No Subscription. No Hassle. Just Security.
Most big alarm companies tie you into long contracts of £30 to £60 a month, for years. We do it differently. You pay once for installation and you own the system outright. No monthly fees, no contracts, no surprises.
You own it
The equipment is yours from day one. No leased hardware, no return fees if you cancel.
Zero monthly fees
Free Ajax app, free smartphone notifications, free system control, all built in.
No tie-in contracts
No 12, 24 or 36-month commitments. You’re a customer because you want to be.
The hidden cost of subscription alarms
Subscription alarm providers like Verisure and ADT typically charge between £30 and £60 per month, with most contracts locked in for 24 to 36 months. Over a three-year term, that’s often well over £1,500 in monitoring fees alone, on top of the upfront installation cost. And when your contract ends, you don’t own the equipment.
With our installations, you get the same professional-grade Ajax hardware that the subscription companies use, fitted neatly to your property, paid for once. The Ajax app lets you arm, disarm and check your system from anywhere, free, forever.

Why we chose this model
We’re engineers, not salespeople. We’d rather install a great system once and have you recommend us to your neighbours than lock you into payments you’ll resent in two years. Ajax is one of the most credible wireless alarm platforms in the UK, Grade 2 certified, with up to seven years of battery life and a proper smartphone app, and it doesn’t require a monthly subscription to work properly.
If you ever want professional monitoring through an Alarm Receiving Centre, that’s an option you can add. But it’s genuinely optional, not the only way to use the system.

- Ajax Hub, motion sensors, door contacts and a siren as standard, expandable for any property size
