During the winter, you may be more concerned than usual about your home security. With many people away and the nights drawing longer and darker, winter is a common time for thieves to take advantage.
For burglars, the obvious route into your property will always be the windows and doors, so it’s vital to ensure that you have all possible measures in place to secure your home.
In this blog, we look at steps you can take to safeguard your East London home and alleviate any unnecessary stress during the winter.
How can you improve your home security?
There are a number of ways in which you can improve your home security. Below are some methods we suggest you consider:
- Smart doorbell – this will enable you to keep an eye on who is at your door even when you’re not at home.
- Timed lights – burglars always prefer to work under cover of darkness, so having timed lights will act as a strong deterrent.
- Secured side gates – ensure that any alternative entrances to your property are properly secured.
- Ultra-secure doors and locks – do your doors or locks need updating? This is the most important thing to check.
- Locked windows – if they were already installed when you moved in, check what type of windows you have. If they are older or single glazed, it’s likely they will need replacing to maximise both security and efficiency.
