10-Step Guide: What to Do After a Break-In

1. Stay Calm
   In the shock of a break-in, it's important to stay calm and focused.

2. Do Not Enter Your Home
   Never enter your property unless you are absolutely certain it is safe and that any intruders have left. Seek help from a neighbor if needed.

3. Call the Police Immediately
   Contact the police right away. Use a mobile phone, not your home phone, to avoid tampering with potential evidence, like fingerprints.

4. Avoid Touching Anything
   Do not disturb the crime scene. Leave everything exactly as you found it to preserve any important evidence.

5. Call Us for Immediate Assistance
   Contact Edinburgh Glass and Glazing at 01315 606720 for fast, professional help in securing your property.

6. Board Up Broken Windows or Doors
   To prevent further damage or intrusions, we can board up any broken windows or doors, making your home safe again.

7. Make a List of Stolen Items
   Write down all stolen items for police records and insurance claims.

8. Make Two Copies of the List
   Keep one copy for yourself and provide the other to your insurance company.

9. Contact Your Insurance Company
   Report the break-in to your insurer as soon as possible to begin the claims process.

10. Improve Your Home’s Security
    After a break-in, consider upgrading your home security with stronger locks, alarms, or other preventive measures.
