We had an issue with the alarm that came with our new build property. Chris was able to troubleshoot and talk me through the fix remotely when I first contacted him. Amazing service and very friendly.

Chris provided a quote within days of my request. I had to delay work due to delays in moving into my new house but he refused to take any money from me until he had completed all work. He has now completed it in one day rather than two (considerately staying late to get done as I have my first night in the house tonight so he wanted me to feel safe). His work was totally efficient, clean and tidy. Very professional and a great system. Highly recommended.

Chris came out initially for a site survey, and his recommendations were straightforward without attempting to install unnecessary equipment. Excellent communication throughout. Work was carried out to the agreed spec and schedule without a hitch, very clean and tidy, no cables visible indoors. He oversaw the installation of the support phone app, and all explanations were clear and concise, and we are both delighted with the outcome. Couldn't ask for more.

Chris fitted an alarm and cameras to our house and we have nothing but praise for him and for the quality of the work he carried out. He was quick to respond to our initial enquiry and to quote and complete the installation. We liked the fact that he gave a lot of thought to what would work best for us and he always found a solution to any challenges that arose. He gave us excellent advice and guidance and was very helpful with and responsive to any queries we had. We can not recommend Chris highly enough.

Chris was quick to respond to my queries. He kept the appointment times which we arranged for estimation and fitting and kept me in the loop with developments. The fitting was neat, tidy and quick. I would recommend him to anyone looking to upgrade their intruder and front door security.

Having been let down by previously recomended alarm companies who either didn't turn up to quote, or who did quote but never turned up to do the work, we found Woodward Security on this site and based on the many great reviews decided to book a quote. Chris was prompt with his reply, agreed a date/time to suit and after assessment quickly recomended the best options for our property which needed an old, broken system completely replacing plus sensor reconfiguration following an internal refurb. We found Chris to be extremely knowledgable and friendly so booked Woodward Security to undertake the work. We then had to change the booking due other contractors, and Chris was very understanding and agreed to amend the installation date without fuss. On the day of the work Chris explained what he was going to do, checked noise levels were ok as I was working from home at the time, and was polite, courteous and professional throughout. He went through the full system and set up, including the mobile app and went through everyrhing in detail. Once finished he then tidied up and left no mess at the property, which was great. All in all we found Chris to be knowledgeable, efficient, friendly and tidy. Pricing was reasonable and we do feel like we got real value for money, which is all you want as a customer. If you need a new alarm system or are due an upgrade then Woodward Security is a fantastic choice.

I picked Woodward based on good reviews and I prefer to use a locally owned business. I needed my out of date cameras and recorder replacing which involved total rewire and new transmitters. I wasn’t disappointed Woodward were as good as their reviews and I will definitely use again.

Chris took over an existing alarm system, sorted out all the old issues and replaced the central unit. This was followed by an upgrade to our CCTV system and subsequent App set up and tuition. Great service, very neat work and fully tidied up afterwards. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his services. Thanks Chris.

Chris and his team did a fantastic job fitting my alarm system and cctv recently. Chris was very knowledgeable, he helped me choose the best cameras for what I needed and went above and beyond to help. They were able to accommodate my short time frame and were nothing but professional on the day. I am very pleased with the service and how well all of the wires have been hidden. I would 100% recommend Woodward Security!

After receiving a couple of outlandish quotes from other firms I came across Chris Woodward. He listened to our requirements, quoted a reasonable price. He scheduled the work to be done before our holiday, arrived on time, did the job without a fuss, cleaned up after himself. In addition to the alarm system, he fitted an outside light. Totally satisfied with his prices and 1st class work.

I contacted Chris for the installation of an alarm system following reading excellent reviews. The quote was very competitive and Chris was highly professional. The work was carried out according to schedule and with very little disruption. No mess was left. The equipment installed was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Woodward Security and I will certainly use him in the future.

I contacted Woodward Security and Chris responded to me swiftly and agreed an appropriate time to offer an onsite quote. He turned up on time and explained all the CCTV options carefully and clearly. There were no pushy sales techniques, just clear information to help me make an informed decision. He emailed me his final quote a couple of hours later. We booked him straight away and he managed to fit our job in the following week. Chris arrived on time and explained exactly what he was going to do and advised which camera position would be best. He completed the job to a high standard and was even able to do me a couple of other little jobs before leaving; by removing some old ariel cables that were no longer needed. The team were clean, tidy and professional. I will be using Woodward security again when I upgrade my alarm system.

We dealt with Chris the proprietor and he was very prompt with attending to give us a quote and then booking the job in and completing the work. Very fair price for the work completed in comparison to what other companies wanted to charge and feel like we have received a real personal and professional service from someone who is obviously very good at what they do. The price quoted for ongoing maintenance on an annual basis is also very reasonable compared with what we have paid previously at our old premises and having also used the company for home CCTV I would not hesitate to recommend.

After looking for an alarm fitting quote, I got in touch with Woodward Security (after scouring reviews of varying companies), whereby Chris was in touch, talking through potential options that suit our requirements. Their engineers were punctual, professional, and fit of the equipment was very well done (can't see any cabling). Very pleased, they're a First class team! I'd highly recommend them!

We contacted Chris after reading great reviews on Which? Trusted Traders and visiting his website. We made contact with Chris and had a prompt reply and visit. Chris was understanding about our requirements and found solutions. On the day of installation Chris, Louie and George were respectful of our home and patient when showing us how to use the system. I feel confident Chris will be helpful in the future if we have any queries. 100% recommend Woodward Security.

Following a recommendation from a neighbour Chris Woodward quoted for a CCTV system for my home. I thought the quote reasonable and Chris, Louie and George installed a 4 camera Hikvision CCTV system at my home. All were friendly, professional and efficient and the system was up and running on the same day - working in darkness and rain to get it done! A couple of glitches were sorted out without quibbles and Chris replied to email queries about system operation very quickly. I would recommend unreservedly.

I can highly recommend Woodward Security who have just installed a domestic burglar alarm. Chris is very professional and knowledgeable. He took the trouble to utilise what he could from my defunct wired system in order to minimise the work and the cost of the new system. Louis and George did an excellent installation job. They were friendly, courteous, efficient and cleared up afterwards. Everything was done to the highest standard and they ensured that I understood how to operate the system. I am confident that should I have any further queries or need advice I shall be able to rely on Chris and his team.
