The needs of Rotherham residents are very different depending on where you are located and your personal circumstances. We have split this advice in two so you can concentrate on the one that applies to yourself and your family. Urban security has been built up over hundreds of years of communal living from homes to castles with the introduction of high walls, keeps and locks.
Rural security knowledge is expanding and ever changing as criminals target rural locations because they are remote and they believe they are less likely to be detected.
These days all homes are equipped with lockable doors and windows which is known as physical security. CCTV, lighting & alarms are known as deterrents as they do not physically stop anyone from entering a building but do deter those that do not want to be detected. Residents in Brinsworth or Rawmarsh will use more rrban security measures than those in Firbeck or Letwell.
When you live in concentrated populations there is a comfort in knowing you are close to your friendly neighbours, friends and family with not much fear of a mob raid. Security tends to be light with door locks and shut windows.
This has been taken advantage of by the modern burglar who has perfected entry methods that are quick and quiet so evading our lookout neighbours.
We have created several Security Advice pages which may be of interest to you regarding keeping safe in your rural home or away on holiday. We are always avialable for your questions if you have any security related concerns.
Living in a rural location is idyllic but it does have a few issues when it comes to security. Dense woods and tall hedges can be used as hiding places to watch homes for activity. If possible conceal the overlooking of your home from locations where people may hide.
Make the advance towards your property noticeable with loose chip drives, lighting & perimeter alarms. We have a host of measures we can introduce that are kept quiet about to stop them being evaded. If we believe it will help your situation we will provide a solution.
