Burglary Repair — what we cover
Emergency board-up
If your door, window, or panel can't be repaired immediately, we secure the opening with weatherproof OSB board. Lets you leave the property safely. Usually £149 including materials.
Lock replacement after forced entry
Burglars typically snap or drill cylinders. We replace with anti-snap (BS TS007 3-star) cylinders as standard — insurance often requires this. Same as a standard lock change but with insurance-compliant documentation.
Multipoint mechanism repair
Forced doors often damage the multipoint mechanism inside. We strip the door, replace bent gearboxes or hooks, and re-align everything so the door closes properly again.
Door frame & jamb repair
When the strike plate is ripped from the frame, we reinforce with longer screws into the brickwork, replace damaged wood, and refit the keep so the lock catches securely.
Insurance documentation
We provide a written incident report listing damage assessed, parts replaced, labour costs, and security upgrades. This is what your insurer needs for the claim. Photos available on request.

Burglary Repair Peterborough — frequently asked questions
Will my insurance cover the cost?
Most home insurance policies cover emergency repair after a confirmed break-in or attempted burglary. We provide full written documentation for the claim. Some policies require you to use a "preferred contractor" — call your insurer before booking us to check.
How quickly can you secure my home after a break-in?
Burglary repair gets priority. Typical response in main service areas: 30 minutes. Emergency board-up to make the property secure: another 15–30 minutes after arrival. Full repair (lock + frame): same visit, usually within 90 minutes.
Should I wait for the police before calling you?
Yes if possible. Police want to gather evidence (fingerprints, DNA) from the door and frame before anything is repaired. Once they've attended and confirmed you can clean up, call us immediately. Out-of-hours? Some forces tell you to secure the property first — in that case, call us straight away.
Do you provide receipts for insurance claims?
Yes, every job. Written receipt listing all parts, labour, photos of damage if you want, and a brief incident description. We can email these directly to your insurance claims handler if it speeds things up.
Can you upgrade my security to prevent another break-in?
Yes — that's usually the right time to do it. Anti-snap cylinders, reinforced strike plates, longer screws into brickwork, and sometimes a smart lock are all sensible upgrades. We'll discuss options on the day.
