    Alef thank you so much

    Posted 5 days ago

    A totally professional and courteous experience job done smoothly they fitted a new smart security system which I can’t believe the improvement from my old system would recommend them without hesitation. Thank you

    Alarm & CCTV installed

    Posted 08 July 2025

    The jobs carried out in the title is just a fraction of the work Bernard and Jack have carried out for me over the years. They are absolutely fantastic, reliable and very reasonably priced. Their quality of work is superb and I can always count on them when I need them. They have worked on a few properties for me now and I will always use their services moving forwards as I have never had any problems. They are there when they say they will be there and if for any reason they are unable to they will always let me know in advance. Superb Team and I’m very happy with them.

    Full Alarm System fitting.

    Posted 03 October 2024

    Bernard from start to finish explained the product and features of the new alarm system. He also found a package to suit my budget. I am highly satisfied and recommend others to use his service. Jack explained how to use the app as well and was very patient with me. Thank you both.

Company background

We are a family-run business operating throughout the Manchester, Lancashire, and Cheshire areas.


Established in 1990, we offer a wide range of electronic and mechanical security products - ranging from a simple door lock to a sophisticated intruder alarm.

Experience / History

Although we offer all the major security alarm systems, we specialise in the installation of the AJAX Wireless Smart Alarm system and the Honeywell GALAXY intruder alarm and will be happy to offer our servicing experience to customer's existing Honeywell systems, providing these are not contracted or monitored systems. We are an authorised installer of the AJAX smart alarm, which can be fitted in less than one day. It incorporates interior and exterior audible sounders, configured with your mobile to send notifications of intruder alarms and faults, and can be connected to a monitoring centre by integrated SIM card.


Monitoring

We offer many forms of remote monitoring for your alarm system, including GSM Sim card solutions to dial landline or mobile, two-way voice communication, and text messages. Please enquire from our Consultant.

We provide a 24-hour emergency service for our contracted customers.

We are fully insured with AXA for Public Liability insurance.

All our systems are fully guaranteed for a period of 12 months from the date of installation, and we provide after - sales maintenance on an annual basis.
