Intercom & Access Control in Brighton

Brighton has more multi-occupancy gated properties than anywhere else in our coverage area. Victorian and Edwardian villas converted into flats, purpose-built blocks with underground parking, and the Marina development all rely on intercom and access control systems to manage who enters and when. When these systems fail, residents cannot let visitors in, deliveries go undelivered, and security breaks down.

We install, repair, and upgrade intercom systems integrated with electric gate automation. Whether it is a simple audio intercom on a single-household gate or a multi-tenant video system on a block of converted flats, your engineer specifies equipment that works reliably in Brighton's salt-laden coastal air.

Intercom installation: from £1,250+VAT | Repair: £225+VAT callout

Intercom and Access Control Services in Brighton

New Intercom Installation

We install audio and video intercom systems integrated with your electric gate. For single-household properties in Withdean, Tongdean, and Preston Park, a straightforward video intercom with gate release is typically all that is needed. For multi-tenant properties — common throughout central Brighton, Kemp Town, and Hove — We install systems with multiple call buttons, individual handsets or monitors per flat, and coded entry as a backup.

Intercom Repair

Existing intercom systems fail for several reasons in Brighton: salt corrosion on outdoor panels, water ingress into wiring junctions, worn call buttons, and failing monitors. On older systems, components become obsolete and cannot be repaired — we advise honestly whether a repair or replacement is the better option.

Keypad and Coded Entry

Keypads provide access without a remote or intercom call — useful for regular visitors, cleaners, and tradespeople. We install weatherproof keypads rated for coastal conditions and integrates them with the gate automation system. Codes can be changed easily by the property owner.

Multi-Tenant Systems

Converted villas in Brighton often have 4-8 flats sharing a single gated entrance. We install multi-button call panels with individual handsets per flat, so each resident can see and speak to visitors before releasing the gate. These systems also log access events — useful for managing security on shared properties.

Upgrades and Replacement

Many Brighton properties have intercom systems installed in the 1990s or early 2000s that are now failing. Components are often discontinued. We survey the existing installation, recommends modern equivalents with better coastal durability, and carries out the replacement with minimum disruption to residents.

Why Brighton Intercoms Need Coastal-Grade Equipment

Outdoor intercom panels face the same salt-air corrosion that attacks gate motors. Call buttons corrode, speaker grilles rust, camera lenses cloud over, and wiring connections oxidise. Standard indoor-grade equipment does not last on Brighton's seafront. We specify panels and wiring rated for outdoor coastal use, with stainless steel faceplates and sealed cable glands.

Multi-occupancy properties face additional challenges. Shared systems get heavy daily use — every resident and their visitors — which wears buttons and connections faster. Regular maintenance is important but often neglected when responsibility is shared between multiple residents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you install an intercom on my existing gate?

Yes, provided the gate automation system supports intercom integration — most CAME, Nice, and BFT systems do. Your engineer assesses compatibility during the survey and specifies the right intercom to work with your motor and control board.

How much does an intercom system cost?

A single-household video intercom with gate release starts at £1,250+VAT including installation. Multi-tenant systems are quoted per specification depending on the number of flats, cable routing, and panel type. We provide a written quote after surveying the property.

Can you repair my existing intercom?

In most cases, yes. If components are still available, We repair the fault on site. If the system is obsolete and parts are no longer manufactured, your engineer recommends a modern replacement and provides a quote.

Do you install wireless intercoms?

GSM and Wi-Fi intercoms are available and work well where running new cabling is impractical. Your engineer checks mobile signal strength during the survey — some Brighton locations have weaker coverage. Wired systems are more reliable long-term, especially in coastal conditions.

Who is responsible for the intercom on a shared property?

That depends on the lease or management arrangements. We work with whoever books the job — the freeholder, managing agent, or an individual leaseholder. We provide a clear invoice regardless of the ownership structure.
