Very happy with GCD - I found them to be trustworthy, responsible, professional, and excellent throughout. They supplied and installed: alarm, locks, cameras, PIR light. I chose their quote because it was so clear and covered all my needs and requests. They took the time to make absolutely certain that I am completely comfortable and confident with every aspect of my new security set up. And indeed I am. Extraordinarily diligent and conscientious. Highly recommended with many thanks.

We used GCD to install locks in our rented property - they were also tasked by our managing agent to service the alarm. a) Security bolts were installed with a screw that only protruded a few mm into the door. The bolts would have failed immediately during any break in attempt had we not noticed; b) Part of a door was broken by an engineer allowing it to blow freely on a windy day. The engineer can be seen looking at the damage done on our CCTV, however when questioning them about it they feigned ignorance; c) When replacing the locks, and without our permission, they threw an entire keychain in the bin, including keys that fitted other locks in the property; d) They failed to notice that the outside siren had failed entirely during an alarm service; f) Invoiced an incorrect total; g) There were issues with alarm sensors. GCD had the audacity to suggest their inability to fix them could have been our own doing as they saw the Installer menu had been accessed. This is despite the audit log clearly showing the menu was accessed after we reported issues on each and every occasion. GCD were offered to attend to verify this, but declined; h) They changed the alarm installer code from it's original setting, without our, the managing agents, or the landlords permission, and are currently refusing to supply it without us agreeing to sacrifice any warranty on their work. Their MD did attempt, and mostly resolve, issues (a) through (f). The remainder are still outstanding.

Thank you for leaving your review, we take all feedback seriously and as you pointed out I personally have worked to resolve all the points raised. With regard to your last points and in respect to the alarm system which was not installed by GCD but by another company some 10 years ago, we were asked to resolve some issues with this alarm by your landlord and via the managing agent. The issues in question were intermittent faults, which our engineer believed to have resolved. However after a couple of days the fault seemed to have returned and after a few further site visits the issue had not been resolved. I then attended with the engineer and instructed him to replace a sensor and change the engineers access code as this had been used, according to the alarm log, when GCD Security had not been present. On carrying out these works, we than had no further issues with the Alarm system. The engineers code is designed for the installers use only and not the tenant as it has access to programming functions and could prevent the alarm from operating correctly if used by untrained persons. Changing of the engineers code was not an issue but we were not prepared to give you, end user the code, we were prepared to make alternative arrangements which were offered to the managing agent including three options to resolve the issue, but two of these options would have sacrificed the warranty on any works carried out on the alarm. At the request of the managing agents. Regards PH

I could have obtained cheaper work but I'm convinced that I couldn't have bettered the quality of the work by GCD. I received excellent care and attention. The staff on-site were pleasant, helpful, and clearly very competent. The work was completed on time to the agreed price. They are not a here today, gone tomorrow organisation, so I am confident I will receive any ongoing support I need.

I requested 4 locks to be changed as we have moved in to a new house. They had someone round to measure up on the same day as original enquiry and the works carried out the following week. They talked me through all the options and if there was a choice that we hadn't discussed (ie. Multiple.locks on 1 key) they rang me very quickly to get an answer to.make sure the job was done exactly as we wished. Very professional, well priced and knowledgeable.

GCD Security are a local business to us and we were looking for home security work to be completed on the house. From the initial contact in the shop to the person who completed the work, they were pleasant and professional. We are now looking for additional work to be completed by GCD Security. More than happy to recommend them.
