Nothing makes a house feel unsettled quite like coming home to find a door that was definitely locked now standing open. Most people never planned to think hard about intruder alarms until something like that happens — a neighbour's break-in, a spate of shed thefts on the street, or simply the unease of a property that's stood empty a bit too often lately.
By the time you're looking into it properly, the choice isn't just whether to have an alarm, it's which kind actually suits your property and how you live in it. We help you work through that rather than fitting whatever's quickest.
How we approach a burglar alarm installation
We start with a free site survey, walking the property to identify entry points, vulnerable areas and how the space is used day to day, including whether pets are present. From there we agree sensor positions, zoning and whether bell-only or monitored suits you, before carrying out the installation to the manufacturer's specification.
Once fitted, we set the system up, test every sensor and zone and run through operation with you, including arming, disarming and what to do if a false alarm occurs, before we leave the job.
Typical commercial alarm pricing
Commercial systems vary with site size, zoning needs and whether monitoring is required, so this is only a rough guide — a free site survey gives an accurate figure.
Small retail unit, single zone
typically £500-£900
Multi-zone office or retail system
typically £900-£2,000
Monitored commercial system
typically from £1,200, plus monitoring fees
Warehouse or multi-building site
typically from £2,000, quoted individually

Shared commercial premises such as John Wilson Business Park often need each tenant's unit alarmed and zoned independently, so one business's system doesn't interfere with or depend on another's. We plan installations around that independence.
