First Steps Our Engineer Takes at a Burgled Rainham Property

When a burglary occurs, our first priority is to secure your property immediately. We act swiftly to make the property safe again.

Here's our priority order on arrival:

  1. Immediate Security: We'll board up any forced doors or windows to secure the premises. If the frame is intact, we replace the cylinder the same day.
  2. Damage Assessment: We check the frame and strike plate. Many new composite doors withstand attacks with just a cylinder replacement. Older doors might need a carpenter, and we'll coordinate that for you.
  3. Comprehensive Lock Change: Every external door, including gates and garden accesses, receives a full lock change. This is vital for homes with rear or side access.
  4. Window Lock Checks: We inspect all ground-floor and basement window locks, ensuring they're secure, especially in vulnerable areas like ground-floor flats.

    We're here to help you regain security and confidence quickly and efficiently.

Upgraded Locks We Fit After a Break-In in Rainham

Securing your property after a burglary is just the beginning. We guarantee your home meets UK insurance specifications with our installations.

For every external door, we fit a TS007 3-Star anti-snap euro cylinder, a vital upgrade from old factory cylinders, which are often targeted by burglars. On wood doors, we retain or upgrade to a BS3621 mortice deadlock, servicing original mortices where heritage is a priority.

We also check UPVC and composite multipoint hook engagements, replacing any damaged gearboxes due to forced entry.

Ground-floor windows in specific areas, like Purfleet and Elm Park, receive key-operated locks if they're missing. Additionally, back-and-side doors in Rainham and Upminster benefit from the same 3-Star cylinder upgrade as the front door.

Our installations are designed to prevent future break-ins, providing security and compliance with insurers like Hiscox, Aviva, and AXA.

Period Door Repairs in Havering — Same-Day Fix or Heritage Joinery

Having sorted your insurance documentation, here are your options for restoring period doors after a burglary. We've got two main choices: same-day restoration or multi-day heritage joinery.

Same-day restoration offers quick security, getting us back to normal fast. It's perfect if you need the door secure immediately. We'll replace locks and board up efficiently, ensuring your home is secure.

On the other hand, multi-day heritage joinery focuses on preserving the character and charm of period doors. This option takes time, but it's worth it for maintaining historical integrity.

Skilled craftsmen will carefully restore original features, using traditional techniques and materials.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your priorities. If security is critical, same-day solutions are ideal. However, if preserving history is your goal, investing time in heritage joinery is the way to go.

Whatever you decide, we're here to help you through the process.

Full Lock Audit Across the Property Once It's Secure

Start by checking all doors, including front, back, and any patio or side entrances. Look for wear and tear or any signs of forced entry.

Don't forget the windows. They're often overlooked but just as important. Verify they've locks that work and aren't easily compromised.

Remember, even garages and sheds need attention since they can provide access to your main property.

During our audits, we recommend fitting BS3621 mortice deadlocks and TS007 3-Star Kitemark anti-snap euro cylinders. These meet UK insurance specifications and add an extra layer of security.
