T&K is Secured By Design Approved!

Here at T&K, we pride ourselves on providing bespoke double glazed home improvements to customers in Northamptonshire and the surrounding areas. If you’re looking for replacement windows, stunning doors, extensions to your living space or maintenance on your roofline, we’ve got you covered with our personalised range. If you’re looking to save money on those bothersome energy bills, whatever the weather, we’ve definitely got a home improvement to suit you. 

We’re proud to announce to our valuable customers that we are now approved by Secure By Design. This accreditation gives you extra confidence when purchasing with us, knowing your designs are fitted securely and built to last. We’re positive you’ll love the range of safe, secure and durable home improvements we offer- but if you needed that extra push, our accreditation by this police-backed initiative could be the perfect thing. We’ll delve into this accreditation fully in this news post, and describe what it means in detail- and why it matters to homeowners in your local area. 

Secured By Design is an initiative by the UK police to crack down on unsafe home improvement designs, offering advice and a detailed specification for designing safe and secure home improvement solutions. The initiative works to keep homes and public spaces safe- whether from intruders, thieves, or other opportunistic criminals. Secured By Design offers a Police Preferred Specification, which is a set of guidelines for security products that work to deter crime in your area. We’re proud to have made the list of companies that provide attack resistant crime prevention products, across thirty different crime categories- keeping you safe no matter what. If you’re looking for a new secure door, window, extension or roofline, we’ve got you covered here at T&K- working to protect your home and the things you love. 

Secured By Design is the only way for companies to be recognised for security-related products by the police in the UK. This makes our accreditation all the more important. We adhere to the specialist design guides set out by the UK police force, constantly working to protect your home. To be on the list of companies that truly cares about your safety means the world to us, and we’re very happy to share this good news with you!

Secured By Design doesn’t just look good on paper- it’s a true test of our abilities to defend your home. With a number of test houses across the UK, the Secured By Design initiative tests products and services to the limit, to ensure they provide safety and security for your home in a range of criminal situations. Their guidelines work to be practical, strict, and easily enforced- working with the forefront of police security as it grows more and more sophisticated. With Secured By Design products, such as those offered by T&K, you can be sure your new home improvements have been tested to ensure they’re safe and secure. 

So- why does being approved by Secure By Design matter? In this day and age, criminals are becoming more and more sophisticated- making it harder to defend your home against them. On a list of common burglary hotspots supplied by Mail Online, burglaries have risen in both Northamptonshire and Leicestershire in the last year- making it more important to protect your home than ever. With crime on the rise, there’s no better time to opt for a company that’s accredited by Secure By Design when it comes to improving your home. Aggravated burglaries are also on the rise- with 3,536 burglaries reported in 2022, where the criminal was armed with a firearm or other weapon. In these cases, it’s extra important that your doors, windows, extensions and roofing provide much-needed protection, buying you valuable time in the case of an emergency. When it comes to your safety, T&K cares to make your home the best it can be. Secured By Design works to make sure homes in the UK are protected against these common criminal activities- making your home a headache for any potential intruder. 

If you’re looking for safe, secure windows, doors, conservatories and rooflines in the Northamptonshire area, trust T&K with your next home improvement project. We have the know-how to make your project perform as good as it looks. Upgrading older, tired windows and doors are a great way to fortify your home, making life hard for any would-be criminal. In the summertime, when people are likely to leave their homes for their holidays, it’s even more important that your home is protected- especially while you’re away!
