Welcome to Alarmed-and-ready.co.uk, the online UK directory of residential and commercial alarm installers. We hope to make the search for an installer in your area a quick and simple process.

Statistics have shown that around 60% of attempted burglaries attempted on homes fitted with burglar alarms are unsuccessful, suggesting that burglar alarms are an effective deterrent for prospective burglars. There are however a few guidelines you should refer to before purchasing a new alarm. The British Security Industry Association recommends using a professional alarm installation company that are registered with a police recognised alarm inspectorate. There are several types of documentation and accreditation, these include NSI (National Security Inspectorate), NACOSS (National Approval Council for Security Systems), ICON (an approval scheme run by NSI) and SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board).

You should only use installers that offer a free, no obligation estimate and if any firms try to use shock tactics then it is worth considering reporting them to local police or trading standards.
