Estate and Building Security |
||
Estate and building securityA good standard of building security is very important in rural areas, especially for outbuildings that may not be visited for weeks at a time. Farmhouses and other rural properties are the same as any other home, so general home security advice still applies. However, because of the remote location, additional security measures may be beneficial. To protect your rural home or business: keep the boundaries of your land and property well-maintained and secure keep all doors and windows shut and locked when not in use install a visible burglar alarm make sure windows and door frames are secure and in good repair fit strong locks to sheds, garages and outbuildings fit good quality window locks consider security bars and grilles for vulnerable windows and openings make sure gates cannot be lifted off or have their fixing bolts removed check security equipment regularly to ensure it works properly use locking posts or temporary obstructions to control wide access points to yards
install automatic security lights that come on at dusk and turn off at dawn install CCTV cameras to watch over the most vulnerable areas of the property install a monitored intruder alarm system install an entry control system infrared, intercom or keypad establish a single gated entrance and exit, removing all private access points that are not in use For information and general advice on protecting your property visit our burglary advice pages. | ||
