I've just moved my business's Annual maintenance services to BAC. They aren't the cheapest but the attitude of the engineers and office staff has been excellent, nothings too much trouble.

We had our Burglar alarm changed in July. The new one has been great, its very easy to use and even has an App that I can use to set and unset it when I'm out. The whole process was painless even with the social distancing and the engineer was fully equipped with mask and gloves. Having had other tradesman in recently I was surprised how very clean and tidy they were (They left our house spotless!) Good service, thank you

One of their vans deliberately cut me up this morning on fishponds road forcing me into the bus lane. So much for the family image.

Used this company for an 18 camera CCTV system for my company. Very knowledgable and good service. A couple of teeething problems but they rectified these very quickly.
