Security Services in Epping
A market town at the northern end of Epping Forest in West Essex, at the eastern end of the Central line and home to the offices of Epping Forest District Council. Its High Street is lined with listed buildings, most from the 18th century, and hosts a weekly market, with period houses at the core of the town and later housing around it.
Our engineers work across Epping CM16 and the villages around it, including Coopersale, Theydon Bois and North Weald. Wireless systems suit the town's older and listed buildings.
Property in Epping: What It Means for a Security System
Epping stayed compact for a long time: on the 1873 Ordnance Survey map the town barely extended beyond its present conservation area. The High Street and Lindsey Street core has cottages and townhouses built between the 16th and 20th centuries, and by the end of the 19th century the High Street was lined with 26 coaching inns. The railway reached Epping in 1865, and by the early 20th century new houses had been built on Station Road and on roads laid out in the late 19th century, such as St John's Road, Hartland Road and Kendal Avenue. In the 1960s and 1970s housing estates were built around the town, including Theydon Grove from 1964, and blocks of flats followed on Hemnall Street and Station Road. The Local Plan allocates land south of the town for at least 450 new homes. A listed High Street building and a 1960s estate house need quite different approaches, which is why we survey before quoting.
What We Are Usually Asked to Do in Epping
Epping's older properties set the tone. Listed buildings and period cottages in the town centre and around Bell Common need wireless systems that avoid disturbing historic fabric, with external sounders and cameras sited carefully in the conservation areas. The late Victorian and Edwardian houses built around the edges of the old town, and the post-war estates, are more straightforward, though detached and semi-detached houses still need side and rear access covered. Shops on the High Street need intruder alarms and CCTV positioned for identification at the doors, and blocks of flats need door entry and communal fire detection.

Areas We Cover in and around Epping
What we are typically asked for varies street by street. These are the parts of Epping we work in most often, and the requirements that come up in each.
Epping Town Centre
The High Street and Lindsey Street core, a conservation area of listed buildings from the 16th to the 20th centuries, most of them 18th century, with the Monday market. Wireless alarms and discreet external equipment suit the listed buildings.
Station Road and St John's Road
Late Victorian and Edwardian streets around the edges of the old town, built up by the early 20th century after the railway arrived in 1865. Period houses with side and rear access to cover.
Bell Common
A conservation area on the edge of the forest, with two groups of 19th-century cottages on the High Road built for workers on the Copped Hall estate.
Coopersale
A village of about a thousand people, separated from Epping by forest land but part of the parish, with the Coopersale Street conservation area to the south-east.
Theydon Bois
A separate village and parish in CM16 with its own Central line station, which grew after the railway arrived in 1865.
North Weald
A separate parish in CM16, home to North Weald Airfield, established in 1916 and home to 56 Squadron's Hurricanes in the Battle of Britain period.
Commercial Security in Epping
Epping's commerce is concentrated on the High Street, a conservation area lined with listed buildings, where a weekly market has been held since a charter of 1253 and now runs every Monday with around 55 stalls. Some of the old coaching inns survive as pubs, such as The Thatched House, The George and Dragon and The Black Lion, and the Civic Offices of Epping Forest District Council are on the High Street. North Weald Airfield, a general aviation airfield owned by the district council, hosts a large Saturday market. Shops, pubs and offices need intruder alarms, CCTV and fire detection sized against the fire risk assessment. J&L Security is BAFE accredited for the installation and maintenance of fire alarms.

Security Questions for Epping

Yes. Epping High Street is a conservation area lined with listed buildings, most of them from the 18th century.
