Access Control in Basildon

Access Control in Basildon

Sarum Systems installs Paxton access control and video door entry across Basildon, covering offices, industrial units, schools, residential blocks and managed lets. We fit Net2, Paxton10 and Paxton Entry depending on the size of the site, and we take over and extend systems another company put in. Our engineers cover south Essex from Harlow, the survey is free, and maintained systems come with our three hour response commitment if a door, reader or entry panel stops working.

Local knowledge

What we see on the ground in Basildon.

Basildon's commercial property sits in a few distinct areas, and each brings its own access problem. The industrial areas at Burnt Mills, Cranes Farm Road and Southfields in Laindon hold everything from small subdivided units to large single occupier buildings, often with a shared gate and staff working shifts. The town centre around the Eastgate Centre and Town Square has shops and offices with upper floors reached from a side or rear door, alongside residential towers such as Brooke House. At Festival Leisure Park, restaurants and leisure venues have back of house doors, deliveries and late finishes to manage. Newer residential schemes such as Chapelgate add communal entrances that need a dependable door entry system rather than a door wedged open for couriers. Schools across the town need one controlled visitor route during the day and a different set of open doors for evening lettings. External fittings have to respect local rules, and we always work to the guidance published by Basildon Council.

For a small office or unit, two or three doors on Paxton Net2 or Paxton10 usually does the job, with a fob issued to each person and cancelled the day they leave. On shared industrial sites we set the system up so each tenant controls their own doors and the landlord keeps the gate, with a log of every entry. For blocks of flats and flats above shops, Paxton Entry video panels let residents see who is at the door and release it from a handset in the flat. Letting agents managing several Basildon properties can add and remove access without collecting keys back. Every escape door we control releases on the fire alarm and opens from the inside without a fob, and we prove that at handover.

FAQs

Access Control in Basildon: questions we hear.

For one door up to a handful, Paxton10 or Net2 both work well. Paxton10 is simple to manage from a browser or phone, while Net2 suits sites that already run it. We look at your doors and staff numbers at the survey and recommend one.
Yes. The gate can sit on the landlord's system while each tenant controls their own unit doors, or one system can be partitioned so nobody sees anyone else's users. It suits the multi-let estates around Burnt Mills and Southfields.
Usually, yes. We survey the existing wiring, which can often be reused, and fit a Paxton Entry panel with a video handset in each flat. Residents see and speak to visitors before letting them into the communal hall.
They have to. Escape doors are wired to release when the fire alarm activates and always open from the inside without a credential. We link the access system to your fire panel and prove the release works before we sign the job off.
Yes. Paxton runs on timetables, so during lesson time only the visitor route works, and in the evening a set group of doors opens for the hall or sports block while classrooms stay locked. Every entry is logged.
