Intruder Alarm Systems

Burglar alarm systems designed around the building's real weak points, with detection that avoids false activations.

Overview

An alarm that cries wolf gets switched off. The difference between a system that is used and one that is ignored comes down to device choice and positioning — pets, heating, draughts and sunlight all cause false activations when detectors are specified carelessly.

We design alarm systems around how the building behaves, not just how it is laid out, and set them up so arming and disarming fits the way the premises actually operate.

Not sure what you need?

Describe the property and what has gone wrong before. A short conversation usually settles whether a site visit is the right next step.

Why it matters

What you get from doing this properly.

01

Detection that fits the building

Detector type and placement account for pets, heat sources, air movement and glazing so activations mean something.

02

Part-setting that works

Zones are arranged so parts of the premises can be protected while others stay in use — overnight, at weekends or during works.

03

Notified, not just noisy

App notifications and, where required, monitored signalling mean activations reach you rather than only the street.

04

Serviceable

Accessible device positions and documented zone naming make annual servicing quick and inexpensive.

How we work

Five steps, in the same order every time.

A deliberately unremarkable process. Most of the problems we are asked to fix come from skipping one of these stages.
  1. ConsultationWe start by understanding the problem rather than quoting equipment.
  2. Site AssessmentNothing is specified until the building has been looked at properly.
  3. Solution DesignA specification you can read, understand and compare.
  4. InstallationCareful work, clean site, minimal disruption.
  5. Support & MaintenanceHandover, then an ongoing relationship rather than a closed job.

Tell us about the property and what you are trying to achieve. For anything beyond a very small job we will arrange a site visit, because specifying equipment without seeing the building rarely produces an accurate price.
