Warning
Recently burglaries have occurred in both business premises and residential properties, where upper floor windows and skylights have been left open or unlocked. Burglars use various means to reach these windows, such as flat roofed extensions, ladders left out at properties, or they may climb up drainpipes or even cables that are near an open window to gain entry to a property.
To ensure the security of your building, make certain all windows are closed and locked. Most insurance companies will not pay out on a claim if all windows and doors in a property are not closed and locked
