Stephen
Archie was fantastic. He deserves the five stars given. Not only did he come in at the budget provided, but communicated several times and promptly on text and email. He arrived on time and even though we had supplied him with what a keylock company had said we needed - it was wrong - he went out and got the correct locks that were needed for the job and never charged extra or anything. He sent us an invoice after the job and we paid him. Simple. What a joy to get 5 star service in the current climate.

What does an emergency burglary repair involve?
The immediate priority following a break-in is making your property structurally secure against the elements and further intrusion. When a forced entry occurs, intruders frequently cause severe structural damage to the weakest points of a building, leaving entry points entirely compromised. A professional burglary repair specialist bypasses temporary, insecure fixes by providing heavy-duty structural remediation right away.
An emergency burglary repair typically moves through several critical security phases:
- Damage assessment and make-safe: Your specialist will immediately inspect the point of entry. If glass is shattered or doors are kicked in, they will perform heavy-duty boarding up using thick timber panels to weatherproof and secure the property overnight.
- Lock and hardware replacement: Any compromised locks, broken handles, or distorted euro-cylinders will be stripped out. Locksmiths will install high-security replacements, often upgrading your system to anti-snap, anti-drill cylinders to prevent future vulnerabilities.
- Structural carpentry repairs: If a door or window frame has been splintered, jarred, or ripped from its hinges, a specialist carpenter will repair or completely replace the timber or uPVC casing, ensuring the door closes flush and locks perfectly into the frame.
- Security upgrades: To prevent a recurrence, specialists often reinforce the repaired areas by installing steel hinge bolts, heavy-duty strike plates, or British Standard mortice locks.
What is the cost of typical burglary repair work?
The overall cost of a burglary repair project depends heavily on the entry method used by the intruder, the extent of the structural damage, and whether the work is requested out-of-hours (such as bank holidays or late at night).
- Minor securing jobs: A straightforward lock cylinder replacement or minor frame reinforcement on a standard timber door can be completed quickly and is highly cost-effective.
- Full-scale structural restorations: If an intruder has completely smashed a uPVC mechanism, split an expensive oak frame, or shattered large double-glazed panels, the repair requires extensive carpentry fabrication, new glazing units, and heavy-duty hardware. This involves a higher upfront investment but is vital for structural integrity and insurance compliance.

Factors to consider when choosing a security professional
Repairing a property after a break-in requires absolute precision. If a technician fits an incorrect lock size, fails to realign a distorted door frame, or leaves gaps in an emergency boarding setup, your home remains highly vulnerable to a secondary break-in and may fail to meet strict home insurance criteria.
Because fixing a poorly executed lock installation or an unaligned frame can compromise your home's safety, choosing a vetted professional from the start is essential. When selecting an emergency contractor on Rated People, look for specialists who:
- Possess verified, positive feedback from local clients highlighting speed and reliability.
- Carry valid public liability insurance to safeguard your home during structural work.
- Offer locks that comply explicitly with British Standard BS3621 (often required by insurers).
- Provide transparent pricing structures, particularly for emergency out-of-hours callouts.
Other burglary repair FAQ's
What should I do immediately before a burglary repair specialist arrives?
Before any repair work begins, you must contact the police to report the break-in and obtain a crime reference number. Avoid touching the damaged area or cleaning up debris until the police confirm they have finished gathering forensic evidence. You should also take clear, high-quality photographs of all the damage to support your upcoming home insurance claim.
Will my home insurance cover the cost of emergency burglary repairs?
In most cases, standard buildings and contents insurance policies cover the cost of emergency securing, lock changes, and structural repairs resulting from a break-in. However, you should check your specific policy details immediately. Ensure your chosen tradesperson provides a detailed, itemised invoice that clearly outlines the break-in damage to make your insurance claim process as smooth as possible.
What are British Standard locks, and why do I need them fitted?
British Standard locks (marked with the BSI Kitemark and typically code BS3621) have been rigorously tested against common forced entry methods like drilling, picking, and snapping. Most UK home insurance providers explicitly state in their terms that your external doors must be fitted with British Standard locks to validate your theft coverage.

Be very careful with these individuals, as there is a quoted price and the actual price they are really going to charge. As soon as the bathrooms wer ripped out leaks and other problems suddenly arose, adding at least £2000.00 to the bill. The shower pump was positioned under the bath where the only way to get to it was to open up a service hatch above the stairs, otherwise having to remove the bath and damage all the tiles. I paid for a new pump but they fitted one at least 4 years old. There's more......
