3 Effective Ways To Secure Your Home

In 2021/2022 there were 192,060 home burglaries reported across England and Wales, with the numbers continuing to grow every single year. If you think burglars have to get crafty and creative to break into properties these days, it might surprise you but more than half gain entry simply by using a door.

There are many ways to improve your home security and reduce the chance of being burglarized. No matter what option you choose, security is important to keep yourself, your family and your home safe.

Set up a security system

Installing an alarm and camera is a fantastic way to ensure you know what’s happening exactly at your home. For a cheaper alternative secure fake boxes and cameras to create a visual deterrent. If the alarm is installed and maintained to an approved standard, you may qualify for a discount on your home insurance.

Light up the front drive and garden

Introducers like to operate under cover especially when it’s dark outside. One effective way to deter intruders is by illuminating the garden and front of your house. One of the most effective options is motion-activated security lights which can be easily installed and are a fairly cheap option to create a visual deterrent.

Security Grilles and Bars
