10 Outside house alarm issues
Posted 27 May
Job location: L22We were having issues with our outside alarm. Phil wasn’t able to get to our house but he took time to explain over the phone what the potential issues might be & he was able to cause of problem. He didn’t ask for a fee and didn’t pressure us to book a date for him to come and fix the alarm. Superb customer service.10 Old alarm started playing up and alarming out

Initial contact was fine, then he simply failed to turn up when he said, without any prior communication, and failed to respond on three occasions. Shockingly poor serviceVerified reviewerJob location: PR8Response from Home Security Systems NW
Firstly i'd like to tender my unreserved apologies to Mr Thomson for failing to attend his property on 7th April , unfortunately i was taken ill on the 6th April and subsequently hospitalised for a period of 4 days with a severe Campylobacter infection that required supportive medical assistance. Regrettably i was physically unable to contact him to reschedule our appointment having no immediate family able to assist me, being a member of Checkatrade for some 8 years now, with string of normally high scoring reviews, i can only offer my sincere apologies to Mr Thomson again , as not normally in the habit of letting clients down.
10 Alarm Fault
Posted 15 March
Had a new alarm fitted by another company some time ago but we never set it up after the company just left us with a paper guide/instructions. Came home to the internal alarm sounding off and we were unable to stop it. We called Phil and he came out within 30 mins. He was able to resolve the issue and reset the system so we now know how to activate/use it. Phil was friendly, genuine and professional. Would recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: L2110 Alarm System Check and new Bell Box
