Intruder alarms for Skipton buildings
Skipton’s busy high street, holiday accommodation and older stone buildings mean much of our work here is protecting guests, staff and stock in traditional properties.
For pubs, restaurants and hotels we protect stock, cash and back-of-house areas without disturbing guests. For shops we protect stock and stockrooms and can add panic buttons for staff at the counter. In period properties we position sensors and wiring carefully, and use wireless devices where cabling would damage original features.

Choosing the right alarm grade in Skipton
We start every Skipton 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 Skipton systems to qualify.
Intruder alarm maintenance in Skipton
Monitored alarms normally need two maintenance visits a year and audible-only systems one, which is often a condition of insurance. We travel to Skipton for installations and planned maintenance, grouping visits by area to keep costs down. 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
- Shutter, roller door and perimeter protection for commercial units
- Separate areas for different floors, tenants or outbuildings
- Integration with CCTV so you can see what triggered an alarm
