Historic streets, student lets and driveways
In Canterbury we fitted steel barred cantilever gates across a driveway, with a matching pedestrian gate, CAME automation and BEA safety lasers. Cantilever gates have no track across the drive, which suits wide openings and uneven ground.
Much of the city centre is listed or in a conservation area, so cameras, door entry panels and gates need careful siting, and sometimes consent. The city’s universities and large rented sector also mean plenty of student lets and blocks of flats, where door entry and fob access make life easier for landlords and residents. Businesses are spread across Wincheap Industrial Estate, Canterbury Business Park, John Wilson Business Park in Whitstable and Altira Park in Herne Bay, and on the coast there are shops, restaurants and holiday lets.

Can you fit CCTV or door entry to a listed building in Canterbury?
Yes. We plan positions and cable routes to minimise any impact on historic fabric, and use wireless equipment where it helps. Listed building consent may be needed for some work, so we can work with your conservation officer.
Can you manage door entry for student lets?
Yes. Cloud-managed door entry lets you add and remove tenants and fobs from an app or browser at the start of each tenancy, without a site visit. Door entry for flats.
Do you cover Whitstable and Herne Bay?
Yes, both are around 40 minutes from our base, along with the villages around Canterbury.
Are you NSI approved for security work in Canterbury?
Yes. Nova Security Systems is NSI Systems Silver approved for intruder alarms, CCTV and access control, wherever we work. It means our intruder alarms can qualify for police response from Kent Police, through a Unique Reference Number (URN).
Can you take over a system another company installed?
Yes. We take over and maintain most intruder alarms, CCTV and access control systems, and repair and service automatic gates and barriers installed by others. We start with a survey and tell you honestly what’s worth keeping.
