Surelock’s Security Surveys

Security always seems to come second with little budget, until something goes wrong, do not wait for an incident to happen, prevent it with a security survey. Burglary, theft and vandalism on business premises or in the home can be reduced by effective security.

Surelock has many years experienced in the field of security surveys / risk assessments, examining your existing security, identifying failures and recommending future installations.  

Apart from the obvious benefit of minimising losses, this will also provide increased peace of mind to staff or residents and from the business perspective is likely to lead to happier work environment, increased efficiency, improved image with customers and sometimes lower insurance premiums.

We carry out a full survey of your home or business premises. The site perimeter, integrity of buildings and vulnerability of individual rooms are examined in detail together with existing physical/electronic measures and procedures already in place to reduce crime.

The easy-to-read illustrated report summarises the findings of the survey, quantitatively assesses the overall vulnerability of the premises, highlights areas at risk and offers appropriate and cost-effective suggestions as to how these may be addressed in the form of a prioritised Action List.

Our surveyors are fully accredited by the appropriate bodies under Home Office guidelines and have the necessary security clearance with over 30 years of experience.

Whether it be domestic / home or business / office if you have a need for a security survey do not hesitate to contact us, we will discuss all the options, so you know the costs and exactly what is involved.

You will be in safe hands, so if you require this professional service, please contact us to discuss  https://www.surelock.org/contact-us

Surveillance

Surelock’s Surveillance Services

Surveillance is a major part of our business and integral to many investigations, to prove or disprove the fears of our clients’.

As a business or as a private client we can assist you with your surveillance needs.

We always tell potential clients “You cannot make surveillance happen, it has to be intelligence led” – a particular day, time and location or a specific matter.

Much surveillance nowadays is domestic / cheating partner surveillance, sadly this usually only takes a day’s work to prove the clients’ worst suspicions.

Accident injury surveillance will prove or disprove a claimant’s injuries or sickness.

Corporate surveillance is carried out for the benefit of the client’s business, is an employee working for someone else, are the really sick or perhaps working at a competitor’s business.

We have experienced surveillance teams located all over UK able to deploy fairly quickly for the needs of our clients, these teams work extremely hard to gather intelligence and evidence this for the benefit of the instructing clients.

All our surveillance is legal covertly video recorded in a public place, we keep the client informed of the findings and supply a detailed log of events with selected photos, a full unedited recording is also available if required.

Our experienced operatives can give evidence in Court or other legal proceedings, we have in fact been commended by the Courts for the precise and detailed records we keep.

If you have a surveillance need do not hesitate to contact us, we will discuss all the options, so you know the costs and exactly what is involved.

If the money remains unpaid, she will serve 5 months in prison in addition to the 150 hours of community service and an enforced 10 days of rehab she was also sentenced to at Cardiff Crown Court.

Bands including The Stone Roses, Foo Fighters, The Stranglers, The Clash and Led Zeppelin had their intellectual property used without permission as she sold product through eBay and her own website.

TRAP’s partner Surelock worked with Newport Trading Standards to complete test purchases and provide a comprehensive evidence pack to secure the conviction.

Relationship Strain due to Cheating min

Surelock’s Cheating Partner Surveillance 

A great deal of our surveillance work starts with a call from a nervous member of the public who explains they suspect their partner of infidelity.

The first thing we do is to have a chat with them and establish why they have these fears, sometimes they ask us to carry out a week’s surveillance, and we explain “You cannot make surveillance happen, it has to be intelligence lead” we are not the type of company that just wants the instruction and take money, we always want to give the best possible service and a week’s surveillance would be very costly.

After having a chat many have the courage to go ahead. It is sad to say that over 90% of the domestic surveillance cases we have dealt with, the client’s worst fears are usually correct, and this is usually established on the very first day.

The information we need is a full description of the person, photograph if possible and details of any vehicle they use, plus of course the address and in particular the day or event when the client is more suspicious about.

We would conduct a short period of surveillance utilising at least a three-man team, video record and gather all the intelligence, supplying the client with a detailed log of events with selected photos, which can be used in any legal proceeding.If you have these fears do not hesitate to contact us, we will discuss all the options, so you know the costs and exactly what is involved.

You will be in safe hands, so if you have a need for this professional service, please contact us https://www.surelock.org/contact-us
