Getting Your Property Secure Again
A break-in leaves you vulnerable. Even if nothing was taken, a forced door means your property isn't secure until it's repaired. Insurance companies also require you to secure the property promptly. We know this is a stressful situation and we work quickly to put things right.
Call us on 0116 393 0320 and we'll come to you as fast as possible. We'll assess the damage, secure the door on the same visit where we can, and talk you through what permanent repairs are needed.
What We Fix After a Break-In
- Damaged or snapped cylinders, replaced with anti-snap alternatives
- Forced UPVC multi-point locks, mechanism replaced, door made secure
- Broken door frames and keeps, temporary boarding and longer-term repair advice
- Damaged handles and barrels, replaced with matching or equivalent parts
- Back doors and garage doors, padlocks, hasps, and secondary security hardware
- Emergency boarding when the door or frame needs more than same-day repair
Insurance and Documentation
Most household insurance policies require you to report the break-in to the police and obtain a crime reference number before a claim can be processed. If you haven't already, do that before calling us. We can provide a written report of the damage and work carried out, which your insurer may need.
We're familiar with what insurers need and can describe the repair in the terms they typically use. This isn't legal advice, but it does mean dealing with one fewer headache on a difficult day.
Upgrade while we're there. After a break-in is the right time to fit better locks. We'll recommend what would have stopped the entry and what would prevent it happening again. There's no obligation, but it's worth knowing.
