It is estimated that the theft of art and other valuable items from heritage buildings costs in excess of £100 million each year.

A professional Chubb Security Audit is provided to identify and quantify the potential risk of crime facing the premises and their contents.

Chubb utlitises advanced technology and years of experience to tailor security solutions to satisfy the complex needs of heritage sites, while minimising disruption in the process.

Heritage sites, and historic buildings such as museums and cathedrals are unique in that they contain a great number of very valuable items, many of which are irreplaceable but also need to be accessible to the public. Managers have a public duty therefore to see they are protected.

University Library, Manchester

Integrated Security Management

When a University Library in Manchester was about to be refurbiushed they took the opportunity to upgrade their security system. This included a strip-out and refit of their CCTV, intruder and access control systems as an integrated security system.

"The library is a Grade 1 listed building and it was essential that the system was installed with minimum disruption and intervention to the building fabric. Chubb's experience at dealing with installations of this nature enabled them to achieve this, and the continuity of service throughout the lengthy installation process was guaranteed."

"Overall, the system has bedded down well, and gives us greater confidence and peace of mind. We value the long-term relationship we have with Chubb."

Integrated Security Management

As the UK’s acknowledged expert in the field of electronic security solutions – Chubb were approached by an internationally acclaimed museum in Cambridge to upgrade their existing security systems to create a single integrated security system for control in the Museum's new control room. This included installing new intruder and access control devices and introducing advanced mini-dome CCTV cameras that are better suited to changing light levels.

“That is where the particular skill of Chubb is most valuable, and in their experience working in other historic buildings where they have a clear understanding of aesthetics and the need to maintain the integrity of the design.”

“I am very satisfied with the work that Chubb does for the Museum. They always give us best advice, the highest quality service, and keep us regularly informed and updated on the new technologies that are available. It is a very successful relationship.”
