Security Services in Redbridge
The London Borough of Redbridge, formed in 1965 from Ilford and from Wanstead and Woodford, covers a large area of north-east London including Ilford, Wanstead, Woodford, Gants Hill and Barkingside. Over a third of the borough is Green Belt, and its housing is largely late Victorian, Edwardian and interwar suburb, with a diverse mix of residential and commercial property.
Our engineers work across the London Borough of Redbridge, from Ilford and Gants Hill to Wanstead, South Woodford, Woodford Green and Barkingside.
Property in Redbridge: What It Means for a Security System
Redbridge was formed in 1965 from the boroughs of Ilford and of Wanstead and Woodford, and its housing reflects both. Between 1880 and 1939 much of the borough was built up in a long phase of late Victorian, Edwardian and interwar suburbs, which is why most residential streets are relatively low density. Wanstead and South Woodford are older: middle-class housing began at South Woodford after Woodford Hall was sold in 1869, and much of Wanstead was built in the second half of the 19th century before planned estates such as the Counties Estate were added. Aldersbrook, south of Wanstead Park, is an Edwardian suburb whose Lake House Estate was built between 1907 and 1911. After the war the London County Council built the large Hainault estate. More recently, flats have been built at higher density, and they now outnumber houses in Ilford and around South Woodford and Snaresbrook. Over a third of the borough is Green Belt.
What We Are Usually Asked to Do in Redbridge
Across Redbridge the property decides the system more than the postcode. Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Ilford, Seven Kings and Goodmayes need the rear door and ground-floor windows covered as well as the front. The larger period houses of Wanstead and Woodford Green need the side approach covered where there is side access, and in the borough's 16 conservation areas external equipment should be sited discreetly. Interwar suburbs and bungalows in Gants Hill, Clayhall and Redbridge are straightforward to wire. Flats in Ilford and South Woodford need door entry and communal fire detection, and business units at Hainault Business Park need yard CCTV and commercial fire alarms to BS 5839-1.

Areas We Cover in and around Redbridge
What we are typically asked for varies street by street. These are the parts of Redbridge we work in most often, and the requirements that come up in each.
Ilford
The borough's Metropolitan town centre, surrounded by late Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Shopfront CCTV in the centre and rear-door protection in the terraces.
Wanstead
A village centre with a conservation area designated in 1970, one of the borough's first, and 19th and early 20th-century housing, including the Counties Estate. Discreet external equipment suits the setting.
Aldersbrook
An Edwardian suburb south of Wanstead Park, whose Lake House Estate was built between 1907 and 1911, now a conservation area.
South Woodford
Suburban housing that began after Woodford Hall was sold in 1869, with George Lane as its centre and a high share of flats. Door entry and communal fire detection for the blocks.
Woodford Green
Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and interwar houses around the green, protected as conservation areas since 1970, with the Churchill statue of 1959. Part of Woodford Green is in Waltham Forest.
Barkingside
A district centre next to the Barnardo's Village Homes conservation area, with Fairlop Waters Country Park on Forest Road.
Commercial Security in Redbridge
Ilford is the borough's Metropolitan town centre, and Barkingside, Gants Hill, South Woodford and Wanstead are district centres, with local centres such as Ilford Lane and Woodford Broadway. Redbridge has relatively few industrial areas, but Hainault Business Park and the Southend Road Business Area are designated as strategic employment land, and Hainault Business Park alone has more than 150 companies, according to its business improvement district. Shops and offices in the town centres need CCTV, intruder alarms and fire detection sized against the fire risk assessment, and industrial units need yard coverage and BS 5839-1 fire alarm systems. J&L Security is BAFE accredited for the installation and maintenance of fire alarms.

Can you fit alarms to period houses in the Wanstead and Woodford conservation areas?
Yes. Redbridge has 16 conservation areas, including Wanstead Village, Woodford Green and Woodford Wells, and Aldersbrook and Lake House Estate. Wireless intruder alarms avoid disturbing period interiors, and we site sounders and cameras as discreetly as the house allows.

Yes. Hainault Business Park is one of the borough's two strategic employment areas. Typical work is external CCTV for yards and loading areas, intruder detection graded to the contents, and BS 5839-1 fire alarm systems with a 6-monthly servicing contract.
