Estate Security Services

Estate Security Services - Securing stately homes since 2009

Many of our clients own large estates, some featuring historic vinyards, working stud or cattle farms and many with public right of way across their land.

Estate security requires a full understanding of the working of the estate and a true understanding of rural crime, listed buildings and knowledge of the likes of public right of way, and often, how to work with local police or planning officials to best mitigate security concerns.

Providing security measures on such estates can be a challenge and some clients have been sold the concept of relying on technical security alone as an answer to their security woes. However, what is needed is a risk-led, layered approach of both technical and physical security mitigating risks to as low as reasonably possible.

Intelligence and risk-led security

From the outset, we need to understand the threats to your estate such as opportunist theft or organised crime and of course the assets that need protecting and what baseline security measures are already in place, i.e, a Security Risk Assessment. With this information, we can assess priorities using probability and impact of an event taking place, and build security solutions around these risks, producing a layered approach.

This approach combines advanced technical security measures to deter, detect, and gather evidence with a robust physical on-site security presence. The expansive and often remote nature of country estates necessitates a responsive physical security element; world-class CCTV systems are of limited value if the security or police response time is delayed by tens of minutes, as the incident will likely have occurred before assistance arrives. Effective security relies on early detection and swift response, which are critical components for protecting any site, particularly larger properties such as country estates.

Our Estate security services

After an initial risk analysis, we produce security solutions to our clients that protect the key assets on the estate, also taking into account the duty of care that the client has to any staff and visitors to the estate.

Our aim is to provide our clients with workable, cost-effective security solutions that add value to the daily working of the estate. Great security should always add value and not be a hindrance, and this is achieved with not only technical and physical security solutions, but also with security awareness training (including new security policies and procedures), first aid for all estate staff, plus incident management training for key staff if and where applicable.

Our management have a great knowledge of rural affairs, of Parish and District Council planning and putting security-related applications before these bodies. We are very aware that listed building status or being in an ‘area of outstanding natural beauty’ (AONB) can have a massive effect on planning applications, especially those that affect security such as fencing or CCTV.

Our country estate security services can include:

• Security Risk Assessments
• CCTV & Control Room
• Static Security Guards
• Mobile Patrols
• Security Patrol Dogs
• Panic Buttons
• Ground Sensors & Intruder Detection Systems
• Specialist Fencing
• Access Control

Our holistic approach to Estate Security ensures that every staff member on the estate is fully trained and aware of how to report any security concerns promptly and effectively. We also make security a standing agenda item at all estate meetings, guaranteeing that it remains a top priority and is continuously assessed and improved as needed.
