How to find a reliable, local home security system installer
Home security specialists design security systems for your home or workplace, often carrying out assessments to determine how secure your property is. This includes fitting burglar alarms and fire alarms, as well as surveillance cameras and outdoor motion detector lighting.
What a home security specialist can help you with
A security specialist’s job is to secure your home so that it’s protected from break in attempts. They can help with:
- Installing alarm systems, including burglar alarms and fire alarms
- Installing CCTV cameras
- Fitting roller shutters on garage doors and garage locks
- Fitting a new lock on a door
- Fitting security fencing, security gates and security bollards
- Fitting security grilles on windows and doors
- Increasing your door security by adding extra deadlocks, reinforcing your door frame, or adding a peep hole, door bolt, or security chain
Burglars are always on the lookout for homes that don’t seem secured against intruders. Installing a reinforced door, security cameras, and a burglar alarm can discourage thieves from trying to break into your property.

Types of home security systems
There are several ways you can protect your home from intruders. The more security systems you invest in, the safer you and your belongings will be if someone does try to break into your home. Security systems can also protect you from fire, smoke and carbon monoxide exposure. The below are a few of the main security systems:
Many security systems offer smart home features, like smart alarms and video doorbells. By enabling notifications on your mobile phone, you can receive alerts if a home alarm goes off when you’re not in. Video doorbells allow you to see who’s at the door without having to open it, and enable you to communicate remotely with them from your phone.
You can also opt to get premium security locks professionally installed by speaking to a local locksmith in your area. They’ll be able to recommend a good model for your home and door.
For more details on securing your home against break ins, read our improving your home’s security blog. Or, speak to a home security specialist today to get some advice on protecting your property.
Factors to consider when hiring a home security specialist
Some things can’t be replaced. Avoid the heartbreak of a burglary, and ensure you and your loved ones stay safe, by investing in a home security system. Look out for security system installers that:
- Have a strong history of successful projects
- Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
- Have a good range of positive reviews from other homeowners
- Are offering the service you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by
- Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other local home security companies
A local security system installer is more likely to respond quickly as they’ll be right around the corner and ready to help.

How much does it cost to hire a home security specialist?
How much you end up paying for home security features depends on the model and its smart features, as well as where you live in the UK.
On average, you can expect to pay:
- Between £400 and £800 for a wireless CCTV system, or between £700 and £1,000 to install a wired CCTV system. For the differences between these systems, and which you should get, read our burglar alarm FAQs blog
- Between £30 and £300 to install a fire alarm
- Between £400 and £700 to install a burglar alarm

Other home security FAQ's
Do home security systems require planning permission?
Security alarms and CCTV cameras do not usually require planning permission for standard UK homes. However, if your property is listed or located in a conservation area, you must check with your local planning authority first. Additionally, any CCTV cameras capturing public paths or neighbouring properties must comply with UK GDPR and Data Protection Act rules.
What questions should I ask a home security specialist before hiring?
Ask your specialist which security setup best suits your home layout, how much the job will cost, and how long installation will take. You should also confirm whether they hold valid public liability insurance and if they are accredited by recognised industry bodies like SSAIB or NSI.
Will a professionally installed home security system lower my insurance premiums?
Yes, many home insurance providers offer lower premiums or require professional installation as a condition for cover. To qualify, insurers typically require the system to be fitted by an accredited installer (such as an NSI or SSAIB certified specialist) and compliant with recognised British security standards.
