A local property developer and builder had just completed his new home in Stock, Essex. Next he needed to add smart home security and AV!
Working in the construction industry, he had previous experience of using multiple contractors. And this meant he was very clear about one thing…
He only wanted one contractor who could handle all aspects of the installation: (more…)
How much does an intruder or burglar alarm cost, what is the difference in cost between wireless and wired installations? Also, what about certified or not certified. These are questions we get asked regularly as security providers.
Most of our customers want to know how much does an intruder or burglar alarm cost before realising which type suits their premises the best. There are many different factors to consider and with hundreds of self install or monthly payment options available its difficult to sort the good from the bad. For budgetary purposes most residential installations of burglar alarms supplied and installed by a professional installer for around a three bedroom property are between £500 – £900. A major factor of cost is location, London installations are more expensive where as Essex areas such as Canvey Island, Rayleigh, Chelmsford etc can be cheaper.
This allows you to gauge the initial costs for a decent intruder alarm. We would strongly advise against DIY products or installers that aren’t accredited by one of the two governing bodies for security providers:
SSAIB (The Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board)
NSI (National Security Inspectorate)
By doing this you are ensuring your burglar alarm is installed to the correct British Standards and that they have proper procedures in place. If you do not your intruder alarm system will not be compliant and your insurance company may invalidate your policy.
There are many different factors to take in to consideration when building an intruder alarm system. Some houses are to spread out to reliably use some wireless systems, wired systems aren’t always possible due to decoration and condition. These can all affect the installation costs.
SFB Solutions believe every job is unique and for this reason we always insist on a full site meeting with the client to ensure a bespoke quotation is created and documented.
By far the most important aspect of quotations is to always make sure the quotation is inclusive of all equipment required. A detailed specification produced and shared to ensure the customer can see the areas covered and where equipment will be installed.
Commercial burglar alarm installations can be quite different in there structure and specification as they are often required by the insurance company to be installed to a specific grade and type.
A traditional wired intruder alarm system is perfect for most commercial installations where wiring can be hidden in the fabric of the building. If a homeowner is undergoing renovation we would also suggest using a wired burglar alarm system as the wiring can be hidden within the renovation works. There are pro’s and con’s for each type but generally if we can wire the system we will. The wired equipment costs less from the manufacturers however takes longer to install so labor costs increase where equipment costs decrease.
All new intruder alarm systems have a wireless version and these are becoming highly reliable. Most new installations on residential dwellings are wireless as there is no need to try and hide cabling. Each device does require a battery to power it but these can last up to two years in some instances. A quotation visit would be required to ensure the equipment can distribute a good signal to all devices. The wireless burglar alarm systems do not work on the same frequency as you home WiFi network. This keeps the alarm completely separate from your home network allowing it to stay in contact with its devices if your WiFi drops out or disconnects. All our intruder alarm systems are installed to Grade 2 and above meaning the wireless devices are two way and check in at least every 4 minutes. Some DIY burglar alarm products do not do this, be mindful that 1 way communication is never advised. As above the equipment is much more expensive however the labor costs of installation can be reduced.
How much does an intruder or burglar alarm cost, wireless burglar alarm systems are generally installed in a working day with one engineer completing the work. A wired system can take longer than its wireless partner as cabling will need to be run and hidden within the fabric of the building. Handover and training can vary in time but generally takes between one and two hours. On completion an instruction pamphlet, welcome pack service book and full training are provided.
At the time of the initial meeting and quotation appointment we would complete a risk assessment on the property. We would also ask if the premises insurance company have placed any requirements within the policy to ensure the burglar/intruder alarm is installed to the desired grade and specification. Some properties require a Police response or alarm receiving center connection for a key holder response. Most residential intruder/burglar alarm installations are self monitored through the internet connection and subsequent manufacturer app installed on the users smart phone.
The location of the property that the installation will protect and secure is very important, SFB Solutions have customers all over the country but th ebiulk of our work is in Essex & London. Likewise the size and make up of the premises is also very important. London based installations and projects obviously incur extra charges due to parking, congestion and ULEZ charges if they apply. Essex based installations in areas such as Wickford, South Woodham Ferrers or Leigh On Sea in Southend do not generally incur these charges as these issues are not relevant. We always provide a full quotation detailing all costs including parking etc. if required and any taxes or charges such as VAT.
Some of the larger burglar alarm suppliers offer a monthly subscription service with a small upfront installation cost. There are a number of considerations to take in to account when employing on of these companies, to keep costs low they have started to omit (remove) some important equipment or factors:
In conclusion to the article there are so many different factors to take in to consideration when considering a intruder or burglar alarm system we would always suggest employing a professional installer. Some home DIY products can work well for a period but you must be specific in your choice to ensure two way communication between all devices at all times. You must also check with your insurer to ensure this type of product will suffice, generally in our experience this isn’t the case.
A professional installer should have the relevant training, experience, insurance and accreditation to ensure you have piece of mind and trust in them and your installation. Not only that you can be sure it has been installed to the latest British Standards using only the equipment that ensures the protection of your premises is paramount.
Yes there are some cheap DIY products available but will they make you feel secure and would you be 100% certain that they would work correctly if ever required? At SFB Solutions we don’t just sell security products we provide the piece of mind, confidence and security that the products and installation will work every time they are required!

RETAIL BURGLAR ALARM INSTALLATION
Blue Beau Boutique, located in Rayleigh Essex, were looking for a company to install a new burglar alarm. To meet the requirements of their Insurance Policy, it was vital that the alarm was installed by an SSAIB accredited company. Therefore the Boutique’s Insurance Company recommended SFB Solutions. We are an SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board) accredited business providing quality CCTV and burglar alarm installations.
After the initial enquiry, we arranged a site visit. As with any client, retail or residential, SFB Solutions will always visit the site before quoting. Site visits are vital to discuss specific concerns or requests the client may have. In addition it allows us to identify any problems or challenging areas within the property. We understand that every client is different and every premises is different and we’re committed to providing security solutions for everyone. Above all we want to offer peace of mind for all our clients.
We met the owners of the boutique and undertook a more in-depth look at the premises. We spent some time explaining what products we felt would meet suit their security needs. After the review and discussion, we recommended an Eaton Scantronic Alarm system. The Eaton Scantronic Burglar Alarm system is a ‘smart’ security system. The system is accessible via the Cloud, meaning that clients can manage and monitor their security systems wherever they are.
We provided a written quotation that gave the client a full breakdown about the product we would supply and install along with a plan of where the different parts of the security system will be installed. At SFB Solutions we feel that a written quotation is important as it provides our clients with the assurance that there are no hidden costs.
The client agreed that the bespoke burglar alarm system met their security requirements. We booked a convenient date and time for us to visit the premises to install the Burglar Alarm system. As members of the local Essex based Trading Standards scheme, ‘Buy with Confidence’, we pride ourselves on our high standard of work. The owners of Blue Beau Boutique were more than happy the standard of our work and the system provided.
At SFB Solutions we believe that the job doesn’t finish once installation is completed. Therefore, after every intruder alarm system installation we provide the client with a welcome pack. This pack contains an easy to follow tutorial and explanation of the security system we have installed. We offer a free customer service contact number to all our clients so they know they can speak to a security systems specialist should any issues arise.
SFB Solutions takes pride in being a local company that is big enough to cope and small enough to care. We install all types of home or retail security products from Ring Doorbells to Full Intruder Alarm systems and CCTV. SFB Solutions is an SSAIB accredited company. We are based in Essex and cover all the surrounding areas including Chelmsford, Wickford, Basildon, Benfleet, Rayleigh, Southend, Westcliff, Stanford Le Hope and Leigh on Sea.
