When is the right time to install security measures?
The short answer is now.
If your building is in use and doesn’t have security
If you’ve just bought or leased the building and are about to move in/secure tenants
If your building is vacant and doesn’t have them or if you do have basic measures already installed – now is the time to think about security
Your Checklist for deciding what SPS security is needed – we have it all.
Note: Every building requires security on some level. Your insurance policy is your starting place.
For Vacants:
Location: High, medium or low risk
Void duration: hours, days , weeks, months
Current condition: dilapidated, run down, pristine
This is just the start of the questions you need to ask to decide on the next step
Solutions
Adhoc Approved SIA Guards
SPS CCTV – temporary / permanent – to SPOT them before any damage can take place
SPS Steel – to STOP them getting into the property
Bollards – to STOP them getting onto the land
Signage – you know you need it, but often forget about it
When to take action
Vacant? Take action immediately
Temporarily unoccupied? Use SPS short term solutions: temp CCTV, varied inspections, visits, digital keysafes
Long term Vacant? SPS Steel doors and windows – installed without damaging the existing structure, and are tamper-proof
Monitor
Look at activity on site
Look at attempted breaches
Review your reports and preserve the integrity of your perimeters and boundaries
React to leaks, fly tipping , damage – if you don’t the situation worsens. SPS reactive services will attend to leaks, rubbish removal and reinstatement of walls
For occupied properties, domestic or commercial
Consider:
Communal door security and entrance systems
Guarding, access control, keys safes.
Consider alarms and CCTV and your responder arrangements
Signage
When?
Before the building is occupied.
Why?
Properties that lie empty, even temporarily, are vulnerable to break-ins.
Manage your risk, speak to the experts, ask for a survey, then TAKE ACTION…otherwise you may find your property broken into to, damaged or vandalised.
