Immediate Steps to Secure Your Property After a Break-In
If you have been the victim of a burglary, it’s important to act quickly.
- Call the Police: Your first action should always be to contact the Metropolitan Police. Do not touch anything until they have attended the scene. They will provide you with a Crime Reference Number (CRN), which is essential for your insurance claim.
- Call Us: Once the police have finished, call us. We will dispatch a technician to your location immediately to carry out break-in boarding.
- Contact Your Insurer: Inform your insurance company about the incident. Our professional service and detailed invoice will be a key part of your insurance claim.
How Our Burglary Repair Service Helps
Our service is more than just putting boards over a hole. It’s about restoring your security and peace of mind.
Securing Vulnerable Entry Points
Burglars often cause significant damage by forcing doors and smashing windows. We specialise in:
- Door Boarding Up: We securely board up entire doorways where doors have been kicked in or locks have been forced, using heavy-duty timber and anti-tamper fixings.
- Window Boarding: We remove shattered glass safely and install robust boards to cover the opening, protecting you from the elements and further intrusion.
Police-Recommended Security
Securing a property after a crime is a step frequently recommended by the police to prevent opportunistic repeat incidents. Our professional service ensures the job is done right, providing a strong visual and physical deterrent.
Support for Your Insurance Claim
We have extensive experience working with clients who are making insurance claims. We provide:
- Photographic Evidence: We can take photos of the damage for your records.
- Detailed Invoices: Our itemised invoices clearly state the work was required as the result of a burglary, which is exactly what insurers need to see.
- Compliance: Our methods meet the “reasonable steps” requirement of most insurance policies.
Temporary Secure Doors
In cases where a front door is completely destroyed, we can often supply and fit a temporary steel door. This provides a much higher level of security than timber boarding and allows you to use the entrance normally while you wait for a permanent replacement.
FAQs About Post-Burglary Securing
### How soon should I get my property boarded up after a break-in?
Immediately. As soon as the police have completed their forensic examination, your property should be secured. Leaving it vulnerable, even for a short time, can invite further crime and may affect your insurance claim.
### My door frame is completely broken. Can you still board it up?
Yes. Our experienced technicians can secure boards to the surrounding brickwork if the frame itself is too damaged to provide a solid fixing point. We will always find the most secure method possible.
### Will my property be secure enough overnight?
Absolutely. Our professional boarding is designed to provide a high level of security. We use thick boards and strong, anti-tamper fixings that cannot be easily removed from the outside, ensuring you are safe through the night.
Take the First Step to Feeling Secure Again. Let our professional and empathetic team take care of securing your property, so you can focus on everything else.
