Post-burglary security upgrades

Securing your home and stopping it happening again

A burglary is distressing, and the first priority is making the property secure tonight, repairing forced doors, replacing damaged locks, and getting you to a point where you can lock up and feel safe. Sam responds the same day and handles the immediate make-safe calmly and without fuss.

The second priority is making sure it doesn’t happen again the same way. Most break-ins exploit a known weak point: a snappable cylinder, a flimsy mechanism, an unsecured back door or window. Sam identifies how they got in and upgrades that weak point with anti-snap, anti-bump and reinforced locks so the same method won’t work twice.

If you’re making an insurance claim, Sam fits BS-rated locks that meet policy requirements and can provide documentation of the work. Post-burglary upgrades start from £140, fixed price before he starts, no call-out fee.

What we handle

How we secure your home after a break-in

From the immediate make-safe to closing the weak points, done in one same-day visit where possible.

Immediate make-safe

First we secure the property, repair or board forced doors, replace damaged locks, so you can lock up and feel safe the same day.

Anti-snap cylinders

Lock snapping is the most common entry method. We fit 3-star anti-snap cylinders that resist it directly, so the same trick won’t work again.

Anti-bump & reinforced

We upgrade vulnerable locks to anti-bump, anti-drill and reinforced systems, and strengthen strike plates and frames where they were forced.

Find the weak point

Burglars repeat what works. We identify exactly how they got in and close that specific vulnerability, not just replace what was broken.

Doors, windows & back access

Intruders target the weakest entry, often a back door or window. We secure every external point, not just the one that was forced.

Insurance documentation

We fit BS-rated, insurance-compliant locks and can document the work to support your claim and keep your future cover valid.

Transparent pricing

What do post-burglary upgrades cost?

Most companies won’t show you prices. We publish ours. You’ll always get a fixed quote before we start, with no call-out fee, no hidden charges.

All prices include labour. Out-of-hours callouts may carry a small supplement, always confirmed before you commit. We never start work without agreeing a price first.

Frequently asked questions

Sam responds the same day for post-burglary work, and 24/7 for urgent make-safe situations. The first job is securing the property so you can lock up and feel safe; the security upgrades can follow in the same visit where possible. Call 07700 100146.
Security upgrades start from £140 for a high-security lock fitted, and an emergency make-safe callout to secure a damaged door is from £80. Every break-in is different, so Sam assesses the damage and gives a fixed price before starting. No call-out fee.
Yes. Sam fits BS3621 and anti-snap locks that meet standard insurance policy requirements, and can document the work to support your claim and keep your future cover valid. Let him know your insurer’s requirements when you call.
Burglars repeat what works, so Sam identifies exactly how they got in and closes that specific weak point, usually a snappable cylinder or an unsecured secondary door. Upgrading to anti-snap and anti-bump locks directly defeats the most common methods.
