Home Security in Portskewett
Monmouthshire, Wales
Partial crime data
Gwent has published only 4 of 12 months of crime data (May 2025 to Aug 2025), so the figures below understate the true annual totals for Portskewett.
Portskewett recorded 1 burglaries in the last 12 months. This is a high-footfall area with a small residential population, making a professionally installed alarm a smart investment.
About these figures
Portskewett has a small residential population (2,485 residents). Crime data is recorded against where crimes occur, but rates are expressed per 1,000 residents. In commercial and mixed-use areas with high daytime footfall the per-1,000 figures will appear much higher than in residential areas. Absolute crime counts are the more useful comparison here.

What installers covering Portskewett can help with
Certified installers in our network covering Portskewett can usually help with:
Wireless and smart alarms
Most systems fitted in Portskewett today are wireless. Battery-powered sensors need no drilling or rewiring, so installation is quick and tidy and the system is easy to extend later. A smart alarm adds a phone app, so you can arm, disarm, and check your home from anywhere and get an instant alert the moment a sensor is triggered.
Wireless suits most homes and is ideal if you rent or want minimal disruption. Wired systems are still chosen where a permanent, hard-to-tamper installation is preferred. Your installer can advise which fits your property.
Monitored alarms and response
A bell-only alarm sounds a siren to deter an intruder and alert neighbours. A monitored alarm goes further: it signals an alarm receiving centre around the clock, which can call you, alert nominated keyholders, or request a police response.
Police response is only available on a system fitted by an approved company and registered for a unique reference number, so monitoring usually goes hand in hand with a certified installation. Monitoring carries a small monthly fee and is most worthwhile for homes left empty during the day or not overlooked by neighbours.
NSI and SSAIB certified installers
NSI and SSAIB are the two main UK accreditation bodies for security installers. An approved installer works to recognised British and European standards, which is what most home insurers, and the police response scheme, require.
