    Great service from start to finish.

    Posted 13 February

    Installed a new monitored alarm to replace an old system. Ben provided the initial survey and quote and then returned to fit, along with Richard.. Reliable service. A very neat job with no mess and all waste removed. I chose DGS because of the reviews that I saw and in no way have I been disappointed. A five star jon all around.

    A very professional service

    Posted 07 February

    During a annual service of our ageing alarm system, Ben noted that our control box was becoming very warm, sufficient to cause a potential fire hazard. We decided to update our alarm system to a wireless system. The company emailed the systems available and the prices for the various maintenance contracts. A call to discuss options was made and a decision was finalised together with a fitting date. Ben the engineer duly arrived on time and fitted the new system efficiently, expertly and tidied up afterwards. Be aware that you will have scars from the previous system on your walls to tidy.

    Replacement alarm system

    Posted 21 December 2025

    Came round to give us a quote after a few days. Quote was reasonable and confirmed by email. Alarm replaced after a couple of weeks. The chap that installed it didn’t have a break all day . Friendly guy who obviously knew what he was doing. Didn’t leave any mess around when he left. Really pleased with the work he did. 10/10
