Installation of Security System by Circle Security (Scotland) Ltd
We needed a replacement control unit because our c1970's alarm system simply wasn't working. We had always planned to upgrade this but had never got round to it. On requesting a quote, the company sent someone round the next day who evaluated our old system, recommending we keep the sensors in the rooms - which reduced the cost - but enhancing it with door sensors and a new control unit. On accepting the quote, within a week or so, they arrived to install the upgraded system. Darren and his colleagues carried out the work in a timely, efficient and professional manner in less than half a working day. They kept us informed as the installation progressed, then demonstrated it, showing how much easier and practical the new unit is to use. This was further enhanced by instruction regarding the use of the phone app, the functionality of which is very easy to learn and provides remote control and detailed information regarding system status. Overall, we are absolutely delighted with the installation and Circle Security's product, installation team and support. The new installation has certainly been value for money. We would strongly recommend this company to anyone requiring a new or upgraded alarm system.

Great experience, would highly recommend.
This is the second time I have used the team at Circle Security, and both of my experiences have been fantastic. They are very knowledgeable, responsive, and were very accommodating to our personal security needs. We are extremely happy with the service and the security of our home.

Great Service on Alarm Upgrade
I've had a Circle Security alarm for over a decade and have always been happy with the equipment and the great service. On deciding to upgrade the system I had great service through from the quote to the booking of the install through to installation on the day. All very professional and reliable. The team are very friendly and professional and kept us informed through the whole process so we knew when to expect the visits. Very happy to recommend.

Alarm Installation
Ian from Circle Security called to estimate on 5 February at the time agreed. He discussed options in detail and provided an acceptable etimate followed up by a confirmatory email. The office arranged a suitable date with me and Calum came at the agreed time and spent most of the day removing our existing alarm and installing the new one. The work was dome efficiently and in a very pleasant manner. The installations was installed to my needs and Calum fully explained the various options to set and arrange protection. Altogether a very satisfactory job well done.

Professional and Reliable
A mid-morning slot was agreed upon, received a text advising of Darren’s arrival to carry out annual maintenance service, fit external upgrade of security signs and supply and install a new combined floodlight/PIR. Have used Circle previously and am confident in their workmanship, communication and courtesy to my property. This visit was no exception. Darren explained what was to happen and was efficient, tidy and easy to approach. Costs were previously agreed upon and were as expected. Darren showed me his work before leaving, explained the settings on the new light and advised me what to do if I had any issues or questions.

Comprehensive Service, Courteous operatives.
Having recently completed an extension to our home we felt it was time to install some decent security. We also required smoke/CO alarms and my wife was keen on having CCTV coverage. Ian came out and assessed our needs, providing a list of options. We accepted the quote and agreed to proceed. Darren, Calum and Sam arrived on the specified dates and proceeded with the installation methodically and professionally with minimal disruption. They were extremely obliging and courteous and I was particularly pleased that the system did not require unsightly cabling. They left the place neat and tidy and Ian gave us a thorough explanation of the system operation and how to activate it before he left. We were completely satisfied by the service Circle Security provided and we feel much more secure now.

Alarm instal
Had a new alarm quote by Circle Security Ltd as a neighbour was burgled recently, Ian arrived and went through the options and listened to our requirements, we decided to accept and the engineers Grant and Sam turned up on the date and time agreed and were very polite and explained everything they were doing. After completion all rubbish was removed and the house was left clean and tidy. Grant explained the operation very clearly and set up the APP and talked us through how it worked. We would recommend Circle Security for anyone requiring an alarm.

Excellent work
Approached this company to replace an alarm system and was given a quote very quickly and efficiently. Made a couple of changes before installation, like CCTV cameras front and back. This was added to the installation no problem. Grant and his team turned up on time and worked brilliantly, consulting us constantly to make sure we were happy with what they were doing. All instructions were very clearly explained to us and nothing was too much bother. Had a problem the next day (husband's fault) and they came out right away to fix it. Cannot fault office staff, engineers and estimators. Would definitely recommend this company

Security Alarm Installation
Ian from Circle visited to survey our property and recommended a security system specification that was optimal, with no overselling but offering us options, some of which we were happy to accept. Their quotation was prompt and the work was done as scheduled. We discovered one issue after the installation and albeit a failing on my part, Ian was brilliant in addressing that. Communication throughout was totally professional and the installers Calum and Sam worked efficiently, left the house spotless and spent time briefing us on the workings of the new system. I would have no hesitation in using their service again, and recommend them 100%.

Upgrade Alarm System
As I had a basic alarm system installed at least 10 years ago, I approached Circle and accepted their quotation for a major upgrade. The engineers were were top class with detailed product knowledge, nice personalities and excellent representatives for the company. Quickly and efficiently they set set about their work until completion when they also helped downloading the app and explained its operation in controlling the system. I am very satisfied with the system and have no hesitation in recommending Circle, a locally based company, to anyone requiring security advice.

Excellent service from Circle Security
The team at Circle Security recently upgraded and modernised our home security system. All work was done on time, to budget and at a competitive price. The staff were excellent. They were professional, knowledgeable, communicative, clean and tidy and explained how to use the system very clearly. We feel much safer now and would recommend their services!

Efficient and Reliable Service
Circle Security carry out our annual burglar alarm service each November. It's easy to make appointments, they always arrive on time, and they carry out the service in an organised and competent manner. They also fitted outside security lighting for us three years ago and we cannot compliment them enough for that work, and indeed "everything" they have done for us. For anything relating to the security of our home, we wouldn't hesitate to go to Circle Security as opposed to any of the big names seen on TV adverts.

Such a Great Company
Circle Security have provided my home security requirements for 32 years now. Reasonable prices, top technology, friendly engineers who knows their stuff and are tidy workers. They always turn up on time. I trust them implicitly and have them back to maintain my system year after year. Thanks to Kevin and the team at Circle Security!

Excellent and Efficient
We needed a full system replacement at short notice and Circle were very accommodating. The estimate was very reasonable and certainly cheaper than the national company we had been using for a long time. The engineers arrived on time and did everything they said they would do. They were helpful and polite and did a high-quality job. They left everything tidy. We had a follow-up question which was dealt with the same day. We would definitely recommend them and just wish we had changed companies years ago.

Home alarm replacement
We used Circle Security (Scotland) Ltd to replace a self-installed alarm system recently. We can't praise them enough - have been super pleased with the experience from start to finish. Ian came out at the start of the process to talk us through options and was more than happy to tweak his recommendations and offer options, based on our preferences. Grant and his team went above and beyond to make sure we were happy during the installation - explaining what was going to be happening, removing existing fixtures, leaving areas looking like no work had just taken place, demonstrating the entire system at the end and much more. Would recommend without any hesitation.

We needed an upgrade to our security system. Someone came out within a couple of days, and did not try to sell us anything unnecessary. Everything explained well and work was carried out within 10 days. Extremely happy with what was done.

Alarm and CCTV camera installation at new home.
We accepted a quote from Circle Security (Scotland) Ltd to install a new alarm system and cameras at our new home. This was to be done over a two day period. We received a text each day saying they were on their way and they gave an ETA. The work was completed within the two days as agreed. We have used the same company before at our last home and this was the reason we used them again, twelve years later. They were and have been helpful in the past if we had any issues with the system. They are so respectful working in and around the home and left no mess.

Great company
We have a new build and required the installation of an home intruder alarm system. They turned up to quote/ carry out the work when they said they would and there were no hidden costs or extras. Scott, Grant and Sam were all very polite, helpful and smart. The wiring is all hidden and they were very clean and tidy. We would recommend Circle Security to anyone.

Professional in every way
We had a system from a previous supplier (ADT) which developed a fault and nearly caused a little fire when the battery overheated. They offered a replacement system which was inflexible and had an automatic relay to the police. The monthly charge was excessive. We contacted Circle Security because they are Which Trusted Traders. The initial assessment was careful polite and listened to our requirements. It was not possible to use the existing wiring and they offered a wireless system. The work done was faultless. I can recommend them 100%

Fantastic company
The installation by Circle of my new security system has been a great experience from start to finish. They listened to our needs and made sensible recommendations on what we would need. They went the extra mile to ensure that cables were hidden during installation, they arrived exactly when they said they would and everything was left very tidy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that required a new or replacement alarm system.

Polite, helpful and efficient
I had a new alarm installed by Circle on 21st March 2024. Everyone with whom I dealt be it by 'phone, email or in person was polite and helpful, answering all my questions clearly. All appointments were kept. I was particularly impressed that after installation, waste was cleared up, divided into appropriate piles and I was told where each pile should go for appropriate recycling or disposal.

I had an alarm system installed by this company and have been very happy with the process and experience. I've found Cricle to be polite, responsive and professional at every stage of this process. On the day of install, Alistair & Grant were very punctual. They were friendly, informative and kept my expectations set the entire time doing a great job. Service was excellent and prices fair. I have no complaints on the installation of my system.

Fantastic work from start to finish
Circle Security have just installed a new security system and fire alarm system in our office. As a small community charity we were looking for a local, friendly and professional company to do this work for us. Circle Security met all our hopes - from first meeting with Scott to dealing with Tracey in the office and then meeting Calum, Grant and the rest of the team who carried out the installation work. They are professional, friendly and were really clear about everything they did - explaining the systems, arranging the times, clearing and tidying up and after care too. Would highly recommend this company for your security and fire system needs and for their friendly and professional approach.
