Stay Safe This Festive Season with 24/7 Locksmith, Glazier, and Emergency Boarding-Up Services
Published 8 December 2025
Christmas Home Security: London Police's Top Tips & How We Can Help
As the festive season approaches, London transforms into a winter wonderland filled with sparkling lights, bustling streets, and joyful celebrations.
However, it’s also a time when burglary, vandalism, and emergency security incidents often rise sharply.
At Premier Security London, we take the safety of your home and family seriously, especially during this busy time of year.
Drawing on London Police’s top security recommendations and our years of expertise in locksmith services, glazing repairs, and emergency boarding up, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to keep your property secure this Christmas.
Understanding the Increased Risk During Christmas
The holiday period often means extended trips away from home, leaving properties vulnerable.
Increased deliveries, visible gifts, and festive distractions create opportunities for opportunistic criminals.London Police reports highlight that burglary rates can surge in December, making proactive security measures essential.
Whether you’re away visiting family or simply occupied with seasonal activities, criminals can spot signs of an empty home.
This is where Premier Security London’s rapid response team plays a crucial role in safeguarding your property.
Tip 1: Upgrade to High-Security Locks with Professional Locksmith Services
A strong first line of defence is robust, police-approved locks.
Many burglaries occur due to outdated or substandard locks that can be bypassed in seconds.Our expert locksmiths are on call 24/7 to:
Install British Standard BS3621 locks
Repair or replace faulty locks immediately
Provide emergency lockout services if you misplace your keys
By upgrading your locks before Christmas, you not only protect your home but also deter criminals who target weaker entry points.
Tip 2: Secure Windows and Glass Doors with Professional Glazing
Windows are among the most vulnerable areas in any property.
Damaged glass, old frames, or unsecured patio doors are easy targets for intruders.Our certified glaziers offer:
Double-glazing repairs for added insulation and security
Emergency glass replacement within 60 minutes of your call
Installation of laminated or toughened safety glass
In the event of vandalism or accidental damage during the festive period, our emergency glazier service ensures your property is sealed and safe immediately.
Tip 3: Boarding Up for Immediate Emergency Protection
If your property has been broken into or suffered accidental damage, leaving it exposed overnight is dangerous.
Premier Security London’s boarding up service provides instant protection.We:
Respond to emergency calls 24/7
Secure all vulnerable points, including doors and windows
Use high-grade materials to deter further entry attempts
Whether caused by burglary, storm damage, or vandalism, our boarding-up experts ensure your home remains protected until permanent repairs are made.
Tip 4: Install Security Lighting and Smart Surveillance
Poor lighting is a burglar’s best friend. Installing motion-activated security lights around entrances, side passages, and back gardens can deter intruders instantly.
Pair this with smart CCTV systems that allow you to monitor your property from anywhere.Our team can recommend and install high-resolution cameras that:
Send instant alerts to your phone
Record 24/7 for evidence
Integrate with your existing security setup
Visible security systems are proven to reduce burglary attempts, especially during high-risk periods like Christmas.
Tip 5: Maintain the Illusion of Occupancy
One of the simplest yet most effective deterrents is making your home look occupied, even when you’re away.London Police suggest:
Using smart timers for lights and electronics
Asking trusted neighbours to collect post and parcels
Avoiding public announcements of holiday plans on social media
We can assist by ensuring your locks, windows, and entry points are fully secure before you leave, giving you peace of mind.
Tip 6: Emergency Response You Can Rely On
Criminals don’t work 9-to-5, and neither do we.
Our emergency locksmith, glazier, and boarding-up teams operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including Christmas Day.We guarantee:
Fast arrival times anywhere in London
Fully qualified, insured professionals
Immediate solutions to secure your property
From a broken lock to smashed glass, we handle all urgent situations with speed and efficiency.
Tip 7: Comprehensive Home Security Assessment
A professional security assessment is the best way to identify weaknesses in your property’s defences.At Premier Security London, we provide:
Full inspection of doors, windows, locks, and outbuildings
Recommendations tailored to your property and budget
Upgrades that meet London Police’s Secured by Design standards
By acting now, you can safeguard your home not just for Christmas, but for years to come.
Tip 8: Protecting Businesses Over the Holiday Period
Commercial properties are equally vulnerable during the holidays, particularly when left unattended.Our commercial security services include:
Steel security door installation
Roller shutter repairs
Emergency boarding up after break-ins
Whether you run a retail store or office, we ensure your livelihood remains protected during seasonal closures.
