Sarum Systems installs Paxton access control and door entry across Maldon, Heybridge and Heybridge Basin, for offices and shops on the High Street, schools, flats above shops, marine and trade businesses and units on the Heybridge estates. We fit Paxton Net2, Paxton10 or Paxton Entry depending on the size of the site, take over systems other companies installed, and hold a three hour response commitment on maintained systems. The survey is free, and you deal with the engineer, not a call centre.

Wired & wireless intruder alarms, monitored and app-connected, fitted to BS EN 50131.
Keypad, fob and door-entry systems that control exactly who goes where.
Fire detection and alarm systems designed, installed and serviced to BS 5839.
Maldon's High Street climbs from the Blackwater up through the conservation area, and much of it is shops with offices or flats above, reached by a narrow side door or a shared rear yard. That separate upstairs entrance is where most problems start, with keys copied over the years and no record of who holds them. Down towards Hythe Quay and across at Heybridge Basin, clubs, boat businesses and waterside stores have members and contractors coming and going at odd hours. The Heybridge estates, Blackwater Trading Estate on The Causeway and Benbridge off Holloway Road, have subdivided units sharing one gate. Wycke Hill Business Park near Morrisons has units with their own yards and reception doors. Some of the town's schools run on split sites, which means visitor routes need planning at more than one front door. External fittings have to respect local rules, and we always work to the guidance published by Maldon District Council.
For flats above shops on the High Street, the usual answer is a video door entry panel on the street door with a Paxton fob reader, so residents answer from their phone and the shop below never needs a key to the upstairs. For clubs, marine businesses and boat stores, time-profiled fobs let members in during set hours and contractors in for a set week, and a lost fob is cancelled in seconds instead of changing every lock. External readers near the water need weather-rated housings and stainless fixings. On the trading estates, the landlord keeps the yard gate and each tenant controls its own doors. Every escape door we control releases on the fire alarm and opens from inside without a credential, and we prove that at handover rather than assuming it.
