Private Residences
Discreet fire, intruder, CCTV and access systems for private homes across London, designed around the property, the insurer and the people who live there.
The Requirement
A high value home is a different problem to a standard domestic install. The contents are worth protecting properly, the insurer usually has specific requirements in writing, and the building itself is often period, listed or recently and expensively finished. None of that suits a box off the shelf and a day's labour.
The people are the other difference. A private residence has cleaners, contractors, a nanny, a housekeeper, deliveries and guests moving through it, often when the family is away. The system has to handle that without the owner handing out the same code to everyone, and without turning their home into a building with a turnstile.
We survey, design and install systems that meet the insurance requirement, sit sympathetically in the property, and are simple enough that they actually get set every night. A system that is too complicated to use is a system that gets left off.
Typical Specification
Systems to EN 50131 and PD 6662 at the grade your insurer specifies, with monitored signalling and police response where the certification supports it. Wireless and hybrid where the fabric of the building demands it.
Gates, driveways, garden boundaries, outbuildings and garaging. Detection at the boundary rather than at the back door, so an approach is known about early.
Cameras positioned for identification at approaches and entrances, specified and sited with your neighbours' privacy in mind as well as your own.
Detection appropriate to a home with sleeping risk, including plant rooms, cinema rooms and basements, specified so it does not nuisance every time somebody cooks.
Video entry at the gate and door, plus credentials for household staff and contractors that can be issued and withdrawn individually rather than shared.
Dedicated protection for safes, dressing rooms, watch and jewellery storage, wine rooms and car collections, on their own zone and their own permissions.
Insurance
High value home policies are usually specific. They commonly call for an alarm at a stated grade, professional monitoring, sometimes police response, and occasionally physical requirements for safes or specific rooms. Cover can be affected if what is installed does not match what was agreed.
Send us the policy wording or the surveyor's report before anything is designed. It is far cheaper than discovering at claim stage that the system did not satisfy a condition.
Discretion
Period and listed properties need cable routes through existing voids and devices chosen to suit the room. We agree finishes and positions before we start, not after.
We do not name private clients, publish photographs of their homes, or discuss what is installed. That applies during the work and afterwards.
The same small team throughout, working around the household rather than through it, and comfortable in occupied properties.
Tell us about the property and what your insurer has asked for. Everything discussed stays between us.
