The engineers visiting the site are great, however the logistics process for organising items for jobs is not that great and repeated visits are required due to lack of / incorrect equipment.
E.g lack of extension poles for heat detectors or equipment without fully charged batteries.

We are actively reviewing our internal processes to ensure our teams are always fully equipped for every job, and we are committed to making the necessary improvements to prevent these situations from recurring.

Out of hours help was non existent. Active alarm but they didn’t want to know. The call handlers were extremely nonchalant and uninterested. I would not recommend this company at all.

The engineer (Dylan Williams) was extremely helpful. He was very thorough in his work checking the system and made some adjustments to 2 of the room monitors, as I’d had problems with spiders setting the alarm off. He explained things well and advised me where I could purchase a spray to deter spiders.
