Safety and Security

You're in Safe Hands

Your wellbeing is important to us - and feeling safe in your new home makes all the difference. Exeter is a safe city - and our property is no exception. But that's no reason not to take safety seriously, so there are many behind-the-scenes checks and systems running all the time. Here's just a snapshot of some of the ways we help keep things secure and stress-free.

24/7 CCTV

Our corridors, shared spaces, and outside areas are covered by round-the-clock security cameras. These are remotely monitored and footage is stored securely on-site, offering you peace of mind - and a suitable deterrent for passers-by.

Smart, Secure Entry

You'll have your own private access code to enter the building and your room. Doors lock automatically, and your code can be changed instantly if needed. The system also keeps an entry log for each door.

Modern Fire Safety

Our fire alarm is professionally maintained, always monitored, and connected to an emergency response centre. We carry out routine checks and independent risk assessments, because prevention and peace of mind go hand in hand.

Electrical Checks

All electrical systems and appliances are regularly inspected and tested for safety, whether they're in your room or the communal areas. Our certification is always current and up to professional standards.

Gas Safety

We don't have gas cooking appliances, but our heating and hot water run on a regularly serviced boiler. An annual Gas Safety Certificate is issued by a qualified engineer, ensuring everything's running smoothly and safely.

Clean, Safe Water

We routinely check water temperatures throughout the building to keep things within safe ranges — reducing risk of scalding and minimising the chance of bacteria like Legionella. Water is drinkable from any cold tap.

Daily Site Checks

A daily site walk-through is carried out by a member of our team, who checks for any maintenance, safety, or security issues and takes any required action.

Always Someone on Call

Need help? A designated Duty Manager is available 24/7 for emergencies or urgent issues. You'll receive contact details in your arrival info, just in case you ever need them.

Don't just take our word for it...

Staying at Melbury Rooms & Studios in Exeter provided a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The accommodation is exceptionally clean, modern, and well-organised, making settling in effortless. My room was very comfortable and equipped with everything needed, including high-quality appliances and thoughtful touches throughout.
