David from IMMS fitted our intruder alarm system last week. Very pleasant to deal with and the work he carried out was done professionally.

You have left one of your systems installed on my property that previous owners paid a subscription for. The alarms keep going off and you refuse to remove your equipment without charging me to collect your equipment. Why should I pay for you to remove your equipment you leased to a previous owner? I have kindly removed the system and will send on an invoice for my services.

I use IMMS for my home security and they are very good. They are easy to contact and organise maintenance (batteries etc) when needed. We also found them to be very fairly priced! Highly recommend! Service: Installation

After an unfortunate break in at our home we contacted a few Edinburgh alarm companies. David's prompt response and professionalism was fantastic. His engineers were efficient, courteous and tidy. We are so pleased with our monitored alarm system and now have great peace of mind thanks to IMMS.
