Smart doorbells, discreet cameras and sound door and window security — practical measures that protect a home without turning it into a fortress.
Good home security is mostly about the basics done well: solid locks, well-lit approaches, a doorbell camera so you can see who is at the door, and a discreet camera or two covering vulnerable points. Our security service fits exactly these measures, neatly and unobtrusively, so your home is better protected without looking like it.
We install smart video doorbells and Wi-Fi cameras, fit and upgrade door and window security, add security lighting, and set everything up so it works reliably with your phone. We focus on practical, proportionate measures rather than over-selling complex systems.
The front door is where most security begins, and a video doorbell is the single most popular upgrade we fit. It lets you see and speak to whoever is at the door from anywhere, records visitors, and is a genuine deterrent. We fit the doorbell neatly, set it up with your phone, and make sure it sees what it should — a surprising number of self-installed doorbells point at a wall or the floor.
Alongside the doorbell we can upgrade the door's physical security: a higher-specification lock, additional bolts, and a properly fitted strike plate that resists forcing. Good locks and a camera together cover both deterrence and protection.
A couple of well-placed cameras covering the approach, a side return or a vulnerable window do far more than a dozen scattered randomly. We position cameras to cover the points that actually matter, cable and mount them discreetly so they do not spoil a period frontage, and connect them to your phone so you can check in whenever you wish.
Lighting is the quiet half of security. A PIR floodlight over a side passage or a dusk-to-dawn lamp by the door removes the dark corners that make a property attractive to an opportunist, and makes coming home in winter far more pleasant too.
Belgravia homes deserve security that is effective and discreet, not a tangle of visible wires and intrusive boxes. We take care over the appearance of what we fit, cabling neatly and choosing equipment that does the job without dominating. We are also realistic: we recommend the measures that genuinely improve your security and skip the ones that simply add cost.
Crucially, we do not just install and leave. We connect everything to your phone, walk you through how it works, and make sure you are comfortable using it before we go. Technology that you cannot operate is not security at all.
Arranging security & cctv with Handyman Belgravia is refreshingly straightforward. Tell us what you need by phone or through our short enquiry form, and we will talk it through, give you a clear and honest price, and agree a time that suits you. There is no obligation and no charge for a quote, and the figure we quote is the figure you pay unless you ask us to take on more once we are there.
On the day, we arrive when we say we will, protect floors and furnishings before we start, and work cleanly and considerately throughout — mindful that we are guests in your home and, often, in a building shared with neighbours. When the work is done we tidy up properly, talk you through what we have carried out, and make sure you are entirely happy before we leave. It is the standard of service we would want ourselves, and the reason so much of our work in Belgravia comes from repeat clients and personal recommendations.
