security for listed buildings
Overview

Security that respects your building’s historical significance

Listed buildings come with strict regulations that protect their integrity and heritage. Modern technology might seem at odds with listed buildings, however ADB Alarms offer a range of systems to meet the demands of historic properties.

Our alarm, surveillance and security products can be fitted to seamlessly blend with architecture, ensuring that your property remains protected without compromising its aesthetic or historical value.

Whether you need to safeguard priceless artefacts, control access points, or ensure fire and safety compliance, ADB Alarms has the expertise and knowledge to help.

Tailored to your needs

Enhancing the security of your period property

Discreetly placed security cameras

Security cameras are getting smaller, so can be perfectly fitted to not affect the aesthetic of your period property or listed building.

CCTV surveillance provides real-time monitoring to enhance safety and offer valuable evidence if incidents occur. Remote access allows users to keep an eye on your property even when away.

Access control systems

Ensures only authorised staff, students, and visitors can enter the premises. Features like keycards, fobs, and biometric entry help maintain a secure learning environment while allowing controlled access to different areas of the school.

Alarm systems

Alarm systems don’t have to compromise the period aesthetic of your building. We can also spray paint bell boxes in dark colours and position them discreetly on the outside of the property.

A strategic approach to securing heritage buildings

Period buildings can be full of character, charm and idiosyncrasies that modern properties just don’t have.

By working with specialist security experts, heritage property managers can achieve a harmonious balance between safety and preservation.

Over-specifying security can be just as problematic as under-protection, and may conflict with heritage preservation regulations.

ADB Alarms employ a layered security strategy, combining physical security with electronic monitoring. This way, historic building managers can effectively mitigate risks while maintaining compliance with heritage conservation standards.


Client reviews

Brilliant company with great service from the initial phone call to fitting and installing the alarm. With the alarm being slightly outdated in our property, they quickly resolved this within 24 hours to ensure it was up and installed in full working order. Everyone we spoke to from the ladies in the office to the gentleman who fitted the alarms were brilliant

As an existing customer of ADB Alarms, I recently encountered an issue with my system, and I must say, their service exceeded my expectations. The team responded incredibly fast and resolved the problem with expertise and professionalism. They were not only efficient but also very helpful in explaining what went wrong and how they fixed it. It’s comforting to know I’m in such capable hands. ADB Alarms continues to impress me with their outstanding customer support!

I am the third member of my family to use ADB after they came highly recommended by a family friend. I have recommended ADB myself multiple times. I will continue to do so, as I cant fault their service or professionalism. Real customer centred service and great after care service.

Frequently asked questions

01Can modern security systems be installed in a listed building without affecting its historic features?

Yes, many modern security solutions, including CCTV, intruder alarms, and access control, can be installed with minimal impact. Wireless systems and discreet installations help maintain the building’s historic integrity while enhancing security.

02Will installing security systems affect the building’s aesthetics?

Not necessarily. Security solutions can be designed to blend seamlessly with traditional architecture. Using concealed wiring, discreet camera placement, and period-appropriate finishes, security can be enhanced without compromising the building’s appearance.

03Are listed buildings more vulnerable to security risks?

Yes, due to their age and structural limitations, listed buildings can be more susceptible to break-ins, vandalism, and theft. Valuable materials such as lead and copper roofing also make them targets. Installing appropriate security measures can mitigate these risks.
