Whether it’s your London home or business premises, a break-in leaves not only physical damage but also emotional distress.
The key to recovery lies in acting quickly, securing your property, restoring safety, and preventing future intrusions.
At Instant Glass and Glazing, we specialise in emergency burglary repairs across London, offering rapid response, expert craftsmanship, and 24/7 security solutions. Our team of qualified glaziers are committed to restoring your peace of mind fast.
Below, we’ll guide you through the essential steps to take after a break-in, how to repair the damage, and how Instant Glass and Glazing can help secure your property permanently.Always report the burglary to the Metropolitan Police before touching or cleaning anything. This helps preserve evidence that could lead to the capture of the intruders. Once the police have investigated, request a crime reference number for your insurance claim and repair documentation.
Assess all damaged areas carefully — check doors, locks, windows, frames, and glass panels. Thieves often cause structural damage when forcing entry. If your property is unsafe or exposed, contact Instant Glass and Glazing immediately for emergency securing services.
Every minute your property remains unprotected increases your risk of another break-in. Instant Glass and Glazing offers emergency boarding up, lock replacement, and glazing repair services available 24/7 across London. Our rapid response teams arrive within 30 to 60 minutes, securing your property and restoring safety instantly.
At Instant Glass and Glazing, we understand that burglaries can happen anytime, day or night. That’s why our emergency response team operates round-the-clock, providing same-day repairs and professional security reinstatement for both residential and commercial clients.
If a window or glass door is shattered, our team provides immediate boarding up using durable, reinforced timber. This temporary yet secure barrier keeps out intruders and weather elements until new glass can be installed.
We offer emergency lock replacement using British Standard (BS3621) locks and high-security mechanisms from trusted brands like Yale, ERA, and Ultion. Our expert locksmiths can also reinforce door frames, strike plates, and hinges to prevent forced entry.
Our specialists repair or replace all types of damaged glass, including double glazing, safety glass, laminated glass, and shopfront panels. Instant Glass and Glazing uses impact-resistant materials designed to improve security without compromising aesthetics.
For homeowners, we offer complete home security restoration, from window glass repair to reinforced locking systems and security assessments. Our goal is to make your home feel safe again with long-lasting, discreet, and secure repairs.
Businesses across London rely on Instant Glass and Glazing to protect their offices, retail shops, and warehouses. We provide commercial shopfront glazing, roller shutter repair, and security upgrades to minimise downtime and financial loss.
Replacing old or damaged windows with double-glazed, laminated, or toughened glass strengthens your property’s defences. These advanced materials resist impact and make it significantly harder for intruders to gain entry.
If a door is beyond repair, we can install new UPVC, composite, or solid wood doors fitted with multi-point locking systems for maximum durability and protection. Every installation is tailored to meet both security and insurance standards.
At Instant Glass and Glazing, our mission is to provide fast, reliable, and professional burglary repair services that restore your peace of mind without delay. Here’s how we help homeowners and businesses throughout London:

With Instant Glass and Glazing, there are no hidden fees and no call-out charges. You’ll receive a transparent quotation before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect.
Beyond emergency repairs, we offer comprehensive security upgrades, including CCTV installation, security film application, and smart locking systems to safeguard your property against future intrusions.
Burglars often exploit weak locks. Installing anti-snap, anti-drill, and anti-pick locks can greatly reduce the risk of forced entry. Instant Glass and Glazing provides expert installation for all lock types, ensuring maximum protection.
A visible CCTV system is one of the most effective deterrents against theft. Pair it with a monitored alarm for 24-hour surveillance and instant alerts to potential threats.
Reinforce vulnerable windows and entrances with steel grilles, mesh barriers, or roller shutters. These not only deter burglars but also enhance the physical security of your building.
Strategically placed motion-sensor lights illuminate dark areas around your property, making it harder for intruders to approach unnoticed.
This transparent film strengthens glass and prevents shattering on impact, offering an inexpensive yet powerful upgrade to your property’s defences.
Ensure you take photographs of all damages, keep receipts for repairs, and provide these with your insurance claim.
Instant Glass and Glazing can issue detailed invoices and documentation for all emergency repairs, ensuring a smooth and stress-free claim process.

Single-glazed windows on older or period properties are not made using
low-emissivity coated glass and do not offer energy-saving benefits; the
same goes for the old-style double-glazed units. Save money on monthly
bills and increase thermal insulation with double or triple-glazed
windows that prevent heat from escaping your home. Depending on
your requirements, we will advise you on the best way forward in
upgrading your windows and doors.
