Absolutely – we will just require some information about your property and security needs first. You can use the 'Have a question?' form at the bottom of this page so that we can contact you to arrange a quotation or you can give us a call. In most cases, a surveyor visit is required. This is a free no-obligation visit so that we can talk to you about a bespoke system designed for your home or business.

Typically, installations of domestic Intruder Alarm or CCTV systems can be completed in 4-8 hours. For larger domestic dwellings or commercial properties, this is likely to be 2-10 days and we may allocate multiple engineers – it all depends on the size of the system.

Once a quotation has been sent to you and you are happy to proceed, we will arrange a date for installation that suits you. Typically, this is within 1-3 weeks, but we can also arrange for installations months ahead if you have a particular date in mind.

Maybe you have built an extension on your home, have changed the layout, or decide you wish to add additional devices or monitoring capabilities – It is all possible.
