Burglary Repairs & Emergency Boarding Up in Swansea
After a break-in the priority is making the property secure again the same day. I attend 24/7, get the door or window locked and safe, and provide the paperwork your insurer will ask for.
What's included
- 24/7 emergency attendance after a break-in or attempted entry
- Damaged doors and frames made secure and lockable again
- Snapped cylinders and forced mechanisms replaced on the spot
- Boarding up where glass or frames cannot be secured immediately
- Itemised invoice suitable for an insurance claim
Getting secure the same day
Insurers generally require a property to be made secure without delay, and most policies won't cover a second loss through a door you knew was broken. My first job on site is to get the property lockable — even if a permanent repair needs parts ordering.
Repairing the weak point, not just the damage
A break-in tells you exactly where your security failed. If a cylinder was snapped, replacing it like-for-like leaves you open to the identical attack. I fit anti-snap TS007 3-star cylinders, reinforce strike plates and point out any other doors on the property with the same vulnerability.
Insurance paperwork
You'll get a clear, itemised invoice describing the damage found and the work done, which is normally all a claims handler needs alongside the crime reference number.
Burglary Repairs & Boarding Up — common questions
Should I call the police first?+
Yes — report it and get a crime reference number before anything is repaired. Then call me and I'll make the property secure. Insurers will want both.
Can you come out at night?+
Yes, 24 hours a day with no unsociable-hours surcharge. A property left insecure overnight is not something to wait on.
Will you provide something for my insurer?+
Yes, an itemised invoice describing the damage and the work carried out, which is what claims handlers normally ask for.
