Local CCTV Repair Specialists in Gravesend
Homes and businesses across Gravesend and the wider Kent area rely on CCTV that was often installed years ago, sometimes by a previous owner or a system that came with the building. Kit ages, connectors corrode, firmware falls out of date and what was a reliable setup slowly becomes one you cannot fully trust.
We repair and service CCTV across Gravesham Borough Council and the surrounding area, working with whatever is already on the wall wherever that is realistically possible, rather than assuming a full replacement is the only option.
CCTV faults on Victorian and Edwardian terraces
- 01
Post-war estates including Riverview Park (former RAF airfield), King's Farm (1920s) and Christianfields (rebuilt 2007-2013) Older terraces in Gravesend often have CCTV cabling routed through party walls, under floorboards or along original brick reveals, sometimes added by more than one previous occupant over the years. Cable runs like this are more prone to being nicked, chafed or simply forgotten about and tracing a fault back through them takes patience.
- 02
Cameras on solid brick or render fixings from decades of repointing can also work loose or have their sealant fail, letting damp into the housing – a common cause of a camera that has slowly gone misty or stopped focusing properly.
How we handle a reported fault
Phone or photo triage
A quick call or a couple of photos of the symptom – the recorder screen, the camera, the app error – often narrows down what we are dealing with before we even arrive.
On-site diagnostic
We confirm the fault on site, checking the wider system rather than just the reported symptom, since one fault can mask another.
Parts sourced if needed
Where a camera, recorder or power supply needs replacing, we source a suitable part matched to the existing system where possible.
Repair or replacement carried out
The faulty component is fitted and connected, with cabling and connections checked as we go.
System test and footage check
We play back recorded footage and confirm the recording schedule and storage are behaving correctly, not just that the picture is live.
