Do I have to wait for police before repairs?

Police usually attend, take details and release the scene quickly. Ask them when they're done.

What to Do After a Break-In or Attempted Burglary

A break-in is shocking. Here's a clear order of priorities to get you back to safe and secure quickly.

Call 999 if it's happening or has just happened. Don't disturb potential evidence. Photograph all damage for insurance.

Call a 24-hour locksmith to replace damaged locks, fit anti-snap cylinders and board up severely damaged doors or windows so you can sleep.

Submit photographs and an itemised invoice to your insurer. Use the rebuild as an opportunity to upgrade weak points.

Call 0330 1335923 for fast, local help, 24/7.

Insurance covers like-for-like repair. Upgrades are usually at your own cost but often modest.
