Burglary
There were 250,690 reported burglaries in England and Wales in 2022. A shocking number of these were achieved through accessing unlocked windows and doors, and it is very common for houses that have already been burgled to be burgled again.
If you have been unfortunate enough to suffer a burglary, we will repair the damage and ensure the security of your property. Timpson Security can also provide advice to minimise the chance of an all too frequent repeat burglary, upgrade your existing door locks, window locks or garage locks and even arrange to have domestic roller-shutters or grilles fitted to windows and doors. We ensure that our repairs and lock replacements are compliant with British standard 3621:2004 which is the standard required for most insurance companies, and make your safety our top priority.

Moving House
Moving house is a highly stressful experience in itself, and it’s understandable that reinforcing your home security can be overlooked in the chaos. However, unless you knew and trusted the previous tenants it is unlikely that you will know exactly how many sets of keys were cut and are in circulation for your new property.
It is highly recommended to change the locks once you move into a new property to avoid unnecessary risk. Not only can you ensure that unwanted visitors stay out, ensuring escape routes in case of an emergency is also important. Do you have windows that the keys have been lost to? Does the back door lock jam when you try and unlock it? These are all issues that Timpson Security can help with.
