Services
Residential Alarm Response
Our residential alarm response service provides 24/7 protection for private properties in Cheshire and South Manchester. Uniformed, SIA-licensed responders arrive promptly to investigate alarms, reset systems, and secure premises. We liaise with police and contractors if damage occurs, leaving detailed records of attendance for homeowners.
Commercial Key Holding
Commercial key holding ensures businesses meet ACPO guidelines with professional 24/7 response. Our staff open/close premises, conduct fire alarm tests, and manage access for contractors. Tailored packages include daily patrols and emergency liaison, reducing employer liability and ensuring staff safety.
School Security Response
School security response protects educational premises with rapid alarm activation handling. Our team works closely with staff to eliminate risks, conducting thorough building sweeps and liaising with emergency services. We provide shields with contact details for public reporting and maintain strict safety protocols.
Fire Alarm Testing
Fire alarm testing services comply with health and safety regulations through scheduled weekly/monthly checks. We test systems, verify electromagnetic door functions, and maintain accurate logs. This service reduces staff workload while ensuring compliance with fire risk assessment requirements.
Holiday Property Checks
Holiday property checks deter crime by simulating occupancy during absences. Our staff conduct daily patrols, accept deliveries, and feed pets to maintain property security. This complimentary service reduces vulnerability without additional charges for genuine call-outs.
