Make security your business priority in 2018

Security systems for businesses – designed and installed by Dalec

Security is essential for all businesses but if your premises are open to visitors or customers, it can be very hard to ensure your business is secure when your doors are always open.

Although it is, of course, impossible to keep a shop or open business premises 100% secure, there are a number of highly effective steps you can take to improve and enhance security.

Security systems tailor made to meet the requirements of your business

  • Panic buttons are a simple but cost-effective solution and having them fitted in various locations around your business premises will provide you and your staff with peace of mind and the ability to contact the police quickly and discreetly.
  • A CCTV system is one of the most effective security steps, especially when installed alongside a security alarm system. Although a wide range of dummy or decoy CCTV cameras are available, for commercial business owners there really is no substitute for the real thing. A functioning CCTV system will record a crime as the events unfold, helping the police to identify the culprit whilst also providing clear, valuable evidence for your insurance company. Here at Dalec we are specialists in installing a wide range of CCTV systems, from cost-effective systems, through to state of the art cameras, designed to record crisp, clear images, even when it’s dark.
  • Door entry systems are the ideal solution for any business which doesn’t receive many visitors and which operates on an appointment only basis. Installing a door entry system will allow you to screen visitors as their access can only be granted by a member of staff. Combined intercom and camera systems are very popular as they allow members of staff to see and communicate with visitors before allowing them entry.
  • Unfortunately darkness often proves to be the burglar’s friend and for people working in retail or commercial premises, opening up or locking up at night can often be a worrying experience. Installing emergency security lighting on the outside of your premises will mean that the exterior of your property is illuminated by bright light when movement is detected, alerting you to the potential threat whilst deterring a burglar from entering.

Business and commercial security systems – contact Dalec to find out more

If you would like advice on any aspect of protecting your business, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Dalec to arrange for a free, no-obligation quote.

Enhance your garden with outdoor lighting

Get ready for the summer by installing garden and outdoor lighting

Although it’s hard to imagine at the moment, spring and summer really are on the way – honestly! In just a few months we should be able to get outside and enjoy sitting in the garden and installing lighting offers a great way to help you get maximum use from your outdoor spaces. A huge range of stunning garden and outdoor lighting is now available, from lighting designed to be recessed into decking, paths or patios, through to solar powered lights to highlight particular plants or border areas.

Safe electrical installation is vital

There’s no doubt that illuminating your garden or patio is a lovely way to enjoy those long summer evenings, however if your garden is to be safe, lighting must be installed correctly. Electricity and water should never, ever be mixed and badly installed lighting should come into contact with water, whether rainwater or water from a hose, the results can be devastating.

Contact Dalec and call in the experts

If you’re thinking about installing garden lighting – mains operated lights in particular – our advice is to call in the experts rather than trying to install it yourself. Here at Dalec we are a team of skilled and qualified electricians, with many years of expertise in all aspects of electrical installations. Our services are available to residential and business customers throughout Leeds and if you’d like to find out more, or to obtain a free, no-obligation quote, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Security solutions for businesses in Leeds

Security solutions for businesses in Leeds

Security is of paramount importance for all businesses but if your premises are open to clients or customers, ensuring security when your doors are always open can prove to be something of a challenge.

Obviously it’s almost impossible to keep a shop or open business premises completely secure all of the time, however there are several very effective steps you can take to dramatically improve security.

Security solutions designed to provide protection for commercial premises

Here at Dalec we work with a wide range of businesses in Leeds, providing effective security solutions. Here are some examples of security systems which can be designed to suit your individual requirements:

  • Panic buttons can provide a relatively simple yet highly effective way to protect your staff and offer them peace of mind. Panic buttons are designed to be installed in various locations – under a shop counter or reception desk are good examples – and once pressed will contact the police quickly and discreetly.
  • CCTV offers one of the most effective solutions as not only will the cameras record a crime as it is happening, the sight of the cameras is often enough of a deterrent to put off all but the most determined of criminals. Although dummy CCTV systems are available, there really is no substitute for the real thing as the latest cameras will provide the police with clear images, whilst also providing valuable evidence which can be used in the event of an insurance claim.
  • Security lighting is the ideal way to deter intruders and illuminate dark spaces where they might otherwise hide. Designed to offer reassurance when opening or locking up during the hours of darkness, security solution can help to alert you to a potential threat, whilst offering additional peace of mind that your property is protected.
  • Door entry systems provide an effective solution, ideal for businesses which don’t receive many visitors. Installing a door entry system will allow you to screen visitors before giving them access – combined intercom and camera systems are increasingly popular as they allow members of staff to see and communicate with visitors before letting them in.

Moving into a new house? Don’t forget to ensure the electrics are up to scratch

Spring is on the way and at this time of year, many homeowners decide to put their homes on the market and move house. Despite the fact that around 2 million homes are bought and sold in the UK each year, according to research carried out by the charity Electrical Safety First, just 37% of homeowners arrange to have the electrics checked before deciding whether to go ahead with the purchase. The survey also highlighted that one in five house buyers said they thought that electrical safety checks were included in home survey reports, whilst just under half said that they were unaware that any checks were needed at all.

Over 30% of home buyers discovered that they hadn’t been aware of electrical safety issues before proceeding with a purchase and it’s precisely situations such as this which could have been easily avoided had a registered electrician carried out an Electrical Installation Condition survey.

Save yourself time and money with an electrical safety survey

Although the cost of fixing an electrical problem varies hugely according to the nature of the fault, the average cost of a repair is £1,700. However, some electrical problems can prove much more expensive than this to sort out. It’s also important to remember that in addition to the financial cost of electrical repairs, the risk of serious injury or worse simply isn’t worth taking.

If you’re moving house and are in the process of looking for somewhere new to live, don’t forget to look out for signs of electrical problems such as old fashioned light switches and sockets, or sockets mounted on skirting boards rather than walls.

When you get to the stage of having an offer accepted on a property it is important to have a survey carried out to identify any underlying problems which aren’t immediately visible but could cost thousands to repair. If the survey does highlight any problems, this may well give you the scope to negotiate on price. However, it’s important to remember that a survey alone won’t cover the condition of the electrics so to be absolutely sure, it’s best to arrange for a certified electrician to carry out an Installation Condition Report.

Don’t give thieves a chance – deter burglars with a security alarm installed by Dalec

Security alarms installed in Leeds

We sometimes get calls from customers who’ve just been burgled and want to have a security alarm installed. This can be very frustrating as we know that in many cases, a burglar alarm provides enough of a deterrent to put an intruder off entering a property.

Burglar alarms have long been recognised as one of the most effective security measures it’s possible to take and by installing an alarm now, rather than waiting until the worst happens, you’ll be taking a positive step towards protecting your home and family. Thanks to developments in technology, modern wireless alarms are quick and easy to install, with very little requirement for disruptive, messy drilling, with options suitable for all budgets.

At Dalec we are qualified alarm installers in Leeds and our team has the expertise to install alarms homes of all types and sizes. We’ll work with you to fit a system which gives you the protection you need at a price that’s right for you, ensuring all potential access points to your home are covered. In addition, a number of alarm systems are now available which are designed to be linked to mobile phone or tablet apps, offering you the capability to monitor the security of your home, regardless of where you are.

Upgrade the security of your home with a CCTV system

For the ultimate in home security a combined alarm and CCTV system is pretty hard to beat. CCTV can be used to monitor the interior and exterior of your home, providing you with clear images which can be used in the event of a break in. However the sight of a CCTV camera alone is enough to put off the majority of intruders, helping to make CCTV a highly effective security tool for residential properties.
