This company has been professional, helpful and readily available from start to finish. When Dan arrived he was very polite, respectful and carried out his work diligently and nothing was too much trouble for him. He was also very patient while teaching us how to use the alarm.

We've been with Carter Security for years now and their service has always been of the highest level - very professional and equally personable, whether it be the visiting engineer or those back at base. On this latest visit we've had the same experience of a polite engineer who takes their time to listen carefully, ask the right questions, and gets the job done - just what you'd want and a great ambassodor for the company. Couldn't ask for more.Verified reviewerJob location: CM310 Came round for regular maintenance
