Here are some top tips on protecting your home over the Holiday period

Prevention is the key! It's common sense, but also a fact that the majority of burglaries occur due to lack of security.

The best way to prevent a burglary is to 'deter' the would be Burglar. The No. 1 deterrent is a Burglar Alarm with an outside Siren.

Having an active Alarm System sends the burglar a signal that you take burglary seriously... But don't stop there - check doors and windows lock properly and keys are not kept anywhere that is visible from outside the house.

Our Top Tips for Holiday Security:

• If you have an alarm use it - if you don't, get one!
• Protect the rear of your property with a Dummy or Real Siren (With flashing lights).
• Ensure window and door locks are fitted, working and used.
• Make sure the house is well lit during hours of darkness.
• Invest in Home Automation - automatic activation of lights in your house give it the 'Lived In Look' even when no one is at home. 
• Put a hold on paper deliveries when you're away.
• Make sure that your valuable items are not visible from outside the house - long dark evenings make it much easier for burglars to size up the goods in your house and plan a robbery, rather than acting on impulse.
• Consider leaving a key with a relative, trusted friend or neighbour - they can check on your home and collect any post while you are away.
