dan2802   53 #37 Posted June 26, 2015 About £65 a year for a service/system check. Sounds reasonable to me. Your protecting your greatest asset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

the_mandarin   15 #43 Posted October 15, 2016 I was looking for information on the installation and maintenance cost of a burglar alarm for a residential property.  How much does it normally cost these days to install a burglar alarm, and what is a reasonable price to pay for the annual maintenance contract?  Any do's and don'ts that you can suggest are welcome, as are recommendations of companies or firms that have done a good job of installations.

-MG-   10 #44 Posted October 15, 2016 Cost depends on type of system, type of sensors, number of sensors etc. We've used Ashton alarms for the two houses we've lived in since moving to Sheffield. Annual maintenance contract around £70. Been really happy with their service and advice. When we've had the odd glitch with the system they've always come out to look at it within a few hours. Can highly recommend, but as with all services, get a few quotes, ask questions and choose what suits you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

mafya   220 #46 Posted October 16, 2016 I had Ashton alarms supply and fit me an alarm on my shop, I paid £600 got a decent grade 11 commercial grade alarm. Steve Ashton dealt with me and is a decent fella so I would recommend Ashton Alarms Check out their website= http://ashtonalarms.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
watchcoll   10 #47 Posted October 16, 2016 I used C&H Alarms. Very good service & very happy with the alarm. It works perfectly, as I've found out a few times in the mornings when I forgot it was there....! I had quotes from both Ashton Alarms & C&H Alarms, & the latter came out slightly cheaper for the installation & the yearly maintenance. Both seemed like very professional companies. C&H tend to have a wait time of a couple of weeks, tho. My house is a small 2 up 2 down style terrace. I chose a fairly simple set up of wireless door contacts & room sensors with a wired bell & an extra (more discreet) panel and it cost £504 all in. £70 approx for the servicing. Both quotes said this was entirely suitable for my house, & didn't try to flog any extras. C&H suggested the extra keypad as it's in my lounge & the proper control panel, which is large & unsightly with it's fused spur and protruding wires, is hidden away in a cupboard. I'd suggest getting both to quote & go with what's best for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
