Choosing the right alarm grade in Ilkley
We start every Ilkley job with a security risk assessment. That decides whether a Grade 2 system is enough or your insurer will expect Grade 3. 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 Ilkley systems to qualify.
Intruder alarm maintenance in Ilkley
Monitored alarms normally need two maintenance visits a year and audible-only systems one, which is often a condition of insurance. We are in Ilkley most weeks, so it is straightforward to book visits that suit you. 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
