Advanced Security Systems in London
Established in 1987, UBX Scaffold & Site Security Systems has pioneered the design, manufacture, and installation of advanced outdoor intruder prevention systems. With over 30 years' experience, we developed the world's first Scaffold Intruder Alarm System, now patented globally. Our technology creates an invisible electronic energy shield, protecting iconic buildings like Blenheim Palace, Tower of London, and properties of high-profile individuals including Baroness Thatcher and Sir Paul McCartney. We hold international patents for electronic scaffold security and have completed over 5,200 bank projects and 375 major BT projects. Our systems combine microwave energy fields with CCTV verification, meeting NSI NCP115 and SSAIB SS2006 standards. Committed to innovation, we continuously refine our technology while maintaining a 30-year faultless security record.Our team of CSCS-certified engineers provides nationwide coverage across the UK, including Scotland, Wales, and the Channel Islands. We operate 24/7 monitoring through NSI Gold-approved Alarm Receiving Centres, ensuring immediate response to security breaches. Our solutions prevent false alarms through unique detection patterns covering both scaffold interiors and exteriors, unaffected by weather or wildlife. With a proven track record securing heritage sites, government buildings, and VIP residences, we combine technical expertise with rigorous methodology to deliver unparalleled protection during building restoration and refurbishment.

Scaffold Intruder Alarms
Our patented Scaffold Intruder Alarms create an invisible microwave energy shield up to 200 meters long. This technology detects intruders climbing scaffolding while ignoring environmental factors like weather, birds, or vibration. Systems activate deterrent measures including voice warnings, sirens, and automated police notifications while recording evidential footage.
Perimeter Protection
We provide comprehensive perimeter protection using our Unique Band X microwave technology. Systems cover entire building perimeters without disruption during scaffold installation phases. Detection patterns cover front, sides, and rear surfaces while remaining unaffected by plastic sheeting or netting commonly used in construction.
VIP Property Security
Specialist security solutions protect VIP residences using discreet, wire-free technology. Systems pioneered for Baroness Thatcher and Sir Paul McCartney now safeguard properties of high-net-worth individuals with 24/7 monitoring and instant police connectivity while maintaining architectural aesthetics.
Historic Building Security
Our systems secure historic sites like Blenheim Palace and St Paul's Cathedral without damaging architectural integrity. Wireless installation methods ensure complete protection during restoration projects while maintaining zero false alarms through patented microwave technology tested to endure centuries of environmental changes.
Bank Security Systems
Approved by HSBC, RBS, and BT, our systems protect banking institutions with enhanced security specifications. With over 5,200 completed bank projects, our technology prevents unauthorised access to scaffolding-clad branches while integrating with existing security infrastructure for full evidential tracking.

Questions
What makes UBX systems different from other scaffold alarms?
UBX systems use patented microwave technology with triple detection (microwave, passive IR, active IR) covering both scaffold interiors and exteriors. This prevents false alarms while ensuring 100% detection of climbing intruders.
Does UBX operate nationwide?
Yes, we provide nationwide coverage across the UK, including Scotland, Wales, and the Channel Islands through our regional installation engineers.
How does the system respond to intruders?
Upon detection, systems can trigger voice warnings, sirens, floodlights, and transmit real-time CCTV footage to monitoring centres, police, and site managers' smartphones.
Are UBX systems approved by security standards organisations?
Yes, our systems comply with NSI NCP115 and SSAIB SS2006 standards, with additional approvals from BT, HSBC and RBS to meet their security specifications.
Can UBX systems integrate with existing security infrastructure?
Our wire-free systems automatically integrate with CCTV networks, police response systems, and NSI Gold-approved Alarm Receiving Centres while maintaining standalone functionality.
What happens after an intrusion event?
Systems automatically reset after events, retain full evidence records for police and insurance, and provide live diagnostics through our 24/7 monitoring service.
