Got Questions?

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we're asked most often. Can't find what you're looking for? Get in touch and we'll help directly.

Getting Started

Do you offer a free consultation or site survey?

Yes. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation and site survey for residential, commercial and public sector properties. We'll assess your site and recommend a bespoke solution to fit your needs and budget.

What areas do you cover?

We provide bespoke security and smart home services for domestic and commercial clients across Surrey, London and the Home Counties, including Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Hampshire, West Sussex, East Sussex and Kent.

How long does installation take?

It depends on the size and complexity of the project — a single alarm system might take a day, while a full smart home or multi-building commercial installation can take several weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline as part of your quote.

Accreditation & Trust

Are you accredited?

Yes. We are accredited by SSAIB — the leading governing body within the security industry — as well as DHF. All our staff are fully DBS checked and security cleared.

How much experience does your team have?

Our Directors bring over 30 years of combined experience in the security industry, having witnessed first-hand how threats, technology and best practice have evolved over that time.

Alarms & Monitoring

Can I control my alarm remotely?

Yes. Our Smart Alarm systems use the Texecom Connect App, giving you full control and visibility of your security from your smart device, wherever you are.

Do you provide 24/7 monitoring?

Yes, we work with Southern Monitoring Services, the UK's leading monitoring station, to provide round-the-clock monitoring of your alarm, fire and CCTV systems.

Is a fire alarm a legal requirement for my business?

In most commercial and public sector settings, yes — a compliant fire alarm system is both a legal and moral requirement. Contact us to arrange a fire consultation and we'll advise on what's needed for your premises.

CCTV, Gates & Access Control

Can I view my CCTV from my phone?

Yes, our CCTV systems use the latest 4K technology and give you full remote vision of your property from any smart device, wherever you are.

Can automated gates be integrated with video door entry and access control?

Yes. We regularly combine automated gates, video door entry and access control into a single, seamless system, so you can see and grant access to visitors from your smart device.

Smart Home & AV

Can smart home and AV systems work with my existing security setup?

Yes — this is one of our key strengths. Because we design both your security and smart home systems, we build them to work together from the start, rather than as separate add-ons.

Do I need a new-build property for whole-home automation?

No. While it's easiest to plan cabling into a new build or major renovation, we also design retrofit solutions for existing properties, including wireless options where appropriate.

Maintenance & Support

Do you offer ongoing maintenance?

Yes, we provide on-going maintenance for all the systems we install, to keep them working reliably for years to come.

What if I have an emergency outside business hours?

We provide 24/7 client emergency helplines — you'll find the numbers on our Get In Touch page.
