Burglar Alarm Repairs
We specialise in repairing all types of alarm systems except DIY installations. Our engineers provide comprehensive inspections, system testing, and written reports detailing completed work. We offer cost-effective updates by reusing existing cabling while replacing obsolete components. Our SSAIB-certified technicians deliver guaranteed repairs with a 4-hour response time or sooner, serving both existing and non-regular customers across East Yorkshire. Clients benefit from transparent pricing with no hidden charges and 12-month equipment warranties.
Wireless Alarm Installation
Our wireless alarm systems combine cutting-edge technology with user-friendly operation. Featuring text messaging integration and easy-to-use controls, installations prioritise customer education to ensure complete system understanding. The absence of high-pressure sales approaches allows clients to make informed decisions about their security needs. Systems incorporate dual-path signalling for enhanced reliability, meeting insurance requirements while providing immediate notifications of signal path failures through digital communicator/GPRS hybrid technology.
CCTV Systems
We install high-definition CCTV systems using professional-grade equipment with resolutions up to 4MP. Our systems offer day/night functionality, infrared night vision up to 30 meters, and smart phone remote access. Installations include 1-4TB digital video recorders with looped recording capabilities and easy playback features. Prices start at 490 for single-camera systems, with dedicated monitoring options available. Every installation includes a 12-month warranty covering both equipment and labour, with larger storage capacities and multi-camera solutions tailored to client requirements.
Fire Alarm Installation
Our commercial fire alarm installations utilise the same monitoring technology as burglar alarm systems. We offer both standalone and integrated solutions compatible with existing security infrastructure. Systems incorporate periodic polling to ensure signal path integrity and immediate failure reporting. Installations include regular engineer inspections mandated for police response systems, with maintenance contracts available for ongoing compliance. We specialise in modernising outdated systems while maintaining existing cabling infrastructure, providing cost-effective upgrades without compromising safety standards.
24/7 Emergency Call-Out
Available to all clients within a 40-mile radius, our round-the-clock emergency service guarantees engineer attendance within 4 hours of contact. Covering both domestic and commercial systems, this service addresses urgent alarm faults, false triggers, and security breaches. Our engineers carry comprehensive toolkits to resolve 85%+ of issues immediately, with access to replacement components for urgent repairs. The service includes system diagnostics and recommendations for long-term solutions, available to both regular customers and one-time clients experiencing critical security failures.
