Lombardy alarms: covering long perimeters on large, freestanding properties
Lombardy is about 7 km east of Sandton City. A typical Lombardy property is a freestanding house set on a large stand. This layout puts significant distance between the boundary wall and the house itself. The perimeters are often long, and on older properties, the walls can present weak points. The suburb's established gardens with large trees can also create blind spots that make detection difficult.
Our approach in Lombardy is to secure the property from the outside in. We install outdoor beams along the long boundary walls to provide the first alert. Placement is important; we position beams to work around mature trees and dense foliage to prevent false alarms. This layered system means the alarm is triggered while a threat is still in the garden, well away from the house.
Because many Lombardy homes are decades old, we often work on inherited alarm systems. On every visit, we test the entire system, including the backup battery and the panel itself. If the core system is sound, we can add modern detectors and beams. If parts are obsolete or unreliable, Tyson will explain why and provide a written quote for an upgrade.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our alarm systems page.
Questions from Lombardy
Our property in Lombardy is large with a very long wall. Does the whole perimeter need beams?
Not always. We assess the specific risks along your boundary. Often, we can strategically cover key areas like corners, gates, and vulnerable sections rather than placing beams along the entire length.
We live in a sectional title property in Lombardy. Can you install an alarm just for our unit?
Yes. We frequently install and maintain standalone alarm systems for individual units within complexes. We also work directly with body corporates who wish to upgrade security for the entire scheme.
Every Lombardy property is different, so we look before we quote. Send us a photo or call, and we will arrange a visit and a written quote for your burglar alarm work.
