We used Circle alarms to replace my mother's old system. On the initial survey visit, we were given good advice and all the options to consider. The date from accepting the quote to the work was just over 2 weeks which was super. On the day of the work - they turned up on time, the work was done very efficiently, made no mess, or noise, and were very good at communicating. I highly recommend circle alarms.

Three house moves over the last 18 years and three alarm installations later and we wouldn’t use anyone else! The initial workmanship and subsequent ongoing service received has always been of a high quality and the installation team have been efficient, helpful and respectful of our property on every occasion. I would highly recommend this company.

At the first visit, we got good advice on alarm and CCTV without a sales pitch. The installation was done 3 weeks after placing our order. The fitters completed the job in the 2 days allocated, efficiently and tidily.

Circle replaced a 10 sensor alarm system from a previous supplier. Their whole approach from initial quotation through to system handover was very professional and created confidence. Installation took a day and a half and they worked very conscientiously, leaving the site tidy. Final bill was as per the quote, even though they had a little extra work to do after they'd deinstalled the previous system

We are really glad we chose Circle Security to install our house alarm. We really like that this is a local company who are very responsive - responding to emails within a couple of hours if not minutes when we were looking for a quote, with follow up questions and to arrange the installation. We also found them to be very competitive price wise. We received a text with a 10 minute warning before they were going to arrive to fit the alarm system. The team were extremely tidy and respectful when they were in our home and took the time to answer all our questions and always asked for our input before continuing with any drilling/placing of the system. I would highly recommend using this company who have made us feel safe in our own home again. Thank you to all the Circle Security team.

New Makeover For Original Alarm System

The engineers came as arranged to update our alarm system. We wanted to go part wireless and pet friendly, so our dog can wander without setting off the alarm. This all happened seemlessly, and with no mess, and the whole experience was great - as we have come to expect from Circle Security over the 30+ years we've been using their services. Delighted also with our new 'app' for remote controlling, and the peace of mind this new security system gives us. Thank you to the team at Circle Security for great service and very reasonable pricing.

We have been very impressed with the professionalism of every body in the company. From the first contact to the work being completed we have been delighted with the standard of work. The communication from all at Circle Security has been first class. All questions we asked were answered and every thing was fully explained in detail. all the work was carried out to the agreed schedule and budget that was in the quote. Scott and Alistair were brilliant on the day arrived when they said they would and worked all day to install our alarm system. We would have no hesitation in recomending Circle Security to anyone wanting to insatll an alarm system.

We had used this company to upgrade and then maintain the alarm system in a former house and were well satisfied. When we moved there was an old inoperable alarm in the new house. Circle Security came promptly to review and advise what kind of new alarm was appropriate. The recommendation and quotation came promptly and seemed sensible and pragmatic. On the day they removed the old system and fitted the new one. The work was done quickly, cleanly and exactly as had been discussed and on completion, the functioning of the alarm was carefully explained. A professionally fitted alarm system is not inexpensive but the cost seemed reasonable to us.
