Littlefillan alarms: securing original homes and modern cluster developments
Littlefillan's properties are a mix of older freestanding homes on their original stands and newer cluster complexes built on subdivided land. This means a single street can have a house behind its own garden wall next to a complex like Kent Downs with a shared perimeter. For the older homes, the security challenge starts at the garden boundary. In the complexes, the focus shifts to the individual unit's doors and windows, which are often out of sight of the main entrance on roads like Ballyclare Drive.
Our approach adapts to each property type. For a freestanding home, we typically start with outdoor beams to cover the garden, adding detectors to the house itself as a second layer. Inside a complex, we focus on the unit's immediate surroundings. This means securing the patio and ground floor, as the body corporate is responsible for the main perimeter wall. We make sure the unit's alarm provides the specific protection needed behind the shared gate.
For trustees and managing agents in Littlefillan, we provide a single point of contact for the entire complex. We can assess and service the main perimeter's alarm system, including the gate and guardhouse, while also offering standardised options for individual homeowners within the scheme. This ensures that both the shared and private security layers work together, which is important for properties that share what was once a single farm.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our alarm systems page.
Questions from Littlefillan
Our complex has a perimeter wall. Do I still need an alarm for my own unit?
Yes. The complex wall is the first line of defence, but an alarm for your own unit is the second. It protects your doors, windows and patio, which are often the most vulnerable points inside the main perimeter.
The alarm in the house we just bought is old. Does it need to be completely replaced?
Not always. If the main control panel is still reliable, we can often upgrade an older system by adding new outdoor beams, modern detectors, and a new communicator that signals your response company.
