Emergency call-out · Sheffield and surrounding towns
Free security survey
No call-out fee · Non-destructive entry where possible · Price agreed before I start
You will speak to Stuart Haywood, who will be the person who turns up.
I will come and look at your property and tell you honestly how secure it is. No charge, and no obligation to have any work done.
I will check the locks on your external doors, the windows, the way the doors sit in their frames, and the obvious weak points such as a snappable cylinder or a back gate nobody has thought about. Then I will tell you what I would do, in what order, and roughly what each thing costs.
That will often include telling you that something is fine as it is. A survey where everything turns out to need replacing is a sales visit, not a survey, and you can usually tell the difference by whether anybody says the word "no".
You probably need this if
- You have just moved in and do not know what you have got
- There have been break-ins locally and you want a straight answer
- Your insurer has asked about your locks
- You are not sure whether what you have is actually any good
- You are a landlord checking a property between tenancies
What happens
- I walk round the property with you
- I check the external doors, windows and the way they sit in their frames
- I tell you what is fine, what is worth doing and what I would not bother with
- You get the list and the costs, and you decide in your own time
