House Alarm Systems

Most people come to this looking for one thing: to know that if someone tries the back door while the house is empty, something happens. That is what a house alarm system does, and the rest is detail.

A modern system is wireless, which is why fitting one is a day’s work rather than a building job. Detectors go where an intruder has to pass rather than where they are easiest to fit, the control panel sits somewhere discreet, and the siren goes on the front of the house where it is seen from the road. Being seen is half the job — most people who try a door are looking for the house with nothing on it.

When it goes off, the siren sounds and every phone linked to the system is alerted at the same moment, wherever you are. You can see what triggered it and which part of the house, and you can set and unset the system from your phone. Most people use that far more than they expected — checking from the car park at work that the house really was armed. Monitoring by an alarm receiving centre can be added if you want a third party watching too. It is optional and it costs extra, and we will tell you honestly whether your property needs it.

We fit Pyronix and Ajax. Which one goes in depends on the property rather than the budget: Ajax where the ground is spread out and the signal has to reach outbuildings, or where you want detectors that photograph whatever set them off; Pyronix for most other homes. Both are graded to what insurers expect.

What it costs depends on the size and layout of the property, so we will not pretend there is one number. Tell us what you have and we will give you a realistic estimate the same day, by phone or WhatsApp. The fixed written price comes after a free survey, once we have seen it.

Every system is specified by Kris Hill, a former police officer with more than thirty years in law enforcement and covert security, so a survey starts from how break-ins actually happen at a property like yours rather than from a product list.
