A burglar alarm is one of the most effective deterrents against intruder activity at any property. Modern intruder alarm systems go far beyond a simple bell box — they notify keyholders instantly, connect to 24/7 monitoring centres, integrate with CCTV, and can be controlled remotely via smartphone. Our engineers design and install burglar alarm systems tailored to the specific layout and risk profile of each property. For local installation across Kent see our burglar alarms Kent page, or for Sheerness see burglar alarms Sheerness.
Types of burglar alarm systems
Wired burglar alarm systems use physical cable runs between the alarm panel, detectors and sounders. Outstanding reliability, immune to radio interference — ideal for new builds or renovation projects where cables can be concealed. Widely regarded as the gold standard for permanent intruder alarm installations.
Wireless burglar alarm systems use encrypted radio signals between components, eliminating cable runs entirely. Perfect for retrofitting into existing properties, listed buildings or businesses where disruption must be minimised. Modern wireless alarm systems are highly secure using two-way encrypted communication.
Smart alarm systems connect your burglar alarm to your smartphone — remote arming and disarming, live status and instant push notifications on activation. They also integrate seamlessly with CCTV cameras and smart home devices for a fully joined-up security solution.
House alarms for residential properties

Commercial intruder alarm systems
Commercial properties need larger area coverage, multiple access points, staff access codes and integration with CCTV surveillance and access control. We design bespoke commercial alarm systems for offices, warehouses, retail units, schools and industrial sites — all to BS EN 50131 Grade 2 or 3 as required.
Alarm monitoring and maintenance
All burglar alarm systems we install can connect to a 24/7 professional monitoring centre with keyholder alerts and optional police response. Annual maintenance contracts cover routine servicing and priority call-out to keep your intruder alarm fully operational and insurance-compliant year-round.
