Intruder alarms for York buildings
York has a very high number of listed buildings and a large hotel, guest house and tourism sector. Fire systems in historic buildings need careful design to protect both people and fabric.
In period properties we position sensors and wiring carefully, and use wireless devices where cabling would damage original features. For pubs, restaurants and hotels we protect stock, cash and back-of-house areas without disturbing guests. For schools we protect IT suites and offices and set up out-of-hours keyholding arrangements.

Choosing the right alarm grade in York
We start every York 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 York systems to qualify.

Monitored alarms normally need two maintenance visits a year and audible-only systems one, which is often a condition of insurance. Visits to York are planned in advance and grouped with nearby sites, so you are not paying for wasted travel. We also take over systems fitted by other companies. See maintenance contracts.
