Securing Corlett Gardens homes with older walls and complex boundaries
Corlett Gardens is about 4 km south-east of Sandton City. A home in Corlett Gardens often shares boundaries with different types of properties. One side might be an older freestanding house with its original wall, while the other could be a modern sectional title complex built on a subdivided plot. This patchwork of wall heights and fence types creates inconsistent security along a single property line, with potential weak points where different perimeters meet.
Our approach is to assess each of your boundaries individually. For a freestanding house with older, lower walls, we typically recommend outdoor beams to create an early warning layer inside your garden. For a townhouse or apartment, where the main perimeter is shared, we focus on securing the unit itself with sensors on accessible windows and patio doors. This ensures your alarm is suited to its immediate surroundings.
Because property types are so mixed here, we often find ourselves working with both individual homeowners and the trustees of an adjacent complex. An alarm plan for a private house can be designed to cover a vulnerable section of shared wall. We provide clear, written quotes that help homeowners and bodies corporate understand their separate and shared security responsibilities.

Questions from Corlett Gardens
My house is next to a complex with a high wall, but my other walls are low. Where should the alarm focus?
We assess all your boundaries. We would focus detection, like outdoor beams, on your lower or more vulnerable walls to create a consistent security layer. We also check the high wall for any potential climbing spots.
Our complex has perimeter security. Does my ground-floor unit still need its own alarm system?
Yes. A unit alarm provides a second, internal layer of security. It protects your own doors and windows, which the main complex perimeter cannot see, and gives you your own panic buttons.
