Estate crime prevention has become a major problem requiring increasingly sophisticated measures which now form an integral part of most refurbishment projects.

 
At the core of this problem is the ability to limit access to any block of flats to tenants and those with legitimate reason to require entry. This generally requires the creation of a single entry point with a high security door set coupled with electronic access controls and in some cases, CCTV cameras for routine surveillance.

 
Because of the enormous variety of structures and environments, this has become a highly specialised field requiring an expert design and build approach in order to create individually effective solutions.

 
Recent years have seen a dramatic rise in the use of both mild and stainless steel constructions because of the strength, durability and largely maintenance free nature of these materials compared to more traditional hardwood structures.
