AT YOUR PROPERTY
The alarm is back online. Is the electrical work finished?
If a gate controller, alarm supply or camera recorder has failed at your home, explain what was repaired and what still needs checking. Surge protection in Lonehill should be planned around the equipment and its electrical supply, including any separate boards.
Lonehill has community security and alarm-monitoring services through the LRA. If your own equipment is monitored, tell that provider about any agreed interruption and ask who maintains the hardware. Wesslink can assess the electrical installation while the equipment contractor deals with its own devices.
THE WORK TO DISCUSS
Keep three separate questions in the booking
Being able to open the gate again does not answer every protection or backup question.
02
Does backup last as expected?
Describe what happens when mains power is unavailable. A runtime concern needs its own assessment; adding a surge protective device does not provide stored power.
Electrical fault finding ↗03
Who receives the alarm?
If a monitoring service is involved, arrange notifications through the account holder. Tell Wesslink who can approve electrical work and who will confirm the equipment is back in service.

BEFORE THE VISIT
Prepare a short equipment list
Include only equipment present at your property; community services do not tell us what is installed at your home.
- Name the gate, alarm or camera equipment that is affected.
- Keep repair invoices and the original failure dates together.
- Provide the hardware contractor and monitoring contact where relevant.
PLANNING THE WORK
Coordinate the visit with the people maintaining the system
The electrical assessment and the security service can be arranged around the same agreed work.
- 01
Describe the symptom
Say whether the problem is damage, intermittent operation or backup duration.
- 02
Check the installation
Wesslink assesses the relevant boards, supply and existing protection.
- 03
Agree any interruption
The account holder coordinates monitoring and access before work starts.
- 04
Confirm the handover
Keep the electrical work record and the equipment contractor's findings together.

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
Surge protection, lightning and the right SPD
A surge protective device limits transient overvoltage and diverts surge energy. It helps reduce risk; it does not make equipment immune to every event or voltage disturbance.
Surge protection
SPDs are selected and coordinated for the supply, earthing, exposure, boards and equipment. Different Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 roles may be relevant.
Lightning protection
A structural lightning-protection system has a different role. Direct strikes, induced lightning, utility switching and internally generated transients must not be treated as one diagnosis.
Supply problems
A surge should not be diagnosed remotely. Transformers and network switching can create transient conditions, but protection cannot be promised against every voltage disturbance.
Explore SPD types, coordination and technical references
There is no universal number of surge protectors for every property. Map the incoming supply, earthing and exposure; trace main and downstream boards, cable distances and critical loads; include relevant power, data and control lines; then coordinate the selected device roles.
Manufacturer guidance should be applied to the specific installation.
CHECK BEFORE YOU NEED TO CLAIM
Does your insurance cover power-surge damage?
Your insurer’s requirements matter. Check your current policy schedule, surge-cover benefits, limits, excesses, exclusions and any protection requirements with your insurer or broker.
Installing an SPD does not automatically secure a payout. Equally, the absence of a particular device does not establish automatic rejection under every policy. Claim treatment also depends on the actual cause.
Keep incident photographs, equipment details, installation records, assessments and repair evidence. Record previous damage as evidence rather than assuming a cause.
LOCAL ELECTRICAL SUPPORT

Send your exact address, property type and equipment concerns to request a quotation. Confirm access and current availability when booking.
Can Wesslink help if only the gate stopped working?
Describe the gate problem and any findings from its repairer. Wesslink can discuss checking the electrical supply and suitable surge protection. Tell us whether the gate belongs to your home or is shared by a complex.
What information helps after surge damages in Lonehill?
Send the affected equipment list, when the failures were noticed and any repair reports. Mention which items had battery backup or plug-in protection. Do not open panels or attempt to reproduce the fault.
Will an SPD keep my alarm running during a power cut?
An SPD addresses voltage surges; it does not supply backup power. If the concern is how long the alarm runs without mains power, include that as a separate question for the equipment maintainer.
What does an SPD do?
A surge protective device limits transient overvoltage and diverts surge energy. It reduces risk but does not make equipment immune to every event or voltage disturbance.
Is surge protection the same as lightning protection?
No. Coordinated SPDs and a structural lightning-protection system have different roles. Direct strikes, induced lightning, utility switching and internally generated transients are not interchangeable.
Does my monitoring subscription include this work?
Check your agreement with the monitoring provider. Ask who maintains the equipment and who pays for electrical work. Wesslink's quotation can identify the installation work requested by the authorised customer.
Does an SPD guarantee an insurance claim will be paid?
No. Policy treatment depends on the insurer, plan, schedule, limits, excesses, optional benefits, exclusions and actual cause. Check current policy wording and preserve incident, installation and repair evidence.
