Emergency Burglary Repair in Bournemouth

Bournemouth gives me more burglary repair work than anywhere else I cover, which matches what the police numbers say. Police.uk logs 121 burglaries within a mile of the town centre in the year to May 2026, nearly double Poole's figure, and forty of those fell in December and January alone. The housing takes the brunt in its own way, forced communal doors on the converted Victorian houses through Charminster, Springbourne and Boscombe, snapped cylinders on the estate doors at Kinson and West Howe, and flats standing insecure with a landlord two counties away. My job is to get the door solid again the same visit, whoever's door it is.

Flats, HMOs and landlords, the Bournemouth reality

Half the calls here start with somebody who doesn't own the door. If you're a tenant, ring your landlord or agent, then ring me, I can invoice them directly and I'll secure the property either way, nobody sleeps behind a broken door while paperwork gets argued. If you're a landlord getting this call from two hours away, I'll attend, photograph everything for you and the insurer, secure the flat and report back with what was damaged and what I did. Where a communal entrance has been forced I can make it close and lock tonight and quote the management company for the proper repair in daylight. And in a shared house I can put a solid lock on an individual room the same visit, because sometimes that's what lets someone stay the night.

Fix it better than it was

A burglary repair that rebuilds the door exactly as it was is an invitation. Snapped plain cylinders get TS 007 three-star anti-snap replacements. Wrecked multipoint gearboxes get new mechanisms, not bodges. Splintered timber frames get repaired and the keeps re-seated in solid wood, with London and Birmingham bars where a frame needs real reinforcement. The December and January spike in the police.uk numbers is as good a reason as any not to put the weak lock back on in November.
