Access control systems installed in Leeds by Dalec

Access control systems are simply an electronic method of controlling or restricting who has access to a building or particular areas of a building. Whether you have business-critical information you need to protect, or are concerned about the risk of theft, installing an access control system offers a wide range of benefits including:

  • Control who’s coming and going: the chances are that your business premises is home to some pretty valuable equipment. From specialist machinery through to cash or IT equipment, your business is at constant risk of external or internal theft. An access control system will help you keep track of who is coming and going, whilst logging the entry and exit of each individual member of staff.
  • Lost keys become a thing of the past: there’s nothing more frustrating or expensive than having to cut new keys when a member of staff leaves or loses their set. Many access control systems are designed to use entry card or electronic key fob systems so when a card or key fob is lost, it can simply be removed from the system.
  • Keep intruders out: if your business is large or you have areas which are open to the public – a shop for example – installing an access control system offers a highly effective way to control who has access to different areas, preventing unwanted strangers from gaining entry whilst undetected.
  • Limit staff access: many businesses only give approved access to certain areas for specially trained staff. Medical clinics, laboratories and research facilities, for example, often have restricted areas and controlling access in this way is a practical way to protect sensitive data, chemicals and more.

Our services are suitable for both domestic and commercial landlords, providing a wide range of cost-effective, reliable options to help you ensure your certifications are up to date and that you meet your obligations.

  • Periodic inspections – we can provide periodic and initial test inspections whilst also offering the advice you need to help you safeguard your tenants. Current legislation now recommends that periodic inspections are carried out by a qualified electrician at least every five years or each time a tenancy changes. Please get in touch for further advice and guidance on this.
  • Visual condition reports – visual condition reports can be used as an alternative to a full test or inspection. However, this must also be carried out by a fully qualified electrician and is only appropriate if the electrical installations have been inspected and fully tested within the previous two years and that any faulty electrics have been repaired or replaced.
  • Fire alarms – fire alarms systems must also be regularly tested and the frequency of testing required will depend on the type of alarm. Fire alarm testing is vital and should be never overlooked.

CCTV systems installed in homes and businesses in Leeds

CCTV is now widely recognised as one of the most effective security solutions available. Whereas it was once the preserve of shopping centres and multi-storey car parks, CCTV is now widely used in domestic properties and all types of business premises.

The sight of a CCTV camera alone is often enough to deter all but the most determined thieves and here at Dalec we can work with you to design and install a system to meet your requirements. CCTV offers a great way to protect your home or business against theft, vandalism or attack and we can provide a system which offers the level of protection you need.

A wide range of systems are available and thanks to improvements in technology and the widespread availability of wireless broadband, it is now possible to have visual access to a property without the need for an ‘installed’ service. We have the expertise to design, supply and install a wide range of systems; from state-of-the-art HD CCTV designed to protect large areas, through to basic systems ideal for most domestic properties.

Image quality has also seen a massive improvement and unlike the grainy images recorded by older systems, today’s cameras offer the capability to provide crystal clear pictures. Not only is this a great way to help improve security, the images recorded can also be used to provide evidence to the police in the event of a break in.

For the highest level of security, an integrated CCTV and intruder alarm system is pretty hard to beat. The integrated systems we install will enable you to receive instant notifications, snap shots of images and even live video – all received via your mobile phone or mobile device.

What’s the best way to choose an electrical contractor?

It’s vital that all electrical repair, maintenance and installation work is carried out by a reputable, qualified contractor. However, whether you are looking for a contractor with the expertise to handle a major commercial installation project or want to upgrade the electrics in your home, with so many firms vying for your attention, choosing the best contractor for the job can prove daunting.

Here are our top-tips for what you should take into consideration when choosing an electrical contractor in Leeds:

  • Ensure the company you choose has the relevant qualifications and certifications. Here at Dalec, for example, we are registered members of the ECA (the Electrical Contractors Association), CHAS (The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) and SSAIB (The Security systems and Alarms Inspection Board). Looking for qualifications and membership of organisations such as these is a great way to provide yourself with peace of mind that the services on offer are of the highest standards.
  • An electrical contractor with the manpower and expertise to get to you on time. If you run your own business, you’ll be all to aware of the potential cost implications and disruption which can arise from an electrical fault. With this mind it is important to find an electrical contact who can get to you quickly and with the minimum of fuss. At Dalec we have a team of fully qualified electrical engineers, available to respond to emergency call outs, repairs and more.
  • Check referrals. Referrals and case studies are a great way to get an idea of a contractor’s previous experience. If an electrical contractor refuses or is unable to give you examples of their previous work, stay clear. Here at Dalec we have decades of experience of working on a wide range of projects, for clients including Leeds City College, Craven College, South Trafford College, Quaker Oats and the Professional Footballers Association to name but a few.
