Your local security company
Much of our work is within a few miles of the office. In Folkestone we’ve automated gates on private drives and a 16-metre cantilever at Shorncliffe, put barriers on a communal car park in Cheriton, fitted a members’ turnstile for a gym on the High Street, and protected self storage sites with remotely monitored CCTV and cloud access control. Motis Cheriton Truck Park, just off the M20, runs on systems we installed: access control, CCTV, fire, panic alarms and the network.
Being local matters after installation too. A fault, a lost fob or a camera knocked out of position is usually a short drive away, and contracted customers have a 24/7 support line: call 01303 720282 and choose option 1.

How quickly can you get to a security fault in Folkestone?
Most of Folkestone is a few minutes from Shearway Business Park. Contracted customers have a 24/7 support line: call 01303 720282 and choose option 1.
Do you install electric gates on Folkestone driveways?
Yes. We supply new gates and automate existing ones for homes across Folkestone and the villages around it. Electric gates.
Do I need planning permission for electric gates?
Usually not, if the gates are no more than 1 metre high next to a road used by vehicles and no more than 2 metres elsewhere, and automating existing gates doesn’t normally need it. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, check with Folkestone & Hythe District Council first.
Are you NSI approved for security work in Folkestone?
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.
