Emergency door replacement and repair
The doors take the brunt of a break-in, so they are usually the first thing we put right. We repair and replace domestic and commercial doors damaged in a break-in, from a splintered frame or a kicked-in panel to a door that needs to be completely replaced.
Our London carpenters repair and rehang damaged doors, replace broken frames and architraves and repair surrounding timber so the door closes, locks and seals as it should. If a door is beyond repair, we’ll fit a secure replacement, and if the damage cannot be rectified in one visit, we’ll make your property safe first before returning on an agreed date and time.
Boarding up and emergency glazing
If a window or glass panel has been smashed, or a door cannot be secured right away, we board up the opening to keep the property safe and weatherproof until a permanent repair can be made. We then replace broken glazing and windows to restore the property properly.
Lock replacement after a break-in
We have a team of fully certified emergency locksmiths in London who can attend your property quickly. We change and upgrade locks and cut keys if necessary. Whether they are needed for a door or window, our skilled team will ensure all access points are secure with insurance-approved locks.
Our Happy Clients
What to do after a break-in
A break-in can be a stressful, worrying and emotional time, but acting in the right order helps keep you safe and make insurance claims more straightforward. Follow the steps below as soon as you realise you have been burgled.
- If the burglary is in progress or there is a safety risk, call 999. If the break-in has already happened, and there is no immediate danger, call 101.
- Get a crime reference number from the police; this will be useful during the claims process.
- Do not disturb the scene. As much as you may want to enter to check what has happened, you run the risk of tainting evidence and invalidating insurance claims.
- Get pictures and videos of the damage. Once the police allow you to enter the property again, take photos or record videos of the damage. This is another useful asset for your insurer.
- Speak to your insurer to report the break-in.
- Call our team on 020 7186 0270 to organise securing the property and any necessary repairs.
Can I claim for burglary repairs on insurance?
Most home and commercial insurance policies cover damage caused by a break-in, including doors, windows, locks and frames. To support your claim, report the burglary to the police and get a crime reference number, photograph or video the damage, and keep receipts for any emergency work that is completed.
We’ll provide you with clear, itemised pricing for your burglary repair so you have exactly what the insurer needs when you make a claim. If the work we do isn’t covered by your insurance, the price we quote is the price you pay, so you are never hit by surprise fees or hidden charges.
Commercial burglary repairs
A break-in at a shop, office or commercial property needs a fast response to secure the building, protect your stock and keep the business trading. Our team of locksmiths, glaziers, carpenters and more can all be dispatched quickly to minimise downtime and disruption. If fire doors require installation after burglary, we only use installers that are fully qualified in the safe and compliant installation of fire doors via FireQual. Each installation is also in accordance with BS 8214:2016 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
For managing agents, facilities teams and landlords, we can coordinate access and invoicing to suit your process, and attend outside trading hours if preferred.
