Keeping your home secure
Our colleagues and contractors will always carry ID, which you should ask to see before letting us in.
You can reduce the risk of a break-in with these steps.
- Close and lock all windows and doors whenever you leave the property, even if you're planning on coming back soon.
- Never leave a key hidden outside your home or on a string behind the letterbox.
- When you're at home, don’t leave keys in doors or near to doors.
- Don't put a label on your house keys that gives your address.
- Lock all external gates, sheds, and garages.
- Always check the identity of callers to your home before letting them in.
- Never leave valuables on display and hide smaller items.
- Don't leave ladders or tools outside of your home as these can help intruders gain access.
- Install timers on lights or radios to make it seem that the property is occupied when you're out.
- If you have a burglar alarm fitted, use it.
