Security Tips

Our Top 5 for Homes & Businesses

Here’s our breakdown of the top 5 tips we have for making your home or business more secure without spending a penny. However, if you want more expert advice, contact us to see how we can help secure your property.

  1. Fences, walls, and hedges should be high enough to deter a thief, but not so high as to allow them to work unseen.
  2. All external doors should be solid and a minimum of 1 3/4″ think. Key locks and deadbolts should be of a high quality, as should the door frame (a solid door is of little security without a solid frame)
  3. Don’t leave unattached ladders outside the building. They can be used to enter your home. Same goes for any tools – make sure everything is locked away, preferably with good quality locks.
  4. When you are away, do not leave any clues that there is no-one there, i.e. leave a light on timer so that it comes on every evening, cancel deliveries, divert landline numbers to a mobile phone.
  5. Don’t leave a spare key under a mat, in a flower bed, under a rock etc, burglars will find it because they know where to look. We also offer a Keyholding Service – click here to learn more.
