Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to install an intruder alarm?
It depends on the size of the property, how many entry points need covering, and whether you want a wired or wireless system. A two bedroom flat with a couple of sensors and a panel is a very different job to a five bedroom house with outbuildings and a garden gate. We survey before quoting rather than pricing over the phone, because the honest answer changes once we have walked round. The estimate is free and there is no obligation attached to it.
What grade of alarm does a house need?
Most domestic properties in Kent are Grade 2, which is what the majority of home insurers expect for a standard house. Grade 3 comes in where there is a higher risk or a specific insurer requirement, often on larger or more isolated properties. If your insurance policy names a grade, that is the one you need and we will fit to it. If it does not, we will tell you what is genuinely appropriate rather than selling you up a grade you have no use for.
Do you fit wireless alarms as well as wired?
Yes, both. Wired is more stable and needs less attention over the life of the system, so we fit it wherever the cable run is practical. Wireless goes in faster, causes far less disruption, and is the sensible choice in a period property or anywhere you cannot chase walls or lift floors. Wireless systems we fit are encrypted and supervised as standard, so the panel knows if a sensor stops reporting rather than quietly ignoring it.
Do you install access control and electric gates too?
Yes. Access control, door entry and gate automation are part of the same side of the business as the alarms, so one team surveys and fits the lot. That matters more than it sounds, because the alarm, the gate and the door entry usually want to share power and network runs. Doing them together means one set of cabling and one visit rather than paying twice for the same access work and then trying to make three systems talk to each other afterwards.
Which areas do you cover for alarm installation?
We are based in Aylesford, so Maidstone and the surrounding towns are our closest work. From there we cover Medway, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Dartford and Bromley regularly, and we work more widely across Kent, the South East and into London. If you are not sure whether you are in range, ring and ask. We will tell you honestly rather than quoting for a job we would struggle to get back to for a service visit.

What Is a Monitored Alarm System?
A monitored alarm system is one that does not just make a noise when it goes off, but sends the alarm to a manned monitoring centre that can act on it, calling a keyholder or requesting a police response. Where a standard alarm relies on a neighbour to notice the siren, a monitored one means someone is always watching for the signal, day or night, whether you are home or on the other side of the world. It is the difference between an alarm that shouts and an alarm that actually brings a response.

Intruder Alarm Installation Maidstone
A good intruder alarm installation in Maidstone starts with a survey, not a price. It means the right sensors placed where an intruder would actually go, a system graded to what the property and your insurer need, and everything tested so you know it works. For homes and businesses across Maidstone that turns a box of parts into protection you can rely on, and it is the fitting as much as the kit that decides whether the alarm earns its keep. What yours needs depends on the property, but a proper installation always starts by looking at the building.

Are Pet-Friendly Alarm Systems Effective?
Yes, pet-friendly alarm systems are effective, and for most households with a cat or a dog they are the sensible way to have an alarm you actually use. They rely on pet-tolerant motion sensors that ignore movement low down, where a pet lives, while still detecting a person moving through a room. The result is an alarm you can set with the pets at home without it going off every time the dog crosses the hall. They are not magic, though, and how well they work depends on the pet, the sensor and where it is placed.

What Is the Difference Between Wired and Wireless Alarm Systems?
The difference between wired and wireless alarm systems is simply how the sensors talk to the control panel. In a wired system they are connected by cables run through the walls, and in a wireless system they send encrypted radio signals instead. That one difference drives everything else, wireless goes in quickly with little mess and runs its sensors on batteries, while wired means more installation work but nothing to replace in the sensors. For most existing homes wireless is now the sensible default, and wired earns its place mainly when the walls are already open.

What Should You Look for in an Alarm System?
The main things to look for in an alarm system are the right security grade for your property, the option to have it monitored, proper encryption and supervision if it is wireless, tamper detection, app control, and an installer who surveys the property and stands behind the work. Get those right and the brand on the box barely matters. So the short answer is that the important choices are about grade, response and who fits it, far more than the badge or the number of sensors in the kit.

How Long Do Alarm System Batteries Last?
Most alarm system batteries last between two and five years, depending on the part. The small batteries in wireless door, window and movement sensors usually go two to five years, the backup battery inside the control panel typically lasts three to five years, and the battery in an external sounder is often good for around five. None of them last forever, which is why a decent system keeps an eye on its own batteries and warns you long before one actually dies. So the short answer is a few years per battery, and the important part is never being caught out by a flat one.
