Core service

Maintenance & Support

Scheduled servicing, fault diagnosis and technical support that keep installed systems working as specified.

Overview

Security and network equipment degrades quietly. Lenses lose focus, hard drives fill, detectors drift out of alignment and firmware falls behind — usually without anyone noticing until the footage is needed or the connection drops.

Planned maintenance catches those issues while they are still small. We service systems we have installed and take on systems installed by others, starting with a full survey so you know exactly what condition the equipment is in.

What this covers

CCTV maintenance and camera health checks
Intruder alarm servicing and battery replacement
Network and cabling maintenance
Fault diagnosis and repair
System upgrades and component replacement
Preventative maintenance visits
Remote technical assistance where systems allow
Scheduled servicing to an agreed programme
Condition reports on inherited systems

Technical detail

Visit frequency
Agreed per site — commonly six or twelve monthly

Image quality, focus, cleaning, recording and retention
Alarm checks
Detector function, signalling, battery and panel status
Network checks
Link quality, cabinet condition, terminations and labelling
Reporting
Written condition report after each visit
Response
Attendance arranged to suit the site and the fault

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

Problems found before you need the system

Routine checks pick up failing drives, misaligned cameras and flat backup batteries in advance rather than during an incident.

02

Records you can rely on

Each visit is documented — what was checked, what was adjusted and what needs attention next — so system condition is never a mystery.

03

Longer service life

Cleaning, re-tensioning, re-terminating and firmware maintenance keep equipment performing well past the point where neglected systems fail.

04

One point of contact

Cameras, alarms, cabling and network equipment are all supported by the same team, so faults are not passed between contractors.

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.

Next step

Talk to us about maintenance & support.

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.
