Safe services across the region, responding quickly to secure damaged properties and reduce further risk after unexpected events. As the local Make Safe representatives, we work with insurers, assessors and property owners to stabilise buildings and protect people until permanent repairs can be carried out.

What is Make Safe?

A Make Safe is immediate, temporary work carried out after damage to ensure a property is safe, secure and protected from further loss. This work is not a permanent repair. It is about controlling hazards and preventing additional damage following incidents such as storms, impact, fire or structural failure.

Our team understands the urgency and responsibility involved and carries out all Make Safe works safely, efficiently and in line with insurance and safety requirements.

Our Make Safe Services Include:

  • Emergency roof tarping - Temporary weatherproofing of damaged roofs and structures to prevent water ingress and further damage.
  • Securing damaged buildings - Boarding up broken windows, doors and openings to protect the property and prevent unauthorised access.
  • Structural stabilisation - Temporary propping or support of damaged walls, roofs or structural elements where required to reduce risk.
  • Hazard removal and isolation - Making areas safe by addressing immediate hazards such as loose materials or unsafe access points.
  • Temporary fencing and site safety - Installing barriers or fencing to protect occupants, neighbours and the public.
  • Coordination with insurers and assessors - We work closely with insurance companies, loss adjusters and builders to ensure Make Safe works are documented and compliant.
