Commercial or business burglar alarms are an increasing necessity for Bristol based companies looking to protect premises, stock, machinery and staff. Despite a reported drop in the overall number of burglaries and robberies in the Avon and Somerset Constabulary area (which includes Bristol, Bath, Somerset and S. Gloucestershire), Bristol is still ranked as having a high burglary rate (there were over 638 burglaries in March 2010). Business owners are well advised to protect their premises.

When criminals or opportunistic burglars break into business premises, they often do not just take equipment but also cause criminal damage which can result in significant downtime for any company, costing as much or more than the theft of any stock and machinery. A professionally installed, business grade burglar alarm brings peace of mind to owner. It not only acts as a visual deterrent to potential intruders but also contributes towards reducing insurance premiums, potentially saving the business some costs.
 
Bristol burglar alarms also provide peace of mind for employees, they are less likely to be a target of the determined burglar thanks to the known deterrent effects of burglar alarms. Just having an alarm box and alarm company stickers visibly placed on the building exterior can be enough to deter criminals.

Commercial premises are more prone to crime as burglars know that there are often no staff present after working hours, premises are often sited where there are few residents 24 hours and house items of significant value. Any burglar worth the name is more likely to target dark, unfrequented, poorly secured offices, business premises and commercial storage areas that have no sign of being protected.  One Bristol burglar told police:

"Alarms do put you off, you just go somewhere else.  I never used to break in somewhere with a light on, or anywhere with an alarm.  For every house with an alarm there are another nine without.”

So what will a Bristol burglar alarm company do for your business?

1. 1. Most professional Bristol burglar alarm installers insist on visiting your premises in order to make an initial assessment of your needs. Our survey is free of charge
2. 2. A free no obligation quotation, taking into account your timescales and budget, including maintenance and monitoring charges where applicable
3. 3. Detailed contracts are agreed for larger clients, especially where external funding partners require detailed documentation
4. 4. They will send a technician team to fit your Bristol burglar alarm and any other security systems that are needed
5. 5. Your alarm is explained clearly to both the business owner and any other staff who will need to have access to it so that it does not generate too many false alarms. (Commercial properties tend to have higher false alarm rates than residential properties because more people share responsibility for activating and deactivating the alarm systems, and the systems are often more complex. The rate of false alarms for commercial burglar alarm users may be as much as three times higher than the rate of false alarms among residential alarm users).
6. 6. Your alarm is monitored, if required, by a remote monitoring team who notify police and the key holder should there be a break in
7. 7. Your alarm is maintained professionally (we offer three levels of alarm maintenance service) with an annual visit from an engineer who will check to make sure it is in full working order
