Security Systems in Clapham

Security Services in Clapham

Clapham lies mostly in the London Borough of Lambeth, with part of Clapham Common and its western side in Wandsworth. This page also covers Stockwell and the Oval side of Kennington in SW9, and Balham in SW12, which is in Wandsworth. The area runs from Georgian and Regency houses around Clapham Common to Victorian terraces, mansion flats and post-war estates, with busy high streets at Clapham High Street, Stockwell and Balham.

Our engineers travel to Clapham, Stockwell, Oval and Balham from our base in Brentwood, for burglar alarms, CCTV, fire alarms and access control in homes, blocks of flats and businesses.

Property in Clapham: What It Means for a Security System

Around Clapham Common and the Old Town are large Queen Anne, Georgian and Regency houses, such as 113 North Side, built in 1763, and Holy Trinity Church on the common dates from 1776. Stockwell developed in the 19th century as an elegant middle-class suburb, and the villas of Stockwell Park were mostly built between 1825 and 1840, while the terraced streets of Kennington, around the Oval, developed from the late 18th century onwards. Later in the 19th century came the grid of Victorian streets around Abbeville Road and the terraces of Albert Square and Larkhall. Balham grew after the railway arrived in 1856, with the early Edwardian Dinsmore Road estate; to the south, towards Tooting Bec Common and in SW17, are the Heaver Estate of about 1890 to 1910 and Du Cane Court, a 1930s block of 676 flats. Clapham has social housing on estates from the 1930s and 1960s, and Stockwell's post-war estates include Stockwell Park, Lansdowne Green and Spurgeon. A Georgian house on the common and a flat on a 1960s estate need very different systems, so we survey before quoting.

Typical Requirements in Clapham

Where a large period house has been divided into flats, each flat needs its own entry points covered and the shared front door needs door entry; where it remains one home, wireless intruder alarms avoid disturbing decorated interiors, and side and rear access need covering as well as the front. The mansion blocks of Clapham Common North Side, such as Grove Mansions of 1896, and of Balham, such as Du Cane Court, need door entry and access control for their shared entrances. Much of the area is in conservation areas, from Clapham and Stockwell Park in Lambeth to Clapham Common, Heaver Estate and Nightingale Lane in Wandsworth, so external equipment should be sited discreetly. On the high streets, shops and restaurants need CCTV and intruder alarms, and fire detection sized against the fire risk assessment.
