Burglar Alarm Maintenance & Servicing
Will your insurers pay up if a burglar takes a chance?
Many of our customers have told us that their household insurance is void if their alarm is not regularly serviced.
No one wants to upset their neighbours with a nuisance alarm. So it makes sense to identify and rectify any minor faults before they cause big problems, often in the middle of the night.
Since 1979 we've attended 1,000's of alarm faults, many in the middle of the night, witnessed house fires caused by overheating alarms and executed numerous warrants to silence nuisance systems. With regular maintenance many of these visits would have been avoided!
A service plan is advised by:
- British and European standards
- Alarm equipment manufacturers
- NSI, NACOSS, SSAIB
- National Police policy
- Many Insurance companies
One-off service
- 35 point check / inspection / test
- Service Certificate
Charge
Typically £126 new customer, £116 existing customer
New battery, if required, add £28 - £36
We'll perform a quick visual inspection of your alarm before we start. If we judge it's not worth servicing we can abort the service visit without charge.
A service visit is like a vehicle MOT and does not include any repairs, modifications or upgrades. Our engineer will document any issues or faults discovered. A separate price will be quoted for any additional work.
Discounted repair charges for 6 months.
- If an unexpected fault develops within 30 days of a service we'll give a 33% discount off our normal repair charges and emergency call-outs, not including parts.
- If an unexpected fault develops within 6 months of a service we'll give a 10% discount off our normal repair charges and emergency call-outs, not including parts.

A true gent is Geoff. Not once did he try to sell me anything, service or product, he gave me free, helpful advice that allowed me to determine I have a faulty sounder. His knowledge is superb and even when I told him I was going to fit it myself he gave me advice on how to do it. I recommend him to anyone looking for an alarm system or help. If I don't succeed in fitting it there is only one company that I will call to do it and that is Abbotts. Thank you so much Geoff. Ray B

Phoned Geoff on the Saturday following problems with my alarm going off. His knowledge was second to none and knew what he was talking about. He arranged for someone to come and service my alarm at a time convenient for me. The fault was rectified and the explanation of each job that was being carried out was fully explained (Testing sensors etc). I would recommend this company to all!! J R
