You will speak to Stuart Haywood, who will be the person who turns up.

A wireless alarm can be fitted without running cables through your house, which makes it practical in properties where a wired system would mean lifting floors and chasing walls.

I will be straight with you about what an alarm does and does not do. It is a deterrent and it raises the alarm. It does not physically stop anybody, and it is not a substitute for a decent lock on the door they would actually come through. If your cylinder can be snapped by hand, spend the money there first.

Where an alarm does earn its place, I will size it to the property rather than selling you a sensor for every room.

You probably need this if

  • You have no alarm and want a deterrent
  • Your existing system is old, unreliable or nobody knows the code
  • You do not want cables run through a finished house
  • You want to be notified on your phone while you are away
  • You are securing a rental or a second property

What happens

  1. I look at the property and where somebody would actually try to get in
  2. I recommend what is genuinely worth fitting, and what is not
  3. I supply and fit the system
  4. I show you how to use it, and make sure you can change the code yourself

Common questions

Is a wireless alarm as good as a wired one?
For most homes, yes. Modern wireless systems monitor their own signal and battery and warn you when a sensor stops reporting. Wired still has the edge on very large or complicated buildings.
Will it need a monitoring contract?
Not necessarily. Plenty of systems alert your phone directly with no ongoing fee. Monitored systems with a response service are a different product and a different cost, and I will explain the difference rather than defaulting you into a subscription.
Should I get an alarm or better locks first?
Locks, nearly always. An alarm tells you something has happened. A good lock is what stops it happening, and it is usually the cheaper of the two.
