Called with a triggered alarm not knowing the code on the off chance they could help. They didn't install it and had nothing to do with the system yet still selflessly helped guide me through to a solution. Incredibly kind and professional. I have no doubt they'd be incredibly trustworthy for any installations. Thank you!

Awesome service by Midland Alarms from the survey to the fitting Great work by Kevin on the installation, very thorough, clean and nothing was too much for him. I have used them since 2008 as they installed the alarm prior to my moving in so it made sense to stay with them. Good work keep it up guys

I am so impressed by the service from Midland Alarms, especially Kevin who was so helpful when we recently changed our WIFI router. We did not have a service contract yet Kevin spent at least 30 minutes talking me through how to reset the system. He could have said "sorry pay the 106 service fee for an engineer" but instead he went our of his way to help. I will definitely be taking out a contract with them. Thanks Kevin.

Had our alarm fitted last week and everyone we've dealt with has been polite, friendly and very approachable. From Michael who dealt with the sale and Sharpie and Kevin (the engineers) who did extra work to ensure everything was neat and tidy with the wiring hidden- couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you all! Jas and Karan
