Intruder alarms for Bradford buildings
Many Bradford buildings are former mills and warehouses now used as offices, flats and workshops. Older structures like these often need systems designed around thick walls, open floors and changes of use.
For offices we set up user codes and areas so different staff and tenants can set only the parts of the building they use. In period properties we position sensors and wiring carefully, and use wireless devices where cabling would damage original features. For schools we protect IT suites and offices and set up out-of-hours keyholding arrangements.

Choosing the right alarm grade in Bradford
Most homes and small businesses in Bradford need a Grade 2 system. Shops with stock, warehouses, workshops and higher-value homes usually need Grade 3, with anti-masking detectors and dual-path monitoring. Our Grade 2 vs Grade 3 guide explains the difference.
Monitoring and police response
We fit audible-only, keyholder-monitored and police-response systems. Police response needs an SSAIB or NSI certificated installer, an approved alarm receiving centre and, in most cases, confirmed activations to BS 8243. As an SSAIB certificated company we can design Bradford systems to qualify.
Intruder alarm maintenance in Bradford
Monitored alarms normally need two maintenance visits a year and audible-only systems one, which is often a condition of insurance. Bradford is a short drive from our Baildon office, so visits are easy to fit around your opening hours. We also take over systems fitted by other companies. See maintenance contracts.
- App control so you can set, unset and check the alarm from your phone
