Emergency boarding
If a door or window has been forced or smashed, we board damaged entry points immediately so the property isn't exposed, then plan the permanent repair.

Our Burglary Repair Services
Lock and door repair
Forced entry usually damages the lock, cylinder or door. We replace what's broken with high-security anti-snap alternatives — a defeated lock should never simply be put back the same way.
Window and secondary security
We secure damaged windows and can upgrade the weak point that was used to get in, so the same route can't be used twice.
Insurance documentation
We can provide documentation of the damage and the work carried out to support your claim. Keep your police crime reference number to hand.
Free security assessment
Honest, no-pressure advice on the couple of changes that make the biggest difference to stopping a repeat.
Same-day response
Break-in repairs are treated as emergencies, and we prioritise getting your property secure as fast as we can reach you.

Do you provide paperwork for my insurance claim?
Yes — we can supply documentation of the damage and the work carried out. Have your police crime reference number ready, as your insurer will need it.
Should I change the locks even if they still work?
