Burglar, security and intruder alarm installation – Rated People
Why professional home security matters
The Metropolitan Police describe a burglar alarm as "undoubtedly the most effective deterrent against burglary." However, security experts emphasise that an alarm system works best alongside excellent physical security. Sturdy, British Standard locks should always be fitted to your doors and windows, and locked whenever you leave the house—failing to do so could completely invalidate your home insurance policy.
While off-the-shelf DIY alarm kits are widely available, a professional installation ensures your sensors, cameras, and shock detectors are positioned with absolute precision. An expert security engineer will eliminate blind spots, properly calibrate motion sensors to prevent accidental activations from pets, and install highly visible external sirens that act as a strong visual deterrent to opportunist thieves.

Understanding the different types of burglar alarms
Audible-only alarms
These traditional systems trigger a loud external and internal siren when activated, but do not automatically contact anyone. They rely entirely on the noise deterring the intruder and alerting neighbors or passers-by. These systems are highly effective if you live in a close-knit community, have neighbors close by, or are part of an active neighborhood watch scheme.
Dialler burglar alarms
A dialler system automatically calls or texts a sequence of pre-programmed phone numbers (such as yourself, family members, or trusted neighbours) when triggered.
- Speech diallers: These plug into your property's physical landline. While reliable, they run the risk of being disabled if an intruder cuts your external phone line.
- GSM diallers: These operate using a mobile network SIM card. They cannot be physically cut, but they do require a strong local mobile signal and a topped-up SIM card to function.
Smart home security systems
Smart systems connect directly to your home Wi-Fi and alert you instantly via a smartphone app. They allow you to arm, disarm, and monitor your security from anywhere in the world. These versatile setups can be expanded with smart plugs (to turn on lamps remotely and mimic occupancy) and smart cameras that provide a live, real-time video feed of your property.
⚠️ Note: To maximise their effectiveness as a deterrent, ensure your smart system includes a highly visible, backlit external alarm box, as many basic DIY kits only include subtle internal sirens.
Remote signalling (monitored) alarms
This is the gold standard of home security. These systems are permanently connected to an external monitoring centre run by a security company. If the alarm is triggered, the centre confirms the breach and can contact the police directly.
Monitored systems require a monthly contract and strict compliance rules: you must nominate at least two keyholders who live within 20 minutes of the property, have their own transport, and know how to operate the system. Because the police handle thousands of false alarms, they will only respond to monitored systems installed by companies registered with the police and independently inspected to British Standards.

Other burglar alarm FAQ's
How much does a burglar alarm cost, and are there ongoing fees?
Installation costs depend heavily on your home's size; a large property with multiple ground-floor windows requires significantly more sensors and contacts than a small flat. If you choose a fully monitored system with direct police dispatch capabilities, you will also need to factor in an ongoing monthly fee, which typically ranges from £30 to £100.
Will a burglar alarm lower my home insurance premiums?
Yes, a professionally installed system can substantially lower your annual premiums. However, if your insurer gives you a discount, you are contractually obligated to keep the alarm fully maintained. If a break-in occurs while the system is switched off or the wireless batteries are dead, your provider may refuse to pay out your claim.
What credentials should an installer have, and do I need planning permission?
Always look for installers accredited by the NSI (NACOSS) or the SSAIB, as insurance companies usually mandate these certifications. These bodies verify technical competence, background security vetting, and public liability insurance. Planning permission isn't required for external siren boxes unless you live in a listed building or a conservation area.

Hired paul to reconfigure my kitchen. He did not complete the job and walked out after 3 weeks leaving numerous jobs unfinished. Many things they did have had to be redone, the finish was shoddy and I don't think he knows what a right angle is. Would obviously not recommend, other tradesmen that have seen his workmanship have told me to report him to trading standards. He left me with a half finished job, saying he was not able to achieve the level of finish I was looking for.
